TAHOE DONNER PIPELINE REPLACEMENT PROJECT
PRELIMINARY REVIEW
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS
ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING
1. Project Description
Approximately 71, 000 lineal feet of existing water pipeline in
the Tahoe Donner subdivision will be replaced. These
pipelines were installed when the subdivision was constructed
between 1971 and 1975. They have reached the end of their
useful life due to excessive leakage caused by corrosion of
the steel pipelines. The total length of pipelines in the
Tahoe Donner subdivision is roughly 341, 300 lineal feet. The
pipelines to be replaced represent about 20 percent of the
total. The remaining 80 percent of the lines have not
displayed the same severity of leakage and are not scheduled
for replacement at this time.
The pipeline replacement will involve the installation of new
ductile iron water mains parallel to the existing steel mains.
The new mains will be coated to prevent corrosion. New
service and fire hydrant laterals from the main to the
property lines will also be installed so that only new piping
material will be located beneath the paved roadways. The new
pipelines will be the same size as the existing lines that
they replace. A map showing the locations of pipelines to be
replaced, and a list indicating lengths, are attached.
Construction is scheduled to begin in May of 1991 and should
be completed by the end of 1991.
2 . Project site prior to this project
The project site is a developed subdivision. The Tahoe Donner
Subdivision is primarily residential. There are over 6000
residential lots within the subdivision. Approximately 45% of
the lots are currently developed. The remaining 55% of the
properties are vacant, undeveloped lots. The subdivision is
served by public water and sewer, electricity, phone, cable TV
and paved county roadways. The topography varies from meadow
land to hills. The new pipelines will be located along the
edge of the existing paved roadways. These areas have been
disturbed during previous construction, and this project will
not affect sites of historic or cultural significance.
3 . Surrounding Property
Land along both sides of all roadways in which pipelines will
be replaced is residential, mostly single-family lots with
some multi-unit residential properties along a small number of
streets. Vegetation is typical of the east side Sierra Nevada
° - mountain range. Grasses are found in only a few places.
Bushes are sage brush and manzanita. Conifers such as White
Fir, Jeffery and Lodge Pole Pine are common. Small animals
such as mice, rabbits and squirrels abound. Larger game such
as coyote and deer occasionally frequent the area.
DISCUSSION OF "YES" AND "NO" ANSWERS
Permanent effects of this project will be negligible. Since the
project is a like-sized replacement of existing water lines in
developed roadways, no alteration of existing features will occur.
Capacity of the system will no be increased, and this project will
not alter population growth or location.
