Document Description
The project involves removing an existing 17" by 30" HPR box from a drainage ditch (wetlands). This box will be replaced with a new 17" by 30" box placed to the north of the current site in developed ruderal vegetation in a residential yard. The existing gas line will be trenched (12" wide) to check the condition of the connecting pipe and the gas main; the connecting pipe will have to be extended approximately 10 to 12 feet northward to attach the new HPR box. The excavation area will be refilled and excavated areas to be re-contoured to pre-project contours. The site will be re-vegetated with locally collected seed, existing rhizomatous vegetation and local materials if necessary. Vegetation will be inspected the following spring for adequate cover and additional planting will be done if necessary.
The proposed action should have a minimal to negligible affect on the watershed of Atascadero Creek. The affected wetlands are located in a roadside drainage ditch on the northern side of Occidental Road.
