Lake Forest Zone 4 El Toro Tank I and 2 Rehabilitation

The Lake Forest Zone 4 El Toro Tank 1 and 2 Rehabilitation project, managed by the Irvine Ranch Water District, involves the restoration of two domestic water storage tanks located at 22251 Byron Way in Lake Forest, Orange County, California. The project is necessitated by the poor condition of the tanks resulting from various coating failures. The scope of work includes the removal and replacement of interior coatings, spot repairs and total overcoating of exterior walls, structural repairs, site repaving, and the replacement of piping and associated appurtenances. The project is classified under NAICS code 237310 and is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under Class 1, Section 15301, as it consists of the repair and maintenance of existing public utility facilities. There is no proposed expansion of the existing or former use of the tanks, and they will maintain their current operational capacity upon completion. Emily Le, Environmental Compliance Analyst, serves as the primary point of contact for the project.
