Title

Fresno Priority 2 Regional Transmission Mains Addendum

Description

The City is proposing to refine the segment of the pipeline alignment going through the unpaved right-of-way on the Leaky Acres site as previously analyzed in the certified Supplemental MND (SCH#2015101105). Instead, the alignment would follow north along North Chestnut Diagonal from the intersection of East Dakota Avenue and North Chestnut Ave. for approx. 1,500 feet before terminating ont he City owned parcel at the corner of North Chestnut Diagonal and North Winery Ave. The revised pipeline length would be approx. 900 feet shorter than that analyzed in the SMND. In addition, the hours of construction activities for the proposed Project are limited by the Mitigation Measure stipulated in the SMND, pursuant to the Metro Plan Update EIR. Specifically, Metro Plan Update EIR Mitigation Measure 4.8.1 limits the hours of construction within the City of Fresno to between 7:00 am and 6:00 pm Monday through Saturday, and construction activities shall be prohibited on Sundays and holidays. The City proposes to change Metro Plan Update EIR Mitigation Measure 4.8.1, as stipulated in the Supplemental MND, to conform with Article 1 - Noise regulations, Section 10-110 of the City municipal code, which allows for a permit to be issued authorizing noises prohibited by Article 1. Installation of the pipeline along the refined alignment would be otherwise consistent with the construction considerations described in the SMND, except that construction of the refined alignment would occur in a different location in comparison to that specified in the SMND.
