S38 Lateral Upgrade Project

The S38 Lateral Upgrade Project, managed by the Arvin-Edison Water Storage District, involves water facility upgrades at two existing pump station sites in Kern County, California. The project is classified as a forecast under NAICS code 237110 and is designated as categorically exempt under Section 15301, as it consists of the repair, maintenance, and minor alteration of existing public water services facilities with negligible expansion. Samuel Blue, P.E., serves as the primary point of contact and Resource Manager for the project. Construction activities at the S38-P1 site, located northeast of N Rancho Drive and Teale Road, include replacing a pump and electric motor, upgrading discharge pipes, valves, and site electrical systems, and constructing a new gravity flow outlet, canal gate, short pipeline, and pipeline tie-in. At the S38-P2 site, located southeast of N Rancho Drive and Sweet Cherry Lane, the scope includes the installation of a new pump, electric motor, discharge pipe, and valves, along with site electrical upgrades.
