Specifications include, but are not limited to: The District is proposing to construct the Project to replace the connection between the District’s two largest drinking water treatment plant facilities that, together, provide twothirds of the District’s water supply. The Project would enable the District to efficiently convey drinking water sourced from its existing supplies at Jenkinson Lake and the South Fork American River watershed to areas throughout the District’s service area. The Sly Park Intertie (SPI) is an existing 22- to 24-inch diameter steel pipeline, approximately 4.5 miles in length, which extends between the District’s Reservoir 1 Water Treatment Plant (Reservoir 1) and Reservoir A Water Treatment Plant (Reservoir A), and continues to the Sly Park Hills Tank. The Project is located approximately 1.5 miles southwest of the Pollock Pines community and 10 miles east of the city of Placerville, California. The northern segment of the Project area includes Reservoir 1 and is located on the north side of U.S. Highway 50 (HWY 50). The Project area continues approximately 4.5 miles south-southeast before terminating at the Sly Park Hills Tank, located off Mackinaw Street, approximately 0.5 miles from Reservoir A. The Project area elevations range between approximately 3,000 and 3,730 feet above mean sea level (amsl). The Project traverses lands owned by the District, and lands administered by the El Dorado National Forest (USFS), and various private property. The Project is divided into four segments based on equipment access and construction methods. The four segments are listed below: • Segment 1: Approximately 0.5 miles, primarily along paved roadways, from Reservoir 1 along Pony Express Trail, under HWY 50, and along Ridgeway Drive. • Segment 2: Approximately 3 miles cross-country, traversing four drainages from Ridgeway Drive to Reservoir A. • Segment 3: Approximately 0.5 miles within the Reservoir A facility, including construction of an approximately 1,600 square foot, two-story pump station. • Segment 4: Approximately 0.5 miles cross-country, from Reservoir A to the Sly Park Hills Tank.
