Document Description
The project is limited to removal and replacement of a section of the 22-inch diameter north coast water delivery pipeline owned and operated by the City of Santa Cruz Water Department with new 24-inch diameter pipeline. The section of pipeline to be replaced consists primarily of 16- to 22-inch welded steel pipe that runs along Highway 1. The alignment of new pipeline will generally follow the alignment of the existing water main. The new alignment will be approximately 19,800 linear feet long with 18,500 linear feet of replaced pipeline. Approximately 90 percent of the proposed pipeline will be constructed employing standard open trench construction techniques. The remainder of the proposed pipeline will be built using a trenchless construction method such as horizontal directional drilling and jack and bore. Directional drilling methods will be used at the proposed crossing of Lombardi Gulch. A new 10-foot wide easement will be constructed along the pipeline alignment, which will permanently impact 125 linear feet of riparian forest and scrub habitat. Approximately 555 linear feet of riparian forest and scrub habitat within the existing 10-foot-wide easement that occurs along the existing pipeline will be restored. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is executing a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement No. 1600-2014-0413 pursuant to section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the project Applicant, Rosemary Menard/ City of Santa Cruz Water Department.
