Title

Carmel Meadows Lift Station and Sewer Replacement project

Description

The proposed project is located on the northern edge of the Carmel Meadows Subdivision, which includes approximately 150 homes, some of which overlook the Pacific Ocean to the west while others overlook the Carmel River Lagoon to the north. The proposed project uses a small lift station and a series of four small residential scale sewage pumps to enable the use/reuse of accessible, and less environmentally damaging pipeline alignments through the backyards of the residences being served. A 12-inch wide trench would be dug with a small excavator to about three-feet deep, typically (maximum depth is five feet). Impacts to residential landscaping would be avoided where possible and/or restored to original or better condition. In areas where the alignment is beyond the fenced parcel, native vegetation would also be restored with native seeding and erosion best management practices installed on steeper slopes as needed. There is no expansion of sewer capacity and the new sewer line would continue to serve the same residents in the Carmel Meadows neighborhood as are served by the existing system.
