Document Description
The Peace Valley Pipeline is a five mile section of the West Branch conveyance system that provides over 525,000 acre-feet/year of State Water Project water to Southern California. The results from an inspection of the pipeline on January 19, 2007 showed three pipe sections with numerous pre-stressed wires broken and in need of repair. The repair includes groundwater dewatering, excavation, shoring, and concrete encasement of the three affected pipe sections, and the backfilling of the excavations. Each of the excavations will be 24 ft. wide by 26 ft. long by 23 ft. deep. Staging and spoils areas will be adjacent to existing alignment of pipeline. This project will have no significant adverse environmental impacts. The citizens of Southern California will benefit by repair of a major source of imported water for domestic, municipal, and agricultural uses.
