Document Description
The California Highway Patrol proposes to replace the Running Track at the CHP Academy located in West Sacramento. Replacement of the track includes installation of an all weather surface track and new lighting fixtures. The new track will be located in the same area as the existing track and is necessary for the health and safety of the cadets training at the facility. The current track has an uneven dirt surface that ponds in areas during the rainy season. The existing track lighting is insufficient to all the Academy staff to monitor the whole track from one side. The new track lighting will correct the situation. Every year, several cadets area injured using the track. The project also involves removal and replacement of an adjacent underground diesel storage tank. The existing 12,000 gallon underground tank and auxiliary piping will be replaced with a 12,000 gallon above-ground tank. Based on periodic monitoring, there is no reason to suspect contamination leaking from the underground tank. However, if soil contamination is discovered during excavation of the tank, all appropriate local, State and Federal health and safety requirements will be met during excavation and, if necessary, remediation activities. Construction activities are expected to commence in August 2007 and last approximately 4 months.
