Document Description
The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) is proposing the Montara Mountain Rainfall. Prediction and Radio Replacement Project to improve the accuracy of rainfall forecasts for the Bay Area Region and to replace an outdated land mobile radio system, providing reliable communications and enhancing safety. The advanced quantitative precipitation information system would install an X-band radar to improve early warning systems with better predictions of precipitation, streamflow, and storm
surges through research and climatic monitoring. The radio replacement would install a 45-foot-tall monopole with antennas and a small dish. Components also would include supporting structures and foundations, a short access road, security fencing, and power and communication lines: The project site is located on Montara Mountain in the SFPUC Peninsula Watershed in San Mateo County. Construction activities would begin in the summer or fall of 2019 and take approximately two to three months per season, and would likely require two construction seasons.
