PTP Recycled Water Connection, Laguna Road Pipeline Project

PTP Recycled Water Connection, Laguna Road Pipeline Project

CEQA Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration: United Water Conservation District (United) operates the Pumping Trough Pipeline (PTP) System, an agricultural irrigation pipeline. United’s PTP System is located approximately 3,500 feet west of the Pleasant Valley County Water District (PVCWD) system on Laguna Road in unincorporated Ventura County, and the purpose of the project is to facilitate transfer of existing water supplies from PVCWD to United’s PTP System. The project would involve the construction of approximately 3,000 linear feet of new 24-inch inside diameter pipeline within or immediately north of Laguna Road as well as a pump station with associated piping. The proposed pipeline would extend from Wood Road on the east to approximately one mile east of East Pleasant Valley Road on the west. The pipeline alignment would cross Revolon Slough via a pipe bridge parallel to the Laguna Road Bridge, or via trenchless pipeline installation underneath the slough. The new pipeline would connect to the recently-approved PVCWD Groundwater Sustainability Improvement Program pipeline at the intersection of Wood Road and Laguna Road. The project would also involve construction of a new pump station at the northwest corner of the intersection of Laguna Road and Wood Road (Phase 2). The project would include construction of two distribution blow-offs, which would allow for discharge of pipeline water from the proposed pipeline and pump station into Revolon Slough during emergency or maintenance operations where dewatering of the pipeline and/or pump station is required. Discharges would comply with NPDES permit requirements.
