Document Description
The proposed project is the replacement of existing water distribution piping for the Park Royal Subdivision. The existing Park Royal water system serves approximately 75 people via 27 service connections; the water supply comes from two wells. The existing distribution system consists of approximately 4,015 feet of pipes that are buried under Hall Road and under the streets of the Park Royal Subdivision. The existing pipes are deteriorating and not able to distribute an adequate water supply to the residences. The new distribution system piping will be 8-inch diameter C-900 gasketed pipe, and will be installed under Hall Road (approximately 200 feet in length), Park Royal Avenue (1,303 feet), Abbey Lane (504 feet), Coronation Drive (998 feet), Regent Court (309 feet), and Drury Lane (525 feet). The Project will also install ten new fire hydrants. The last component of the Proposed Project is a new backup generator. This will be placed inside the fenced water system compound at 4460 Abbey Lane (which already contains the existing storage tank, the hydro tank, and the pumphouse). The generator will be a portable diesel-powered generator that is mounted on a trailer. The construction steps are: excavation of open trenches using excavators and backhoes; the installation of new pipes; backfill with sand and gravel; compaction; installation of new asphalt and slurry seal; and restriping. A traffic management plan will be implemented and the construction will conform to all Santa Rosa building codes.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15301. EXISTING FACILITIES
Reasons for Exemption
The CEQA Guidelines grant exemption to the repair of existing public utilities (such as this proposed replacement of existing water supply lines). It is also exempt because the implementation of the Project will not have a significant physical effect on the environment and mitigation measures are not required. Note that the pipeline repairs will occur only under existing paved roads and do not require the disturbance of natural habitats or removal of trees.
