Document Description
The project is limited to Phase 2 geotechnical investigation within Folsom Lake. This consists of exploratory drilling and related sampling necessary to gain relevant information for the design of a proposed new Folsom Lake Intake and Pump Station.
The project includes a total of four exploratory bores holes within the ordinary high water mark of Folsom Lake. Two borings will be land-based to depths of about 120 feet below existing ground level, and two borings will be lake-based borings to depths of at least 50 to 60 feet below the lake bottom floor. Lake based operations will include diesel powered drill rigs, two barges, and one support vessel.
Project will involve the basic data collection, research, and/or resource evaluation activities which do not result in a serious or major disturbance purposes to an environmental resource, as part of a study leading to an action which a public agency has not yet approved, adopted, or funded.
