Title

Salton Community Services District Salton City Wastewater Treatment Plant Project

Description

The Department is issuing a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement for the project proponent who proposes the construction of a new 0.5 million gallon per day (MGD) wastewater treatment plant. This new 40 acre treatment plant would be located in Section 26, Township 10 South, Range 10 East, southeast of Salton City. The project also includes constructing 1.6 miles of 8" and 12" force mains extending from an existing 8" force main at Plaza Avenue in Salton City to the proposed wastewater treatment plant; replacing existing Lift Station No. 22 on the same site, located near the intersection of Plaza Avenue and Panorama Avenue, northeasterly of the existing wastewater treatment plant; replacing existing Lift Station No. 24 on the same site. This construction will temporarily impact 0.934 acres of drainages and will include the excavation of approximately 1,963 cubic yards of sandy soils. The project will permanently impact approximately 0.05 acres of creosote bush scrub habitat and approximately 0.25 acres of desert sink scrub habitat for a total of 0.3 acres of permanent impact to jurisdictional waters. The permanent impacts to 0.3-acres of ephemeral drainages shall by mitigated by the project proponent's purchasing of 0.6 acres (2:1) of mixed creosote scrub/desert dry-wash woodland. The 0.934 acres of temporary impacts will be restored back to pre-project conditions.
