Project Overview

Basics

CLEAN AND ABUNDANT WATER FOR HUMAN COMMUNITIES
Improve Drinking Water Quality and Water Related Infrastructure to Protect Public Health
Blue Lake Fieldbrook Pipeline Support Retrofit

  • Address Climate Change and Extreme Event Effects, Impacts and Vulnerabilities
  • Ensure that Disadvantaged and Underrepresented Communities Benefit from Initiatives
  • Ensure Water Supply Reliability and Quality
  • Respect Local Autonomy and Local Knowledge in NCRP Planning and Implementation
  • Work across Jurisdictional Boundaries to Achieve Common Objectives Effectively and Efficiently

NCRP IRWM Prop 84 Round 1 (DWR)
Completed
The proposed project addresses the potential loss of water service to two communities that serve approximately 2,880 residents. By constructing a new crossing, the receiving communities will likely continue to receive potable water during flood conditions or after an earthquake. Currently, their water source is vulnerable to both these natural disasters. This region of California is very seismically active and receives large storm events several times a year; it is not a matter of if these disasters will happen, but when they will happen. Therefore, constructing a new crossing will address the vulnerability problems of the existing crossing's infrastructure.

General Information

Project Description Narrative (1,000 character limit)
The project was divided into two phases. The first phase consisted of the preliminary design and initial studies required to finalize the project description for use in the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) processes. The second phase included the final engineering design, environmental and right-of-way permitting, and construction of the project. The result of the project is a seismically resilient underground pipeline bringing potable water across the Mad River from the Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District to the Blue Lake and Fieldbrook/Glendale communities.
