Document Description
The Los Osos Community Services District (LOCSD), the project applicant, proposes the construction and operation of an intertie to the Chorro Valley Pipeline to provide an alternative source of potable for the LOCSD. The project would involve the construction of an intertie to the Chorro Valley Pipeline and the installation of an approximately 2.5-mile pipeline. The proposed intertie would consist of a vault with piping, meter, valves, and may also consist of a booster pump station that would facilitate a controlled and metered flow of potable water to the LOCSD. It is anticipated that state water could provide up to 200 acre-feet per year (AFY) of water supply.

Other Location Info
The project alignment consists of an approximately 2.5-mile segment of South Bay Boulevard, Quintana Road, and Highway 1 (MND Figure 1). The intertie (to the Chorro Valley Pipeline) would be constructed to the north of the southbound lane of Highway 1 and the proposed pipeline alignment would begin at this location, cross under Highway 1 and extend south toward Quintana Road, west along Quintana Road toward South Bay Boulevard, south along South Bay Boulevard, and would terminate at the LOCSD’s basin at the intersection of Santa Ysabel Avenue and South Bay Boulevard (MND Figure 2). The entire project would be located within the public right-of-way (ROW) and within the unincorporated San Luis Obispo county, under the jurisdiction of the County of San Luis Obispo (County), except for the portion of the project beginning approximately 600 feet north of the Cerro Cabrillo Trailhead/Quarry Trailhead parking lot/turnout to approximately 1,200 feet south of the South Bay Boulevard and Quintana Road intersection, which would be located in Morro Bay city under the jurisdiction of the City of Morro Bay (City). The entire project alignment and intertie location is located within the California Coastal Zone and portions of the alignment are located within original and appellate jurisdiction of the California Coastal Commission (CCC).
