Document Description
Approximately 150 feet west of California Aqueduct mile post MP 132.77R, an existing culvert pipe crosses under West Cerini Avenue. One end of this pipe is connected to a sluice gate on the southern side of West Cerini Avenue, and the other end is in the Department of Water Resources (DWR) right of way (ROW), on the north side of West Cerini Avenue. Since the portion of the pipe in the DWR ROW is buried, and the exact location and condition of the pipe is unknown, San Luis Field Division (SLFD) needs to make exploratory excavations to locate the buried end of the culvert pipe. If the end of the pipe can be located, enough soil will be removed to expose the end of it, returning the pipe and surrounding slope back to design specifications. The excavations made to locate the pipe will be backfilled and compacted. This project will benefit SLFD and the adjacent landowner.
