Document Description
The El Dorado Irrigation District (District) proposes to remove debris that has accumulated in a seasonal drainage that is tributary to Carson Creek located in the El Dorado Hills Business Park of El Dorado Hills, CA. The debris has caused the drainage to back up and inundate a manhole access to a sewer collection main line. The standing water is leaking into the sewer system through the manhole lid and reducing the sewer line capacity and preventing maintenance access. It is critical that the District access the inundated manhole and perform the necessary maintenance of this section of sewer main line prior to the onset of seasonal wet weather to minimize the potential of a sewer line backup, spill, or failure. Project activities would include utilizing a small backhoe/excavator with a thumb attachment to remove the accumulated debris in the drainage. The debris would be gradually removed to allow the standing water to drain downstream in a controlled manner minimizing downstream impacts. Project activities would be limited to the removal of accumulated debris and minimal vegetation removal necessary to access the debris pile. The project activities would not alter the bed, bank, or the channel of the drainage. The removed debris will be hauled off-site to prevent additional downstream blockages at culverts and other locations. Project activities are anticipated to be conducted in one or two work days and occur Monday through Friday during normal work hours between 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
