Environmental Checklist CEQA Compliance operated near capacity without a third standby pump. The lack of redundancies is particularly an issue because trash and rags frequently enter the pump and render them inoperable. Additionally, ventilation in the dry pit of the existing lift station is inadequate, and the dry pit access is prone to flooding during rain events which requires the City to maintain sand bags around the access cover from November to February each year. Furthermore, the access to the dry pit is located in the middle of a pedestrian sidewalk which must be closed for extended periods of time during entry. In addition, the pumps, motors, and other equipment have exceeded their design life. The existing lift station within Bristol Street is composed of a packaged station measuring 12 feet in diameter and 10 feet in height, with an entry tube measuring approximately four feet in diameter. Demolition of the existing lift station would involve the abandonment in place of the existing lift station, which would include removal and disposal of all pumps, suction, and discharge piping, valves, fittings, control panels, conduits, wiring, miscellaneous piping, exhaust fans, duct piping and ladder. The lift station would then be filled with sand. Demolition also would require the abandonment in place of the existing four-foot diameter by 20-foot deep wet well manhole, which also would be filled with sand. The upper 15 inches of the existing 8-foot diameter by 16-foot deep wet well also would be removed and filled with sand. An existing generator, located southerly of the existing lift station, would remain in place and would serve as a back-up power source for the proposed lift station. Finally, some removal and replacement of existing sidewalk and roadway pavement would occur in association with proposed demolition activities. Please refer to Figure 4, Existing Lift Station Demolition Plan, for a graphical depiction of the proposed demolition activities. The proposed facility would be constructed at the western end of San Lorenzo Avenue, immediately north of Segerstrom Avenue and south of an existing alley. As part of the construction of this proposed facility, some demolition activities would occur, as depicted in Figure 5, Proposed Lift Station Demolition Plan. Demolition activities would include the removal and disposal of existing pavement, curb, and gutter (both within the existing alley, the western end of San Lorenzo Avenue, and the northern edge of Segerstrom Avenue); the removal of existing trees and landscaping; the removal of an existing six-foot tall block wall; and the removal of an existing power pole. During construction activities a temporary construction easement is proposed to be located within an adjacent parcel (APN No. 410- 411-19) comprising approximately 900 s.f. in size. Figure 6, Temporary Construction Easement, depicts and describes the area proposed for the temporary construction easement. The temporary construction easement is necessary to allow for the removal of the existing solid block wall and to facilitate the construction of a new wall along with backfill and removal of shoring. Additionally, during construction of the proposed project the driveway of the property located at 2909 Bristol Street (Studio Inn) will be impacted periodically, but the access to the property will be maintained at all times and the construction of the driveway will be done one half at a time. Driveways along Segerstrom Avenue as well as the main entrance to the site from Bristol Street will not be impacted. Figure 7, Proposed Lift Station Site Plan, depicts the physical improvements proposed as part of the project. As shown, the project would require the repaving of a portion of the western end of San Lorenzo Avenue, portions of the existing alley, and a portion of Page 4 of 64 75E-8
