Pimlico Drive Turnout mad Pipeline Project Enr~ironneeata/ Checklist <br />buildings throughout the City. The tank will be vented to the outside and have a level <br />detector with an alarm connected to the SCADA system so that the tank levels can be <br />monitored remotely from the City's control center, similar to the alarms used at other City <br />fluoridation facilities. The alarn~ will transmit information to the City's operational control <br />center if an unscheduled change in the tank level occurs. An operator will be immediately <br />sent to the fluoridation building to determine if a leak or upset has occurred and take <br />corrective actions, as needed. <br />Hydrofluorosilic acid, which is used throughout the City in the fluoridation process at other <br />fluoridation facilities, will be delivered to the fluoridation building approximately 14 times a <br />year. The frequency of deliveries will depend on the time of year, with deliveries roughly <br />every two weeks during the summer and less frequently in the winter. The chemical will be <br />delivered by a commercial company and the tank will be filled to 450 gallons per the City's <br />direction providing a 50-gallon freeboard to minimize potential for spills during filling. All <br />procedures for transporting the chemical and filling the tank will be approved by the <br />Livermore Pleasanton Fire Department, as are operations at all fluoridation facilities <br />throughout the City (Kathleen Campbell, personal communication Daniel Smith, Utilities <br />Superintendent, City of Pleasanton, April 5, 2006). <br />Power for the turnout and fluoridation facility will be provided from an underground <br />connection with the adjacent residential underground distribution system. Low voltage <br />exterior lighting will be provided at the fluoridation building for security and maintenance <br />needs. <br />The fluoridation building will be controlled by a Tesco L1Q2000 remote terminal unit <br />(RTU), with data telemetered via radio to the City operations center. The radio antenna will <br />be approximately 20 to 25 feet high and will consist of a mast and radio receiver mounted at <br />the top of the mast. The antenna will be mounted to the fluoridation building and extend <br />approximately 8 to 10 feet above the building. <br />Water Transmission Pipeline <br />Approximately 2,700 feet of new 20-inch ductile iron pipe will be installed within Pimlico <br />and Brockton drives. Pipe connections will be made to the new turnout facilities and to an <br />existing 27-inch pipeline owned by the City of Pleasanton. Connection to the 27-inch <br />pipeline is on Pimlico Drive, approximately 120 feet east of Santa Rita Road. <br />Approximately 50 feet of the pipeline will be placed within a concrete planter-box on the <br />south side of Pimlico Drive where the pipeline crosses the Gone 7 box culvert channel near <br />the proposed turnout site. The planter box will be approximately 3 feet high by 3 Feet wide. <br />Pipelines are routinely placed in planter-boxes throughout the City where the pipelines cross <br />channels within the road rights-of--way. <br />Santa Rita Control Valve Vault <br />The Santa Rita control valve vault will be located underground in a dedicated public utility <br />easement off the western edge of Santa Rita Road. The new control valve vault station will <br />be located in the lawn area adjacent to Rose Pavillion parking lot. The precast concrete vault <br />will be about 9 feet by 5 feet and about 6 feet deep below grade. The vault branch piping <br />will be connected to the existing 24-inch water pipeline located in the western-most lane on <br />City of Pleasanton 8 Wmzler & Kelly <br />Draft Initial Shu1y/Proposed Negative Declaration August ?006 <br />04263501 <br />
