West of Hills Northern Pipelines Project (EIR Addendum - Wildcat Pipeline, Berkeley)

West of Hills Northern Pipelines Project (EIR Addendum - Wildcat Pipeline, Berkeley)

The Wildcat Pipeline (Berkeley) is 1 of 4 water transmission pipelines approved and certified in the West of Hills Northern Pipelines Project EIR which includes construction of about 8,200 feet of 48-inch pipeline from Nogales Street to Parker Street, predominantly in Dana Street, Stuart Street ,Benvenue Avenue, and Woolsey Street, in the City of Berkeley. A new pipeline alignment (Ellsworth Street Alignment) was identified during detailed design and includes construction of about 5,450 feet of 48-inch pipeline from Benvenue Avenue to Bancroft Way, predominantly in Stuart Street and Ellsworth Street. Staff conducted an evaluation and determined that the new alignment is a minor project change that does not result in new significant impacts or causes an increase in the severity of previously identified impacts as presented in the certified Project EIR. In accordance with the CEQA, ABMUD completed an Addendum to the West of Hills Northern Pipelines Project EIR to address environmental impacts from the revised alignment. EBMUD will implement the same mitigation measures for the Ellsworth Street Alignment as presented in the Project EIR.
