Construction on Cardiff State Beach, Manchester Avenue, and Coast Highway 101
Cardiff-by-the-Sea, November 29, 2017:
Construction work continues on the Land Outfall Replacement Project by the San Elijo Joint Powers Authority and general contractor, J.R. Filanc. The project includes the replacement of the existing land outfall pipeline that was installed in 1965 to transport treated wastewater from Encinitas, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, and Escondido to the San Elijo Ocean Outfall for disposal 1.5 miles offshore. The outfall system is considered critical regional infrastructure and is in operation 24 hours a day.
For November 29 through December 2, construction on Cardiff State Beach adjacent to Coast Highway 101 will involve the installation of a 60-inch diameter steel casing underneath Highway 101. The pipe will serve as a carrier casing for the new 30-inch diameter Land Outfall pipeline. Construction methods will focus on using means to reduce noise generation and minimize disturbance to local businesses and residents. Currently, the steel casing is approximately 70% installed.
Construction on Manchester Avenue near the San Elijo Lagoon Nature Center will require intermittent traffic impacts for underground roadway work. Traffic will be temporarily reduced to one lane and construction flagmen will be present to control traffic flow. Please drive slow in the cone zone.
On Monday, December 2, the contractor plans to demobilize the equipment used to install the steel casing and begin staging the horizontal directional drilling equipment to install the new Land Outfall pipe underneath Coast Highway 101 and the San Elijo Lagoon.
Directional drilling may begin as soon as December 6 with planned completion by December 30. During directional drilling operations, extended work hours will be required. Once drilling is complete, the contractor will tie-in the new pipeline to the existing ocean outfall. Due to the complexity of this project and other planned construction work within the lagoon, a compressed construction schedule has been implemented and this project is scheduled for completion by March 2018.
The San Elijo Joint Powers Authority is a local wastewater and recycled water agency serving the communities of Cardiff, Olivenhain, Solana Beach, Del Mar, and Rancho Santa Fe. This project will safeguard public health, protect the local environment, and preserve public recreation opportunities along the beaches of Encinitas, Cardiff, and Solana Beach. Thank you for your patience while we work to protect our community and coastline.
