Document Description
San Joaquin field division (SJFD) staff plans to remove a foot of the slope along the v-ditch surrounding the Wind Gap Pumping Plant (WGPP). This will be done by using a bobcat. A shovel will be used in places where the bobcat cannot reach. Soil will be transported via a dump truck to the San Joaquin O&M yard spoil site. A water truck will be used to soften the slope and to control dust. The work is anticipated to take up to 4 weeks to complete. This work is necessary to maintain the drainages surrounding the plant.
