Document Description
The El Dorado Irrigation District (District) proposes to upgrade 15 pump/lift station facilities throughout the District’s service area by installing backup power generators. The District operates over 100 pump/lift station facilities to provide drinking water and wastewater services. The continued operation of these facilities during power outages is required to maintain uninterrupted service. The project is being partially funded through a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant to install backup power generators and maintain critical public health and safety services during power outages. The generators will meet or exceed the California Air Resources Board (CARB) required emissions standards.
Project activities will vary at each location and may include: removing existing generator support pad, re-grading pad location and installing new concrete support pad, installing a low retaining wall, trenching and installation of electrical conduit, installing new electrical panel, installing pumping equipment, and installing security fencing. Work activities will occur within the previously disturbed areas of the existing facilities and utility right-of-ways. Construction equipment is anticipated to include: small excavator/backhoe, concrete truck, compactor, pickup truck, and miscellaneous hand and power tools. Disposal of construction debris/materials will be conducted in accordance with applicable regulations. Appropriate best management practices (e.g., straw bales, non-monofilament fiber rolls, biodegradable wattles, silt fence, etc.) will be used to ensure disturbed areas are stabilized to prevent soil erosion. Construction activities are anticipated to be 10-14 work days at each location and occur Monday - Friday during the hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. No interruption of drinking water or wastewater services will occur during project activities.
