Document Description
The project will involve the installation of 1,500 feet of pipeline that will tie directly into an existing siphon that goes under Ash Creek, thereby eliminating the inefficient existing water delivery ditch. The pipeline will start approximately 700 feet from the Adin Dam, off another existing ditch that is used to convey water to adjacent landowners. The pipeline will be installed using specialized trenching equipment parallel to the old ditch with a minimal disturbance to the plant community (composed of primarily non-native grasses) within the project area. The width of the disturbance area is about 20 feet for a distance of about 1,500 feet or approximately 0.7 acre. After the pipeline is placed within the trench, the area will be backfilled, returned to grade and reseeded.
