New landscaping, including trees, shrubs, rocks and boulders will be installed. Additionally, a new irrigation system will be installed. A minimum cover of 3-feet,4-inch sleeves,and a 6-inch trench will be used to install the new irrigation system,which will span approximately 5,000 feet along Pacheco Boulevard.In order to minimize damage to any nearby trees,any roots exposed during excavation will be cut cleanly and tree branches will be trimmed. No tree removal will be necessary.Utility relocations and real property transactions(including right-of-way transactions)may be necessary in support of this project. At least one lane of traffic will be open at all times during construction activities. The project is located in the Central Contra Costa County area near Pacheco.
