Continued Excavation of Ocean Outfall & Bypass System Design

Cardiff-by-the-Sea, CA, March 09, 2018

Construction work continues on the Land Outfall Replacement Project by the San Elijo Joint Powers Authority and general contractor, J.R. Filanc. Project information can be found at www.sejpa.blogspot.com and www.sejpa.org.

Here are the key updates on our progress:

• The contractor exposed the existing ocean outfall pipe connection and gathered measurements for the design of the bypass system that will connect to the new land outfall pipeline.

• Over the next few weeks, the custom bypass system will be fabricated and installed.

• A 5th & 6th dewatering well were installed at the beach work pad to remove groundwater from the excavation site. This water is tested and clean as mentioned in detail in a previous post.

• Excavation is continuing at the water reclamation facility on Manchester Avenue in order to connect the east end of the new outfall pipeline to the City of Escondido and SEJPA water infrastructure.

• Next week the contractor will begin excavation and installation of a 10-inch pressure relief line for the City of Escondido pipeline.

Ongoing trenching work in Manchester Avenue is expected through April 2018 and may temporarily impact access to the San Elijo Nature Center.  Every effort is being made to reduce any inconvenience to the community.

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.
