RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2012-132 approving plans and specifications and authorization to receive bids for
the Terramar Sewer Lift Station and Force Main Replacement, Project No. 5502.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The Terramar sewer system, which provides for 255 dwelling units, is at an elevation that prevents it from
flowing by gravity into the Vista/Carlsbad interceptor sewer pipeline. The local wastewater in the Terramar
basin is collected in local small diameter pipes which flow to a storage structure (wetwell) at the Terramar
lift station site. At the lift station the wastewater is pumped through a force main pipeline in Cannon Road
which discharges into the interceptor sewer east of the railroad right-of-way.
The existing Terramar Lift Station was constructed in 1967 and has reached the end of its useful life. The
station's electrical and mechanical equipment are antiquated and insufficient to adequately comply with
current State regulations that prohibit sanitary sewer discharge. Inspection of the lift station's force main
has found it to be severely corroded and in need of replacement.
The project includes the construction of a new lift station, and approximately 390 lineal feet of 6-inch
diameter force main, as well as rehabilitation of approximately 175 lineal feet of existing force main with the
installation of cured-in-place pipe (CIPP). The new lift station will be generally located at the same site as
the existing lift station. The upper section of the existing station will be removed, while the lower, below
grade portion of the existing structure and portions of existing pipelines will be appropriately abandoned in
place.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
This project is exempt from California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review pursuant to CEQA
Guidelines section 15302(c) in that it is a replacement of an existing utility system on the same site
involving negligible or no expansion of capacity. A Notice of Exemption was filed with the San Diego
County Clerk on July 21, 2011.
