Document Description
On approximately January 16, 2009, the now non-operational forcemain exposed itself. It is believed that increased tidal action associated with the opening of the wetlands east of Interstate 5 (I-5) (associated with the San Dieguito Wetlands Restoration Project) caused increased scour on the south side of the San Dieguito River. A section of the pipeline approximately 25 feet in length was exposed. Since that time, an additional approximately 20 feet has been exposed.
The proposed project entails the removal of an existing approximately 35-year old forcemain pipeline under the San Dieguito River. As discussed above, the pipeline has been exposed and it has been determined that the best course of action would be its removal.
