Planning/Design/Engineering/Environmental Documentation. Task 3: Assessment and Evaluation 1. In 2004 USGS completed an “Evaluation of Geohydrologic Framework, Recharge Estimates, and Ground-Water Flow of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Tree Area.” The geohydrology was refined by collecting and interpreting water-level and water-quality data, geologic and electric logs, and gravity data. Major findings were that the ground-water subbasins are as deep as 4,500 feet east of the center of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Tree, and 2,000 feet beneath Coyote Lake. Water-bearing deposits were divided into three aquifers. The characteristics of each were identified. Ground-water withdrawals have resulted in as much as 35 feet of drawdown in the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Tree subbasin. The study further identified water quality characteristics and estimated that there is very little, if any, net natural ground water recharge. As part of the study, a ground-water flow model was developed. The model estimates 123 acre-feet per year of streamflow infiltration and 84 acre feet per year of underflow across the Yucca Barrier from the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ground-water model. It also indicates that an average of about 200 acre feet per year leaves the basin. 2. Based on the USGS study above, ▇▇▇▇▇ Engineering conducted a ground water availability evaluation to simulate the effects of future pumping. Various growth scenarios were determined. The study also included simulating septic leachate migration to the groundwater table to estimate when recharge from septic systems will likely impact ground water. 3. During the past five years USGS has conducted extensive studies to evaluate the potential recharge sites and to determine effect of septic discharge on the aquifer. Several sites were evaluated to identify the preferred site. Two ▇▇▇▇▇ were constructed at the preferred site of the recharge pond to confirm that there were no strata that would inhibit artificial recharge; and to estimate the rate of infiltration. In a different location two ▇▇▇▇▇ were drilled to study the impacts of septic discharge on the aquifer. With the data from these two ▇▇▇▇▇ an unsaturated zone flow and transport model has been developed to allow a detailed, local-scale investigation of the effects of land use, and subsequent septic load on ground water quality on the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Tree groundwater subbasin. The data have been collected and the model has been implemented. The USGS report is now being written and is expected to be available in the spring of 2013.

Planning/Design/Engineering/Environmental Documentation. The design of project facilities is planned to be completed in concurrent efforts for each of the major engineering components: collection system, treatment system, and disposal/reuse system. Although design will occur concurrently, the design packages will be completed at different times, allowing construction to begin in phases as designs are completed. Each of these designs will be according to civil and mechanical engineering industry best practices with national standards used for materials, piping, equipment, and general construction specifications. Construction documents and contracts will include Section 7 Caltrans State Standard Specifications and the requirements of the State labor code for Public Works projects in accordance with the Labor Compliance Plan.

Related to Planning/Design/Engineering/Environmental Documentation

  • ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION Each environmental service provided by the Engineer shall have a deliverable. Deliverables shall summarize the methods used for the environmental services and shall summarize the results achieved. The summary of results shall be sufficiently detailed to provide satisfactory basis for thorough review by the State, the County, The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and (where applicable) agencies with regulatory oversight. All deliverables shall meet regulatory requirements for legal sufficiency and shall adhere to the requirements for reports enumerated in the State’s NEPA MOU. a. Quality Assurance/Quality Control Review The Engineer shall perform quality assurance quality control (QA/QC) reviews of environmental documents and on other supporting environmental documentation to determine whether documents conform with: 1. Current Environmental Compliance Toolkit guidance published by the State’s Environmental Affairs Division and in effect as of the date of receipt of the documents or documentation to be reviewed; 2. Current state and federal laws, regulations, policies, guidance, agreements, and memoranda of understanding between the State and other state or federal agencies; and 3. FHWA and American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) guidelines contained in “Improving the Quality of Environmental Documents, A Report of the Joint AASHTO and American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) Committee in Cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration” (May 2006) for: i. Readability, and ii. Use of evidence and data in documents to support conclusions. Upon request by the State or the County, the Engineer shall provide documentation that the QA/QC reviews were performed by qualified staff. a. Deliverables shall contain all data acquired during the environmental service. All deliverables shall be written to be understood by the public and must be in accordance with the State’s Environmental Toolkit guidance, documentation standards, current guidelines, policies and procedures. b. Electronic versions of each deliverable must be written in software which is compatible to the State and must be provided in a changeable format for future use by the County. The Engineer shall supplement all hard copy deliverables with electronic copies in searchable Adobe Acrobat™ (.pdf) format, unless another format is specified. Each deliverable shall be a single, searchable .pdf file that mirrors the layout and appearance of the physical deliverable. The Engineer shall deliver the electronic files on CD-R, CD-RW media in Microsoft Windows format, or through the ftp site.

  • Design Development Documents See Section 2, Part 1, Article 2.1.5.

  • Project Documentation All documentation provided to the City other than Project drawings shall be furnished on a Microsoft compatible compact disc.

  • Technical Documentation Prior to commencement of the Tests on Completion, the Contractor shall supply to the Engineer the technical documentation as specified in the Employer’s Requirements. The Works or Section shall not be considered to be completed for the purposes of taking- over under sub-clause 10.1 [Taking Over of the Works and Sections] until the Engineer has received the technical documentation as defined in this sub-clause 5.7, the "history file" including design calculations and certain certification as well as any other documents required to meet the CE Marking requirements.

  • Reverse Engineering The Customer must not reverse assemble or reverse compile or directly or indirectly allow or cause a third party to reverse assemble or reverse compile the whole or any part of the software or any products supplied as a part of the Licensed System.
