Document Description
The proposed project consists of the expansion of the treatment capacity of the Eastside Water Treatment Facility (EWTF) and construction of approximately 3.5 miles of dual 6-inch diameter PVC (polyvinyl chloride) pipelines to convey brine waste from the EWTF site to the Chino I Desalter Treatment Facility at 6905 Kimball Avenue, Chino CA. All demolition and construction associated with implementation of the EWTF expansion will take place at the existing EWTF site. An existing generator pad, concrete waste vault, highlines, and concrete pads will be demolished, a new generator pad will be constructed, the existing generator connection box will be relocated, a new ISEP™ building will be constructed, new granular activated charcoal (GAC) vessels will be installed, and two existing GAC vessels located near the southeast corner of the EWTF site will be relocated. Existing brine waste tanks located under the treatment plant canopy will be repurposed for the ISEP™ process, since once the Project is complete, they will no longer be needed to store brine waste. Instead of trucking brine waste offsite, brine waste will be conveyed from the EWTF site via the proposed Brine Pipeline to the Inland Empire Brine Line (IEBL). New cartridge filters will be installed east of the existing GAC vessels.
The Brine Pipeline will be constructed using an open trench method, except where it crosses under a drainage culvert at Merrill Street before going south at Euclid Avenue. Vertical trenching will be used at this location so that the pipelines will be constructed under the drainage culvert. Construction of the Brine Pipeline will entail the removal of approximately 86 trees in four locations within the western ROW of Bon View Avenue between Schaefer Avenue and Merrill Avenue.
