Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Perimeter Improvements Initial Study -Mitigated Negative Declaration
| August 2025 | WWTP Perimeter Improvements Project |
|---|---|
| Project Location | Main WWTP (26900 Hwy 1) |
| Project Description | Carmel Area Wastewater District (CAWD) proposes to conduct rehabilitation of several areas of the wastewater treatment plant to maintain the facilities in good operating condition. The Proposed Project consists of the removal of up to 85 Eucalyptus trees at the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). These trees were planted in the 1980s to act as a visual screen between the WWTP and local residential areas but are no longer necessary for visual screening. CAWD proposes removal of Eucalyptus trees from the site to prevent damage to the staff and facilities from falling branches and debris. Most of the Eucalyptus trees to be removed have trunks partially within five (5) feet of either side of the existing perimeter fence alignment. The remainder of the trees to be removed or pruned are within the WWTP fence line. The Proposed Project would also replace approximately 2,400 linear feet of existing, dilapidated perimeter security fencing around the WWTP with a new eight (8)-foot chain link fence and install new pedestrian and vehicle access gates. |
