Document Description
The Santa Ana Regional Interceptor (SARI) line is an important infrastructure link moving unreclaimable waste and sewage from their sources to a treatment facility in Orange County. This project will repair three leaks in pipe joints identified during routine maintenance using remote cameras to examine the interior of the pipeline. The joints will be repaired using pressure grouting around the exterior of the pipe joints. Pressure grouting minimizes soil disturbance necessary for protection of the pipeline. The project is designed to protect the pipe from inundation with flood waters held behind the Prado Dam and prevent further damage to the pipeline that could result in spills.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15301
Reasons for Exemption
This project is categorically exempt from CEQA because it consists of the maintenance and repair of an existing facility providing sewerage services and does not involve the expansion of use of that facility beyond that existing at the time of the lead agency's determination. This project is also exempt under Public Resources Code, Section 21080.21 for pipeline maintenance and repair work involving less than a mile of pipeline.
This existing SARI facility is part of a publicly owned utility providing sewerage services to the area. The project will enhance reliability and mitigate the risk of spills impacting public health and water quality.
