MCSD Watermain Mad River Crossing Retrofit Project - Geotechnical Investigation

The McKinleyville Community Services District is seeking a geotechnical investigation for the MCSD Watermain Mad River Crossing Retrofit Project to collect data necessary for designing a new water pipeline to replace an aging system under the Mad River. The scope of work involves two geotechnical borings on the dry river bar, with drilling depths ranging from 50 to 60 feet and borehole diameters not exceeding 8 inches. To reach the northern river bar, the drilling rig will be required to travel through the wetted channel twice. The project is located at 5115 Boyd Rd, Arcata, California, and is scheduled to be conducted over several days between August 1 and September 15. The project is classified under NAICS code 541360 and is exempt under CEQA Section 15306 for Information Collection due to minimal environmental disturbance. All activities must adhere to avoidance and minimization measures proposed by the MCSD and comply with state agency permits from the CDFW and NCRWQCB. The primary point of contact for the project is General Manager Patrick Kaspari.
