A Special Permit for development within the Streamside Management Area. The HCSD proposes the construction of an approximately 1,600' sewer transmission line which would traverse a wetland and span 4 privately-held parcels identified as APNs 018-281-003, 018-291-005, 019-031-002 and -003. The project will involve installing approximately 1,050 linear feet of 6-inch diameter pipe in a trench and the remaining 550 linear feet will consist of 8-inch diameter fused pipe installed by horizontal drilling under the slough channel. The proposal also includes a 10' wide temporary easement and 2 temporary staging areas (APNs 019-071-003 and 018-271-004) for use during construction. The proposed new line is part of the Martin Slough Interceptor (MSI) project and would run between the existing Sea Avenue lift station easterly to the newly installed Martin Slough Interceptor project "2.0 Line" force main. The proposed project would modify the route the wastewater follows on its way to City of Eureka's wastewater treatment facility and would eliminate 3 major and 3 minor City and 10 minor HCSD lift stations. The proposed project would also reduce the incidences of sewer overflows in the Martin Slough watershed, thereby avoiding reductions in water quality in the aquatic environment. The proposed project also includes a General Plan Conformance (GPC) and zoning review of the proposed acquisition by HCSD of a permanent 20 foot wide easement for construction and maintenance of the line. There is no public hearing requirement for GPC or zoning right of way review, however this information is included in order for the Planning Commission to make a decision on the whole of this project...
