(Attachment A) This Project involves replacing the force-main pipeline between the Santa Ana Lift Sta­ tion #1 and manhole H-21 -54. The pipeline to be replaced is approximately 1,600 feet­ long. There are some oak trees along the Project site that will potentially be affected by the construction. The Draft MND identifies measures to be incorporated into the Project to minimize and offset removal of protected trees. Also attached for your review is Sheet 3 of the design which identifies all of the trees in the Project area and the anticipated affect the Project will have on each tree. I have provided pictures of mature oak trees that have been located at area nurseries and would be available as replacement should any of the existing trees need to be removed. (Attachment B) If you have any questions or need additional information please call me at 646-5548.

OVSD collects and transports wastewater for treatment at the Ojai Valley Wastewater Treatment Plant and disposes of effluent and sludge. One of OVSD's sewer lift stations (Santa Ana Lift Station #1) is located on the south side of Santa Ana Blvd, approximately 600 feet west of the Riverside Road intersection. The Lift Station collects wastewater from residents on the west side of the Ventura River and pumps it across the river to manhole H-21-54. The force-main pipeline between the Lift Station and manhole H-21-54 is approximately 2,550 feet-long and 10 inches in diameter. The Lift Station was upgraded in 1997. The force-main pipeline was installed in the 1960s, and then repaired/reinstalled after a flood in 1969. The terminal 1,490 foot-long segment of the force-main pipeline along the east bank of the Ventura River as well as manhole H-21-54 is in poor condition and in need of replacement. The project involves replacing manhole H-21-54 and the terminal segment of the force­ main pipeline between the Lift Station and manhole H-21-54. The replacement pipeline alignment would parallel the existing pipeline, mostly within 20 feet. However, the southern terminus would turn east prior to the existing alignment, and parallel the Ojai Valley Trail for approximately 120 feet and terminate at replacement manhole H-21-54. The pipeline alignment was selected to minimize removal of protected trees. The pipeline diameter would be increased from 10 to 12 inches. The new pipeline would be composed of ductile
