Document Description
The San Francisquito Blow-off Structure is one of six blowoff structures along the Foothill Feeder pipeline. The Foothill Feeder is a 201-inch diamter pre-stressed concrete cylinder pipeline (PCCP) that was constructed in 1968. In March 2005, electromagnetic inspections of the Foothill Feeder identified three distressed pipe sections that require prompt repair. In order to perform repairs on the Foothill Feeder, access to the San Francisquito blow-off structure is required to dewater a portion of the pipeline. The San Francisquito blow-off structure is used to drain by gravity a portion of the Foothill Feeder into San Francisquito Creek. The 2004/2005 winter storms produced high flows in San Francisquito Creek, which damaged the 12-foot wide access road and a protective slab surrounding the blow-off structure, leaving the structure inaccessible. Metropolitan needs to periodically access the structure to maintain valves and to dewater the pipeline for planned and emergency shutdowns. In order for Metropolitan to continue necessary operational activities, inspections, maintenance, and repairs of this pipeline, the access road and pad must be rebuilt.
