For the last twelve <br />years, the well has been inactive due to high nitrate levels. The City is proposing to rehabilitate <br />Well 32, replace the existing well pump and construct an above -ground well building, a water <br />disinfection building, and approximately 3,250 feet of new pipeline. The water from the rehabilitated <br />Well 32 will then be pumped to the John Garthe Reservoir site for additional treatment. These <br />improvements will greatly alleviate stress on our current well infrastructure and improve the water <br />quality within the top layer of the water aquifer. <br />The City entered into an agreement on June 20, 2017 with Tetra Tech Inc. for engineering design, <br />and environmental preparation and process compliance pursuant to the California Environmental <br />Quality Act (CEQA). In accordance with CEQA, an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration <br />(IS/MND) was prepared for this project (Exhibit 1) along with a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting <br />Program (Exhibit 2), both of which must be approved and adopted by the City Council (Exhibit 3) <br />in order to move forward with the rehabilitation of Well 32. <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #6 - Community Facilities & <br />Infrastructure, Objective #1 (establish and maintain a Community Investment Plan for all City <br />assets), Strategy C (invest resources and technology to extend the service life of existing <br />infrastructure to protect the City's investment and support a high quality of life standard). <br />75A-1 <br />
