APPENDIX B
PRELIMINARY PIPELINE ALIGNMENT
AND PROFILE
SRT has visited the site of the equalization basin and walked the alignment from the two
diversion structures to the Skatepark parking lot to familiarize ourselves with the topography and
neighborhoods. Construction impacts, traffic control, and reconstruction of areas that will be
disturbed by this project were considered during these visits. The following figures present our
initial concepts for the pipeline alignments and associated profiles which will establish the inlet
invert elevation at the equalization basin. Attached also is a conceptual sketch of how the diversion
structure might be configured.
