Document Description
Caltrans proposes to construct decanting pads at the following 2 locations: On Route 215 at 0.2 mile Southeast of Route 10 and Route 215 Separation in Colton; Route 330 at 0.4 mile Southeast of Route 210/330 Separation in San Bernardino, which would include the removal of two trees. All work would be performed within Caltrans Right of Way. Each replacement decanting pad would be constructed off the roadway and within a clear recovery area. The pad would measure approximately 55 feet in width, 70 feet in length, and 2 feet in depth, excavated to these dimensions. Excavated material would be reused onsite. The new decanting pads are concrete structures with no earth base material. There are no plastic, rubber, or other types of liners present, and no rock slope protection (RSP) has been installed. The decanting pads are flush with the ground surface. The new facilities would support maintenance operations by collecting and separating debris from runoff water. The decanting pads would not connect to any drainage facilities. Vegetation removal is needed to complete the project.
