Arden Pump Station Wet Well Rehabilitation Project

Regional San is rehabilitating the Arden Pump Station Wet Well. The project includes replacement of equipment associated with the existing flushing station on Chicken Ranch Slough, construction of a temporary concrete pad to support a temporary bypass pump for wastewater, and other temporary impacts in an adjacent stormwater basin. The slough and the stormwater basin have a direct hydrologic connection with the Lower American River. Ascent conducted an aquatic resources delineation and prepared the delineation report for submittal to USACE. We coordinated with the Sacramento County Office of Planning and Environmental Review on development of the draft Initial Study to ensure consistency between the CEQA document and the permitting strategy. Our team led preparation of environmental permit applications, including Section 404 Nationwide Permit, Section 401 Water Quality Certification, and Section 1602 Lake and Streambed Alteration Notification, and prepared a seed mix plan for post-construction restoration of the site consistent with permit conditions.
