Ebbetts Pass Reach 3A Pipeline Replacement Project (Streambed Alteration Agreement No. 1600-2015-0017-R2)

The Calaveras County Water District (CCWD) will replace a deteriorating water line (Reach 3A pipeline) in its Ebbetts Pass water system with a new 12-inch line. The existing 10 to 12-inch steal water line has reached the end of its useful life and leak repairs are more frequent. The project consists of replacing approximately 19,250 linear feet of 12-inch waterline between the Sawmill Tank (White Pines) and Meadowmont Tank (Arnold) including approximately sixteen pressure reducing valve stations and some minor distribution lines and system connections. Most of the new pipeline will follow the same alignment as existing pipeline but some realignment is needed to avoid utilities and sensitive areas. Construction within the jurisdiction of CDFW will include trenching across both Cowell Creek and unnamed ephemeral streams along the project alignment. Existing pipe will be removed and new pipeline will be set. Excavation areas within the natural water courses will be filled with native material (silt, sand, and cobble) that has been stockpiled on site, then regraded and contoured to match the pre-existing conditions. Any excess material will be removed from the site. The construction of the project will result in 0.038 acres of temporary impacts to CDFW jurisdictional areas.
