Present Land Use
The proposed booster pump station (BPS) would be constructed on APN 317-050 025, which is designated as Rural Community – Very Low Density Residential in the Mead Valley Area Plan, under the Riverside County General Plan and is zoned as Rural Residential (R- R) in the County’s Zoning Ordinance. The proposed water transmission lines would be within the rights-of-way of Decker Road and Cajalco Road, which do not have a General Plan or zoning designation.
Document Description
The proposed project would construct the proposed BPS on the northwest portion of APN 317-050-025 (proposed BPS site) to replace the existing BPS located on APN 317-060-043 (existing BPS site). The proposed BPS would increase pumping capacity to provide system capacity/reliability. Proposed BPS components include a generator room, electrical room, and pump station room. The proposed BPS would include three pumps, with provisions for adding a fourth pump to meet buildout demand. Excavation for the pumps would be approximately 10 to 15 feet deep. The proposed project would also include on-site piping and paving for access roadways and sidewalks. The proposed BPS would be located within an enclosed masonry block building and include rooms for the pumping units, electrical equipment, and an emergency generator. The proposed BPS would include an on-site 18-inch diameter cement mortar lined and coated suction header. The proposed project would also construct approximately 2,200 linear feet of 18-inch diameter potable water transmission pipeline within the rights-of-way of Decker Road and Cajalco Road, as well as approximately 640 linear feet of 18-inch diameter suction piping, to convey water from the proposed BPS to the existing Cajalco Water Tank. Once construction of the proposed BPS is complete, the existing BPS on APN 317-060-043 would be removed. Existing pipelines would either stay in service or be abandoned.
