Section 14036 of the Government Code requires the Department to produce a five-year Rail Passenger Development Plan every other year.

The Report examines passenger rail transportation in California. The Report reviews the current operations of State-supported intercity rail passenger service and outlines the Department's ten-year plan for intercity service for the period 1993/94 through 2002/03 for capital improvements and service expansions. Also, for the first time the State's rail report includes a summary of current operations and expansion programs for all forms of passenger rail: intercity, commuter and urban. Chapter V - The State Intercity Rail Capital Program displays a ten-year program of capital improvement projects to upgrade and expand the three State-supported intercity routes. The program totals $1.2 billion, of which 77 percent has identified funding sources.

  • This Is a Trip I've Toyed with Taking for at Least a Decade. I've Planned
    This is a trip I’ve toyed with taking for at least a decade. I’ve planned different variations on it, sometimes considering travel by myself and sometimes with my late sister Margaret. This summer was the time it would finally happen. I’d be making a series of hops on Amtrak’s California Zephyr train, stopping in Salt Lake City, Sacramento, Glenwood Springs, and Denver—with time in each to explore the area and make a few side trips. Most of the things I’d see would not be the main tourist sights, but I was still looking forward to the trip immensely. I’m writing this installment while heading west across southern Iowa on the train. Today has already been a long day, so I’m going to see if I can sum things up a bit before I start to forget things. As I do pretty much every Sunday, I read at church this morning. Today’s was an unusual service, because we were serenaded by the Cornbelt Chorus barbershop group. They sang three gospel songs and did a very nice job with them. Unfortunately it was a bit embarrassing that there were nearly as many people singing as there were watching. There were fourteen barbershoppers, plus a photographer, and we had just nineteen in church this morning. That’s the lowest we’ve had in quite a while, and I’m not sure why attendance was so bad. Aside from the music, the most memorable part of the service was what would have been the children’s sermon if any children had actually been present.

  • Environmental Assessment for Applegate Wastewater Treatment Plant Closure and Pipeline Project
    Applegate Regional Sewer Pipeline Project Environmental Information Document P REPARED BY: Placer County Department of Facility Services 11476 C Avenue Auburn, CA 95603 Contact: Christina Hanson 530.886.4900 W ITH T ECHNICAL A SSISTANCE FROM: ICF International 615 SW Alder Street, Suite 200 Portland, OR 97205 Contact: Kim Marcotte 503.525.6155 November 2011 Placer County Department of Facility Services. 2011. Environmental Impact Document for the Applegate Regional Sewer Pipeline Project. November. (ICF 00201.08.) Prepared with technical assistance from ICF International, Portland, OR. Executive Summary Introduction Applegate is a community in Placer County (County) located approximately 9 miles northeast of the city of Auburn along Interstate 80 (I-80) (Figure ES-1). The County provides public sewerage to the portion of Applegate that falls within the County Service Area. The existing sewer collection system currently provides service to approximately 54 equivalent dwelling units (EDUs) (37 active and 17 inactive). The active EDUs consist of 23 single-family homes, and five commercial connections, including a church, a firehouse/civic center, offices, one motel, and the library. Constructed in 1974, the Applegate Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) consists of three evaporation and percolation ponds, each approximately 1 acre in size and about 6 feet deep (Figure ES-2), designed to operate in series. A chlorination system was later added to disinfect partially treated effluent flowing from Pond 2 to Pond 3 in anticipation of annual discharges from Pond 3 to Clipper Creek. The pond treatment and disposal system design capacity is inadequate for the current hydraulic loading. To further compound the hydraulic capacity issue, there is groundwater inflow to Pond 3.
