News Rele a Pump Station and River Crossing Project <br /> July 13, 19 4 <br /> Page 2 <br /> The excavation will cause some turbidity (clouding) of the water. Turbidity results <br /> when the s' t on the river bottom is disturbed during the trenching work. The entire process <br /> has been th roughly reviewed by the U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Oregon <br /> Division o State Lands (ODSL), and the Army Corps of Engineers. These agencies have <br /> issued per its to the City to ensure the project will not disturb fish or aquatic life. The <br /> ' contractor ust work within the guidelines outlined in the permits. The ODSL will monitor <br /> the project closely. <br /> Ac rding to Project Manager Doug Weber, similar installations have occurred in <br /> Eugene an other locations downstream using this technique, with excellent results. <br /> Phase II <br /> The second phase of construction will begin this September. It will continue through <br /> August 19 5 and will include construction of a new pump station and installation of new <br /> gravity se er pipes to connect the existing sewer lines to the new system. <br /> ~ Th new pump station will be built in Glenwood, just north of the Auto Brokers on <br /> Franklin B ulevard. It will replace the Judkins Point Pump Station, which is located near the <br /> Black Ang s Restaurant in Eugene. The Judkins Point Pump Station was built in the 1950s. <br /> <br /> ,j <br /> It is at its perational capacity, and, with only one pump and no back up, it is no longer <br /> reliable. a new pump station and sewer lines ultimately will supply the additional capacity <br /> needed to erve the Glenwood/Laural Hill area. <br /> Ne sewer lines will be installed to connect the system to the new pump station. One <br /> of the line will be constructed down the center of Franklin Boulevard. <br /> Summary <br /> W n completed, the pump station and lines will serve the Laurel Hill area and the <br /> commerci district south of I-5 within the Eugene city limits. The pump station will be built <br /> so that ad itional pumps can be added to serve the Glenwood area if citizens choose to <br /> connect to the system <br /> Fo information about the project, call Public Works Engineering at 687-5219. <br /> <br />
