BACKGROUND:
The District has relocated portions of its M4-A Forcemain pipeline and above ground
sewer pipeline in Waterfront Road and constructed an emergency bypass and drainback
structure at its Fairview Pumping Station. When inspecting the pipelines in Waterfront
Road, the District discovered leaks that could be attributed to the tidal action of the bay
and significant vibrations from trains along with the heavy truck traffic on Waterfront
Road. The land in this area is unstable as it is made up various types of fill used to
construct Waterfront Road in the 1950’s. This soil continues to undergo consolidation
and settlement from the fill placement.
To prevent further damage to their pipelines, the District’s asked the County for a new
easement which is further from the road and train tracks from the pipeline. The District
has relocated their pipelines to the new easement area under a Right of Entry with the
County. The District has placed various types of stabilizing foundation materials and
flexible pipelines to help alleviate damages. This activity has been found to conform to
the General Plan of the City of Martinez.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The District will have to remove their pipelines and the County would not be in
compliance with the terms and conditions of the Right of Entry.
