Santa Clara Valley Water District

The proposed project would construct an advanced recycled water treatment facility capable of producing up to 10 million gallons of ultra-pure recycled water per day using advanced treatment technologies including microfiltration, reverse osmosis and ultraviolet disinfection. The product water from the proposed project would be blended with the tertiary effluent from the Santa Jose/Santa Clara Water Pollution Control Plant to reduce the total dissolved solids concentration in the blended water to a maximum of 500 mg/L. The district and the City of San Jose, which have discretionary approval over the project, are respectively the lead agency and the responsible agency under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The United States Bureau of Reclamation, which has discretionary approval over project funds allocated through the Title XVI program, is the lead agency for the proposed project under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

The proposed Project would :1) Repair and resurface approximately 1200 linear feet of the Service Road and 300 linear feet adjacent to the Clarifiers. 2) To widen the road at the east and west corners near the Warehouse so that trucks could maneuver their vehicles for entering and exiting the lower area of the plant. 3) Construction of the truck turnout at the North Service Road (Approximately 200 feet).

The Project would establish a microwave network for voice and datacommunication between District facilities and provide a link to the county-wide emergency communication system.

Engineer's Report

The proposed Project is located at Santa Clara Valley Water District's (District) Santa Teresa Water Treatment Plant (STWTP) in unincorporated Santa Clara County.

The proposed project consists of repair of seepage monitoring facilities at Almaden and Calero Dams. This would involve removal of sediment and vegetation, as well as re-pouring of concrete for the V-ditches at the Calero location only. DSOD has requested that the work be completed this calendar year.

The proposed Project consists of:

1) Control burrowing rodent populations on dams through live trapping and bait stations (continuation of existing 2007-2010 program); and

2) Remove small mammal burrows on dams through excavation and compaction or grouting.

The proposed Project involves rehabilitating a three mile segment of the East Pipeline which is located along White Road, between Patt Avenue and Ocala Avenue, in east San Jose, California. The proposed Project has a multi-faceted scope including basic maintenance, mandated improvements, and corrective modifications. The objective of the proposed Project is to increase the reliability and useful life of the East Pipeline, helping to ensure the long term reliable delivery of potable water to consumers within the pipeline’s service area. A public hearing on the Engineer’s Report will be held at 10:00 AM on August 25, 2009, at the Santa Clara Valley Water District, 5700 Almaden Expressway, San Jose, California.

The proposed Project involves rehabilitating a six mile segment of the West Pipeline, located on the west side of the San Jose Metropolitan Area. The six mile segment is located in Saratoga, Cupertino, and Los Altos. A temporary shutdown of this segment of the treated water supply piping will be necessary to complete this work, but alternate sources will provide water without service interruption.
