<br />I have reviewed the Supplemental Draft EIR for the Centerline Project dated December 2000. My <br />comments relate to impacts on underground water and sewer facilities. <br /> <br />Construction of the project wiIl have significant impacts on existing water and sewer infrastructure. The <br />proposed elevated track configuration has a footprint of26 to 32 feet in width. Underground utilities may <br />not be able to remain in this area, since excavation for repairs could be impaired by the overhead track. At <br />the very minimum, the foundations for track supports wiIl require at least a 10 foot wide area down the <br />middle ofthe street. All existing utilities running parallel to the track would need to be relocated from <br />this area. <br /> <br />The difficulty will be finding adequate remaining street right of way in which to relocate the utilities. If <br />the project is constructed in Bristol Street, there is an Orange County Sanitation District trunk sewer as <br />well as City water and sewer mains. The 36-inch diameter Metropolitan Water District Orange County <br />Feeder is also located in Bristol Street. <br /> <br />If the project proceeds any further into the planning phase, I recommend a utility relocation plan be <br />prepared. Due to the limited available street right of way, utility relocations may be much more difficult <br />and costly than those encountered during the 1-5 widening project. <br /> <br />If you have any questions, please call me at X3317. <br /> <br />CS J87 FORM C',\VfNOOW5'.TE."rp'AGREEMENT ",'TTI-l IMTRA:\' CHECKLIST doc <br />
