Glorya Jean Tate Park Lift Station Project

The Glorya Jean Tate Park Lift Station Project, led by the Marina Coast Water District in Monterey County, California, involves the construction and operation of a new sanitary sewer lift station at the northern end of Glorya Jean Tate Park. The project is designed to improve wastewater conveyance and increase capacity to support planned population growth associated with the Marina Station Development. The scope of work includes the installation of a wet well, valve vault, electrical control panels, a mounted electrical pad transformer, and a backup generator with a sub-base fuel tank. Additionally, the project entails installing a new sanitary sewer force main across Drew Street, Abdy Way, Cardoza Avenue, Reservation Road, and Seaside Court, as well as replacing existing gravity sewers in Seaside Court and rerouting existing gas, water, and drainage infrastructure. The project is expected to be completed over an approximate eight-month construction period. It has undergone a comprehensive environmental review process in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, resulting in a Mitigated Negative Declaration approved on October 20, 2025. Key environmental safeguards include a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program to protect biological resources, such as nesting birds, and cultural resources. Technical requirements specify that the lift station must integrate with the district's SCADA system and that electrical installations in the wet well must comply with Class I Division I hazardous location standards. Ground-disturbing activities are subject to strict state laws regarding the discovery of human remains, requiring immediate notification to the Monterey County Sheriff's Office and the Marina Coast Water District.
