City of Ukiah New Municipal Well Project

City of Ukiah New Municipal Well Project

The Proposed Project is located within the City of Ukiah on lands owned by the City, located approximately 1,500 feet southeast of the City of Ukiah Municipal Airport at/near the intersection of Nygard Lane and Highway 101. Specifically, the subject parcels are located approximately 722 feet east of the Ukiah Municipal Airport within the Airport Industrial Park Planned Development, which is designated for 'Manufacturing' land use. The project area includes two assessor parcels (APN 180-110-12 and APN 180-120-15). APN 180-110-12 is a vacant, undeveloped property, while APN 180-120-15 is an existing vineyard parcel currently in agricultural use, but also subject to the same manufacturing land use designation. Both parcels are situated along a former railroad corridor and are located to the north of the US 101 overpass at Norgard Lane (County Road #211). The purpose of the Proposed Project is to construct a new well with a capacity of approximately 600 to 1,000 gallons per minute (gpm) to help the City maintain and continue to provide its existing customers with safe and reliable water supply. The Proposed Project would consist of construction and operation of a new municipal water well within an enclosed building approximately 20-feet by 40-feet by 10-feet high, which would occur in five phases. The first phase would be the construction of a test well to determine the potential capacity of the well and to test for water quality of the aquifer. If the capacity of the well and the water quality meet Health Department standards, then the second phase for drilling and developing the well. This phase would drill the well hole and install blank and louvered casing to the necessary depths for the well. The third phase would be the installation of the pump and motor equipment. This would include the construction/installation of a drive motor, discharge line, sand separator, building, fencing, site lighting, electrical equipment and other site improvements. The fifth and last phase would be the construction of a 12-inch transmission line that would run to the north and south along the railroad for approximately 1,500-feet and tie into the City’s existing 12-inch groundwater transmission line. The pipeline would be trenched and buried approximately 3-feet deep below the existing ground surface. The new well will help provide water supply and pressure requirements for the area.
