Document Description
The proposed project would replace and extend an existing outfall near the location of the proposed effluent meter in order to avoid installing two different meters. Currently, two outfalls discharge water from the City of Galt storage reservoir into an unnamed seasonal drainage, which flows into Laguna Creek. One of the outfalls delivers water from the cascade aerator. The other outfall is a drain directly from the reservoir, used when the water level in the reservoir falls below the level of the cascade aerator. An 8-foot separation exists between the two outfall structures. In order to accurately meter the flow from both outfalls, the two pipelines would be connected with a "T" within a new catch basin structure, and a 16-inch diameter pipeline would be extended about 31 feet into the unnamed seasonal drainage. The flow meter would be installed about 6 feet "downstream" from the catch basin, and an elevation head would be constructed on the far side of the flow meter in order to keep the meter constantly full to provide accurate measurements. From that point, the pipeline would extend another 30 feet, for a total of about 61 feet of pipeline, to its point of final discharge to the seasonal drainage. The pipeline extension would involve pouring a 6-foot wide concrete apron in the existing drainage swale to support the weight of the catch basin, meter, and elevation head. The concrete apron would have 3-foot gravel "shoulders" on each side for a total width of 12 feet of fill material. The last 30 feet of the pipeline extension would be on a 6-foot wide gravel bed in the drainage swale. The purpose of the final 30-foot pipe extension is to discharge the effluent away from the new concrete slab and the junction box in order to minimize saturating the soil underneath the slab, which could cause significant settlement of the slab and affect the meter readings.
