Stonebrook Basin Drainage Improvements

The Stonebrook Basin Drainage Improvements project, managed by the Santa Barbara County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, involves minor modifications to an existing stormwater detention facility and open space park located near California Boulevard and Old Mill Lane in Orcutt, California. The primary objective of this project is to enhance drainage efficiency and mitigate damp surface conditions on the eastern portion of the property. The scope of work includes re-contouring and grading the basin bottom to facilitate the movement of stormwater and urban seepage around the perimeter, regrading surface sediment, installing new concrete inlet and outlet structures, and laying an underground pipe to connect to the existing drainage system. To ensure soil stability and the re-establishment of turf, the project also requires re-seeding the area. This project is classified as a minor alteration of existing facilities and does not expand the boundaries or change the intended use of the Stonebrook Basin. Under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the project has received a Notice of Exemption based on its status as an improvement to an existing facility with negligible or no expansion of use. While the specific contract value, period of performance, and detailed pricing schedules are not provided in the current documentation, the project is being overseen by the Santa Barbara County Flood Control District, with Andrew Raaf serving as the primary environmental contact. The project is categorized under NAICS code 237990, pertaining to other heavy and civil engineering works.
