Document Description
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is proposing to conduct repairs and upgrades to an existing water intake facility at Savage Creek from post mile (PM)
103.390 and PM 103.667 along the U.S. 101 in Humboldt County. The surface water
diversion at Savage Creek supplies municipal water to both the Trinidad Southbound
SRRA (Safety Roadside Rest Area) and the Seawood Estates Mutual Water Company (SEMWC). The purpose of the project is to upgrade the existing water supply intake system to be reliable and require less maintenance. The existing intake system currently requires frequent maintenance due to fine sediment accumulation. Work includes replacing the diversion structure's collection manifold, installing a fish friendly screen, placing graded media within the intake facility, replace the existing off-channel well pump, install a backwash system, and the replacement and addition of water lines and conduit.
