Provide assistance with obtaining USDA financing for project, prepare Preliminary Engineering Report, coordinate with the County of Sonoma for CEQA, and prepare US Fish and Wildlife Service habitat conservation plan for listed species.
Prepare construction documents for 100,000-gallon bolted steel water storage tank, retaining wall, and related site and electrical & controls improvements.
Provide assistance with bidding, contract award, conformance to USDA funding conditions, and construction administration.
Project Challenges
Location in a sensitive habitat necessitated environmental review from several jurisdictional agencies
The tank parcel is extremely small (approximately 10,000 sq. ft) and therefore required obtaining easements from the neighboring parcel.
USDA financing required conformance with conditions including development of special reports, compliance with NEPA, use of specific contract document formats, and use of American-made iron and steel products in construction.
Solutions and Successes
Habitat conservation plan for the listed red-legged frog earned the project necessary approvals from the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
Modern construction methods ensure a durable, long-lasting water storage facility.
