Present Land Use
The Land Use Policy Map of the Santa Clarita Valley Area Plan designates the Foothill Feeder pipeline alignment as right-of-way (both permanent easement and fee property) with a land use designation of Public Facilities within the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County. In the City of Santa Clarita, the Foothill Feeder pipeline alignment is designated as right-of-way (both permanent easement and fee property) with land use designations of RE (Residential Estate), RL (Residential Low), CC (Community Commercial), RM (Residential Moderate), RS (Residential Suburban), and OS (Open Space).
Document Description
The Foothill Feeder is a 201-inch diameter prestressed concrete cylinder pipeline (PCCP) that was constructed in 1968 and conveys water to the Sepulveda, West Valley and East Valley Feeders serving the Central Pool and western portions of Metropolitan's service area. Electromagnetic inspections performed in March 2005 revealed three distressed pipe sections with up to 70 prestressing wire breaks. Pipe sections with this level of distress warrant prompt repair. Based on the locations of the damaged segments and their condition, two different repair methods will be used. For the first repair (Foothill Feeder Carbon Fiber Liner Repair Project), carbon filter lining will be used to internally reinforce two distressed pipe segments. For the second repair (Foothill Feeder Pipeline Replacement Project), one "broken back" pipe segment will be removed and replaced with a 20-foot section of steel pipe. These activities would require a complete shutdown and dewatering of the Foothill Feeder pipeline. The EIR also discusses additional periodic shutdowns to allow for future inspections and maintenance activities.
