Document Description
The proposed project involves replacement of approximately 453 linear feet of existing damaged and deteriorated sewer main between manholes EJ21 and EJ27. Routine video inspections of the sewer system revealed structural defects due to age-related deterioration affecting the pipe, joints, and connections that require immediate repair to maintain reliable service. The existing 8-inch asbestos concrete pipe will be removed and replaced with 8-inch PVC pipe through conventional open-cut trenching which includes digging a trench, removing the existing deteriorated pipe, installing replacement pipe and backfilling the trench. Construction of the project will require removal of up to five oak trees which are growing directly above the line. Specifications are included in the project design to ensure avoidance of impacts to sensitive resources that may occur adjacent to the work area. All trees that require removal or are otherwise injured during construction will be replaced in-kind at suitable locations on site or at an approved off-site location.
