Document Description: Project consists of seven encroachments: Three encroachments are for water diversion from unnamed tributaries to Chamise Creek. Water from POD C is diverted for domestic use. Work for this water diversion will include facility retrofit, use, and maintenance of the water diversion infrastructure. Water from POD A and POD B is diverted for irrigation. Work for these water diversions will include use and maintenance of the water diversion infrastructure. The four other proposed encroachments are to upgrade failing and undersized culverts. Work for these encroachments will include excavation, removal of the failing culverts, replacement with new properly sized culverts, backfilling and compaction of fill, and rock armoring as necessary to minimize erosion.
