Re: Bethel Island Municipal Improvement District
1992-1993 Block Grant
Dear Belinda:
Our original grant was to be directed toward removing encroaching levee structures, primarily
houses. During our annual review of our main storm water pump station,which is located at the end
of Taylor Road, we discovered some of our discharge piping was severely corroded. This pump
station is our main tool for removing storm water and levee seepage. Without a pump station the
Island will flood itself by trapping the rain water and seepage.
A few weeks ago we removed the earth over a few short sections of pipe to further investigate the
potential for leakage. Much to our dismay, we found the piping was far more corroded than
expected. Because of the potential damage to our levee,the buried piping was removed.
Because of the emergency nature of the pump station rehabilitation, we would like to re-direct our
grant funds to the pump station. The funds will be used to remove any buried piping or other
structural components of the old pumping system, to replace the corroded piping with new, to
replace the old air removal/siphon breakers,to add new support pilings so the piping will not be/get
buried in the levee,to replace the out-dated electrical system and controls, and to repair the wet well
confinement structure at the levee toe. A budget for the project follows.
Remove old piping, etc. $ 5,000
New Piping $ 35,000
Air release/siphon breakers $ 5,000
Additional pilings $ 7,000
Electrical $ 5,000
Wet well Improvements $ 15,000
Engineering& Inspection $ 7,000
Contingency, $ 5,000
Total $ 84,000
We would like to apply our $47,000 grant toward the project. We have applied for and have the .
potential to-get some funding from the Department of Water Resources.The remainder of the needed'
funds will come from our own resources. Without assistance, our current financial condition will
force us to complete the project over several years. The project must be done or flooding will result.
Enclosed is a drawing of the pumping system, copies of permits we received from the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers and the Department of Fish and Game, and a copy of our Notice of Exemption
for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The permits addressed the environmental
problems of the project. Basically, since it is an existing structure and the work done on the water
side of the levee is minimal,no permits were needed. Any work done involving the water side of
the levee will be done at low tide to minimize any potential flooding.
If you have any questions about the above, please do not hesitate to call me.
