Mr. Robert Silverstein, Esq. 0 0 <br />Review Of The Recirculated DEIR And FEIR For The San Lorenzo Sewer Lift Station Project <br />January 12, 2012 <br />Page 8 of 18 <br />In the construction schedule, traffic control plans B.1 and B.2 call for Segerstrom <br />Avenue to be reduced to a single lane during construction of a pump station at <br />the proposed site. These traffic control plans will be in effect from Phase 4 until <br />Phase 10 of the project, which is from week 13 to week 37, a total of 25 weeks. <br />Traffic control plans C.1 and C.2 cover the construction of the force main and <br />sewer and have a duration of only four weeks. Since the length of the force main <br />and sewer is approximately double for Alternative Site 2, the RDEIR suggests <br />there might be traffic impacts for approximately an extra four weeks. <br />In reality, the traffic impacts could be even less since much of the extra force <br />main and sewer could be located in San Lorenzo Avenue, which is not a through <br />street. <br />In summary, Alternative Site No. 2 would result in impacts on Segerstrom <br />Avenue for four to eight weeks while the proposed project will impact Segerstrom <br />Avenue for 25 weeks, three to six times longer. <br />5.4.5 ALTERNATIVE SITE No. <br />In this alternative, the pump station would be placed in the parking lot behind the <br />commercial buildings at 2835 South Bristol Street. <br />Duration Of Construction <br />The RDEIR concedes that this site would require 23 percent less force main and <br />that the shorter sewer would reduce the duration of construction by six days. <br />As discussed for Site No. 2, Phase 2 (Clearing, Grubbing, Relocating The SCE <br />Pole, And Construction Of A Temporary Bypass Sewer) would be shortened by <br />at least four weeks. <br />The duration of construction would further be reduced because construction of <br />the pump station and the sewer and force main could proceed simultaneously <br />since they do not interfere with each other at this site. <br />Construction Of A Sewer In South Bristol Street <br />At the top of Page 5 -27, the RDEIR notes the depth of the sewer and the number <br />of utilities in the street and describes the trench work as being extremely difficult <br />and requiring closure of part of the street. The length of new sewer in South <br />Bristol Street scales as approximately 190 -feet. <br />55A -157 <br />
