DELTA HABITAT CONSERVATION AND CONVEYANCE PROGRAM: 'THE PIPELINE/TUNNEL OPTION'

摘要

The Delta Habitat Conservation and Conveyance Program (DHCCP) “Pipeline/rnTunnel Option” is one of the conveyance concepts by the Department of WaterrnResources (DWR) that is being considered in the environmental review of the BayrnDelta Conservation Plan. This conveyance would bring water from the Sacramentornand San Joaquin Rivers to the State and Federal pumping plants in the south Delta.rnThe proposed project alignment is 43 miles long and would convey a maximum ofrn15,000 cfs. The project includes intakes, pumping stations, forebays, sedimentationrnbasins and tunnels. The main tunnels are 37 miles of twin 33-foot ID and are anticipatedrnto be constructed in variable soils at depths below 120 feet. This paper describesrnthe DHCCP “Pipeline/Tunnel Option.”
