Existing San Lorenzo Sewer Lift Station
9 Built in 1960's, retrofitted in the 1980's
Mechanical and electrical equipment are old, outdated and
difficult to maintain in proper operating condition
Location is hard to access beneath Bristol Street
IV Electrical panels are outdoors — set on the back of sidewalk
Access is a manhole that floods during rain storms
' Existing computer software (operating system) is obsolete and
support is not readily available
Routine Maintenance requires the closure of a travel lane and
disruption of traffic on Bristol Street

EIR Process
' Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared for the San
Lorenzo Sewer Lift Station in 2010
EIR was circulated for Public Review and Comment from July
14t through September 10th, 2010 (58 days)
` EIR was originally scheduled for the City Council meeting of
February 7th, 2011; however, the item was pulled to address a
number of last minute comments received the afternoon of the
City Council meeting
The City chose to expand the EIR's analysis of alternatives for
the proposed project and incorporate other minor revisions into
the document
40 A Draft EIR was prepared and re -circulated for public review
from September 14th through October 31St, 2011
OR The re -circulated EIR evaluated 21 alternatives to the proposed
project, including 19 alternative site locations
Alternative Site Locations
Findings
None of the alternatives evaluated is environmentally superior
to the proposed project
Many of these alternatives would actually have greater
environmental impacts than the proposed project
The proposed new location for the lift station is an unused sliver
of land at the West end of San Lorenzo Avenue

Acquisition
10 To Construct the new lift station, the City will need to acquire
approximately 292 Square Feet of unused land currently owned
by the Santa Ana California Lodge
A portion of this acquisition includes an existing sewer
easement that was dedicated to the City in the 1960s when that
portion of San Lorenzo Avenue was vacated
There is an existing 12" sewer main currently flowing through
g
said easement, and this sewer main is operating above capacity
New San Lorenzo Sewer Lift Station
Construction of New Lift Station will take 10-12 months to
complete
Will significantly reduce the chances of a major sewage spill
New facility will include a masonry block building to house
electrical equipment and control panels
Building will be approximately 10'x30' and 17' high, and will
include a below ground dry pit to house the pumps, motors and
associated equipment
New facility will include landscape and hardscape improvements
to improve the aesthetics of the area
