NCRP IRWM Prop 84 Round 2 (DWR)
Completed
The project will prevent water supply shortages in this disadvantaged community. BRCSD serves Hiouchi, Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, and the Smith River National Park. The District’s 100,000 gallon tank was built in 1971, was sited on a steep hillside with grades of between 50% to 70%. Significant erosion of the tank pad has become evident and has likely been undercutting the foundation for many years. Civil engineers predict the tank will slide down Hiouchi Mountain during the combined factors of a wet winter and at least a 5.5 magnitude earthquake,. The project includes access road improvements, tank replacement, and a new tank foundation anchored in bedrock.

General Information
Project Description Narrative (1,000 character limit)
The entire Project entailed improving the access road to the tank site, excavating the mountainside to secure the new water storage tank system that is designed to current seismic standards, building a retaining wall, site grading, relocating the propane tank and generator system, and installing a larger pump house to accommodate two centrifugal pumps rather than the previous single pump system. Significant improvements included installation of a seismically sound tank
foundation; a new 200,000-gallon bolted steel tank with cathodic corrosion protection; an extensive water distribution pipeline array; major SCADA upgrades including a 70-foot antenna tower to assure reliable SCADA operation, which was funded through an alternate grant fund; drainage improvements; and other substantial features.
