Document Description
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has executed Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement (EPIMS-SON-62999-R3), pursuant to Fish and Game Code section 1602, to the project Applicant, City of Petaluma.
The project is limited to installation of sections of a new sewer force main pipeline under two streams with use of microtunneling, and construction of a new multi-use pathway, as part of a larger project constructing an approximately 13,000-foot-long new sewer force main pipeline. The pipeline would approximately follow the alignment of the existing sewer force main from the City’s existing Primary Influent Pump Station facility to its termination at the existing Ellis Creek Water Recycling Facility. The parallel force main pipeline will deviate from the existing force main alignment for approximately 1,000 linear feet to avoid construction across the Azure Apartment Homes. The parallel force main pipeline will bypass this property by constructing along Casa Grande Road and Technology Lane. The project also includes construction and operation of a 2,100-foot-long segment of multi-use pedestrian and bicycle pathway between Baywood Drive and Casa Grande Road.
