PHOENIX (AP) Phoenixsmayor says a transportation planthat will include a sales tax increasehas triumphed at the polls.Mayor Greg Stanton, who

was running for re-election,claimed victory for Proposition104 after early results from Aug.25 voting were released, accord-ing to a report in the ArizonaRepublic. Stanton called the infrastruc-

ture investment a historicmoment for Phoenix, and hedeclared it was a great night forthe future of the city. In the results, about 55 percent

(or 52,300) voted yes to the pro-posed increase, while about 45percent (or 43,500) voted no. The transportation plan

increases a transit sales tax that

would be used to expand thecitys light rail line and bus serv-ice, repair and build roadwaysand create bike lanes. The $31billion plan would be funded bythe proposed transit sales taxincrease, passenger fares andfederal and county funds. The transit sales tax is now

0.40 percent and would be raisedto 0.70. It would mean a 30 centincrease on a $100 purchase.Transactions of more than$10,000 would be exempt. The current light-rail system

runs from Mesa to centralPhoenix, and plans call for anexpansion across the metro area.

Launched last spring inChicago, the Born to Build cam-paign initiated by ChicagosOzinga Bros. Inc., plans arealready in the works to initiate asecond phase of the advertisingcampaign. Partnered with creativeagency Cultivate Studios, the goalof the campaign is to honor andcelebrate the American construc-tion worker and those in construc-tion-related trades.Ozinga Bros., a fourth-genera-

tion family-owned business found-ed in 1928 on the south side ofChicago, a ready mix concrete pro-ducer and supplier, is currently runby five brothers and a cousin. Thefamily is covering the cost of thecampaign and is pleased with theresults.Its a significant investment

and the message has been receivedwell and is spreading, said TimOzinga, co-owner and the firmsmarketing communications direc-tor, and we have a lot of peoplethat we are talking to that are inter-ested in participating with us in thenext campaign. I was most sur-prised by the reaction onFacebook. We posted the cam-paign commercial on there, withsome supporting promotion, andthe video has been viewed over240,000 times and it was sharedand liked by thousands.There are also a ton of com-

ments from trades people acrossthe country affirming the mes-sage, he added. They felt like thecampaign spoke to them directlyand clearly there was an outpour-ing of pride, ownership, andexcitement that somebody wasfinally telling their story.The family had taken a close

look at the construction industry asa whole and noticed that the tradeprofession is commonly over-looked, discounted, and generallyunder-appreciated, said TomDonda, an associate of Motion PR.Through the campaign, Ozingaalso aims to redefine what it meansto be in construction by encourag-ing construction workers to get therespect and recognition theydeserve. These individuals makeup the very foundation of theindustry they work hard,demonstrate perseverance and aresingular individuals that have spe-cialized knowledge and experi-ence.This a three-phase campaign:

billboards placed in 16 locationsthroughout Chicagoland, northernIndiana and south Wisconsin in thespring until mid-summer; a 60-sec-ond ad placed on television sta-tions throughout the area fromMarch through May, as well asradio ads; and an ongoing socialmedia outreach on Facebook andother venues. Marty Ozinga IV, the president

of the company conceived of theidea for the campaign in 2013 and

Tim Ozinga immediately got onboard.It was something that we gen-

uinely felt and it made a lot ofsense to head in this direction,said Tim Ozinga, and since 2008,when the recession started, theconstruction industry and thetrades were hit hard. There was alot of uncertainty about the futureof the industry, but the constructionworkers and the trades stuck it outand were on the move again. Thecampaign is a rallying cry to saywe realize the hard work that youdo and the tough times experi-enced by all, and were excitednow that we can see the end of thetunnel.But its deeper than that, he

added. Often times they areunder-estimated or people thinkthat being in a trade or constructionis somehow less of a vocation thansome other alternatives and wereally wanted to challenge that andstress that these are indispensablepeople that we need in order tobuild communities and country.These are the people who build theroads and bridges we use daily, thehomes and the buildings that welive and work in and the placeswhere we go to shop and play. A lotof people take it for granted theamount of hard work that goes intomak-ing this lifestyle possible.The commercial was produced

with the support of local generalcontractors footage taken at con-struction sites operated by Walsh

Construction and AlpineDemolition Services and with co-operation of local tradespeople atSuperior Furniture Repair andBuilders Ironworks who consent-ed to be filmed.There are a few other videos

that came out of that some shortvignette pieces, said Tim Ozinga.Weve been contacted by sometrade locals and unions that reallyappreciate the mes-sage. Werecontinuing the dialogue with themand sharing ideas.Marty and Tim Ozinga

approached Cultivate in earlyspring 2014. Working with them over the

last 10 years, said Chris Pierik,Creative Director at CultivateStudios, we have known Ozingato be big supporters of their work-ers and advocates for the Americanworker in general. It made perfectsense to us that they would want tocelebrate tradespeople. Theyreceived the Top 100 Workplaces,2014 award from the ChicagoTribune, so this initiative alignsperfectly with who Ozinga is.Using Martys idea to cele-

brate the construction worker, hecontinued, we set out to craft amessage that was true to the senti-ment of tradespeople who have adeep attachment to their work. Thebeginning of the video script talksabout a stigma that exists abouttradespeople, the middle of thescript paints the picture as to howtradespeople defy the stigma and

the end of the script is a sort of ral-lying cry to tradespeople to contin-ue building our communities andcountry and overcoming the odds.It was important to feature realtradespeople to be authentic to whothey are and we used handheldcamera movements to put theviewer in the scene with the work-ers.To craft the billboards, Cultivate

photographed tradespeople usingdramatic lighting and pose thatwould celebrate him/her as a hero. By pairing the campaign mes-

sage You Were Born To Buildwith the photograph, said Pierik,we were able to convey thatOzinga understands the besttradespeople dont get there byaccident and that they understand itto be their destiny or a sort of call-ing. They work hard to makesomething of themselves and sup-port their families, while also hav-ing an impact on our communitiesand our country. They are oureveryday heroes who deserve to becelebrated.The upcoming phase of the

campaign, expected to be launchednext spring, has Ozinga Bros.bringing in new partners and addi-tional resources. A key element ofit will be finding a way to maintainthe drive and imagination that chil-dren have when they are youngabout constructing and creatingbuildings and objects, when theyplay with Lego building blocks,

Launched last spring in Chicago, the Born to Build campaign initiated by Chicagos Ozinga Bros. Inc., plans are already in the works to initiate a second phase of theadvertising campaign. Partnered with creative agency Cultivate Studios, the goal of the campaign is to honor and celebrate the American construction worker and thosein construction-related trades.

ODOT Plans Repairs for Highway 101By Christian WihtolTHE REGISTER-GUARD

FLORENCE, Ore. (AP) A 17-mi.(27 km) stretch of Highway 101 northof Florence is in such bad shape thestate plans to undertake a major rebuildthat will cost nearly $10 million. The pavement is deeply cracked in

many places, plus in spots the subsur-face gravel base is likely eroded,requiring excavation and completerebuild in those locations, said RickLittle, a spokesman of the OregonDepartment of Transportation. ODOT rates the condition of the

entire stretch as poor. As part of the work, the project will

widen curves along the stretch, Littlesaid. That will involve excavating thecurves, laying in new gravel and thenlaying on pavement, he said. The work began in August and will

be carried out this summer and next,causing traffic delays of up to 20 min-utes. Traffic will be restricted to a sin-gle lane, and be controlled by flaggersand pilot cars. Little said modern trucks and RVs

are too long for the narrow, winding

highway, so on curves the vehiclestrack onto the shoulders. This highway was designed back in

the 1930s, if not before. This is an oldhighway. The geometry of those curvesin a lot of cases is not suitable for mod-ern-length cargo loads, he said. The widened curves with new, wider

shoulders and better sight lines shouldhelp not only cars and trucks, but alsobicyclists, Little said. ODOT is eager to get the work done.

To try to extend the roadways life, thestate several years ago put temporaryasphalt paving over the wheel ruts thatwere worn into the road along thatstretch, Little said. The state is doing the repair work in

two phases. This year, the work willextend from Sutton Lake just north ofFlorence to the vicinity of the Sea LionCaves. Next summer, crews will complete

the rest of the stretch, up to just south ofYachats. Centerline rumble strips will be

installed throughout the 17-mi. lengthto reduce the chance of crossover acci-dents. Single-lane restrictions will occur

during daytime and nighttime construc-tion, and may occur on weekends. Rocky Mountain Construction LLC

of Klamath Falls was awarded the low-bid contract of $9.6 million. Next year, also, an as-yet-unselected

contractor will carry out roughly $3million in repair work to the long, lowhistoric retaining wall that runs on thewest side of Highway 101 north of theSea Lion Caves. The wall was built in 1931 under the

federal Works Progress Administration.Over time, the wall has lost its structur-al integrity in several places and doesnot meet current standards as a safetybarrier or retaining wall, ODOT said. The project will rebuild most sec-

tions of the wall with rock; other sec-tions will be rebuilt of concrete withrock facing. The work will add shoul-der width next to the wall, and also addinterpretive signing, the agency said. ODOT is refining details of the proj-

ect before putting it out to bid, Littlesaid

PHOENIX (AP) Crews knocked down thefirst of hundreds of Phoenix homes slated fordemolition Aug. 27, marking the beginningof a long-planned freeway development.A bulldozer hired by the Arizona

Department of Transportation tore through avacant house in the suburb of Ahwatukee,reducing the single-family home with aSpanish tiled roof to a pile of brown andwhite rubble. ADOT spokesman Timothy Tait said it

will take several months to raze the nearly200 properties in the construction path of thenew Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway. According to Tait, crews will spend two

days of work on each house. They need tonot only demolish it, but clear out the foun-dation, landscaping and swimming poolsand lay down granite gravel. Workers spentAug. 27 salvaging some materials from theproperties. ADOT has spent the last 20 years acquir-

ing the properties which include homes,businesses and industrial sites ahead ofconstruction that will start next year. Theproject led to several homeowners balking atthe idea of having to move. The state is still

encountering resistance from some whoinsist they wont move. Tait said their reac-tion is a normal part of the process and thatADOT is in negotiations with these home-owners. One of those homeowners is Kenny

Edwards, whose current home is 100 yardsfrom where the first house came down.Edwards said he will continue fightingagainst the freeway construction but isresigned to the fact that he and his familywill be moving. Several neighboring homesare already vacant, Edwards said. You know a month or two ago, there was

a family that you knew that lived there. Itspretty disconcerting, Edwards said. It makesyou realize you dont really own the home. Edwards said his family will relocate to a

house from a list of options offered byADOT. But so far, he said, none of thehomes compare to the one he is giving up. The Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway is

the final piece left in the Loop 202 system link-ing Phoenix suburbs in the west and east. Itwill consist of four lanes in each direction. The$1.8 billion project is expected to take fouryears and will start sometime in mid-2016.

Homes Razed for Loop 202

By Ellen KnickmeyerASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) State con-tractors have readied plans to acquire asmany as 300 farms in the Californiadelta by eminent domain to make roomfor a pair of massive, still-unapprovedwater tunnels proposed by Gov. JerryBrown, according to documentsobtained by opponents of the tunnels. Farmers whose parcels were listed

and mapped in the 160-page property-acquisition plan expressed dismay atthe advanced planning for the project,which would build 30-mi.-long tunnelsin the delta formed by the San Joaquinand Sacramento rivers. What really shocks is were fighting

this and were hoping to win, saidRichard Elliot, who grows cherries,pears and other crops on delta land

farmed by his family since the 1860s.To find out theyre sitting in a roomfiguring out this eminent domain makesit sound like theyre going to bully us ...and take what they want. Officials involved in the project

defended planning so far ahead regard-ing the tunnels. Planning for right-of-way needs,

that is the key part of your normal plan-ning process, said Roger Patterson,assistant general manager of theMetropolitan Water District ofSouthern California, one of the wateragencies that would benefit from thetwin tunnels. The district serves 17 million people

in Southern California as well as largefarms and businesses. Browns administration said re-engi-

neering water flows of the delta thelargest estuary on the West Coast is

essential to undoing mistakes of pastwater projects and to supplying water toSouthern California. Brown has pushed for a massive

delta makeover since his first stint asgovernor in the 1970s and 1980s. InMay, he told critics of the tunnels toshut up. Opponents say the tunnels would

jeopardize delta farming and destroyvital wildlife habitat. If these reports are correct, then we

have further confirmation that the tun-nels project has been a forgone conclu-sion, state Sen. Lois Wolk, D-Davis,who chairs a committee on the delta,said in an email. The environmental review, which

should be used to choose a project, issimply being used to justify the favoredproject, she wrote.

Cajon Pass Project Coming to EndCoffman Specialties Inc.

in San Diego, a female-owned business specializingin large construction projectsand Parsons Corp. inPasadena, providing engi-neering, construction, techni-cal and management servicesare design-build partners onthe project. Caltrans is the lead agency

for the $120 million project,and reported that the design-build process has reduced thetimeline by three years.That's important, because I-15is the main route fromSouthern California to Las

Vegas. Commuters use it totravel from the high desert toreach jobs in Riverside andSan Bernardino and truck

traffic tends to be heavy alongthe route through the pass.The builders made sure

traffic could continue rolling

during construction by usingcrossover lanes, which allowone or two lanes of I-15 traf-fic to be shifted to lanes onthe opposite side of the free-way. This required some spe-cialty equipment, including aZipper, which is a wheeledmachine that quicklychanges barriers and createscrossover lanes so anotherlane can be closed down.Motorists, excluding freight-hauling trucks, use thecrossover lanes while con-struction takes place on sev-eral of the freeway lanes totheir right.

Spider Provides Floating Platformfor California Bridge MaintenanceSpider, a division of SafeWorks

LLC, provided the suspended scaffold-ing solution for maintenance on awooden suspension bridge that spansthe south fork of the American River inPlacerville, Calif.The seventy-five year old Mosquito

Bridge is just nine ft. (2.74 m) wide and140 ft. (42.67 m) long, but is crossed by1,300 vehicles daily. The El DoradoCounty transportation bridge crew hasbeen using Spider equipment for annu-al maintenance projects for severalyears. This summer, they turned toSpider for the replacement of the mainwooden support beams that rangedfrom 500 to 800 lbs (226.7 to 362.8 kg)each and up to 18 ft. (5.48 m) in length.Spider provided a 20-ft. (6.09 m)

wide by 24-ft. (7.31 m) long NextGenfloat platform, equipped with four dou-ble-lined SC1000 air hoists that yieldeda total platform load rating of 8,000 lbs.(3628.73 kg). This allowed sufficientspace and capacity for two workers tosimultaneously dismantle an old beambelow the bridge and install a newbeam. Due to the narrow roadways and

rugged terrain, the platform was assem-bled off site and rigged into place witha crane. Spiders team provided onsitetraining to enable the crew to safelyand efficiently operate and repositionthe platform.Additionally, Spider provided two

material hoist line kits with SC1000traction hoists to transport the heavybeams.This summers maintenance proj-

ect on the Mosquito Bridge requiredmore than just the standard Spider plat-form we typically use, said GinoKlare, bridge maintenance supervisorof the county of El Dorado. Spiderunderstood our needs and designed acustom platform that would work forus.For more information call 877/774-

Due to the narrow roadways and rugged terrain, the platform wasassembled off site and rigged into place with a crane. Spiders team pro-vided onsite training to enable the crew to safely and efficiently operateand reposition the platform.

California has 72 Officially Designated Scenic Highways,but only one has been named the Ultimate Highway Trip,by Sunset Magazine this June: Highway 1.The curvy, two-lane Pacific Coast Highway hugs the

western edge of where the ocean laps into California, some-times just feet from the highway or below breathtaking cliffs.Since it was built, people have ventured along the coastalroute to take in majestic sunsets, walk along trails, enjoybeaches and waterfalls, watch whales migrate, and more.

Highway 1 has historical significance for California. In1912, it was the first highway we awarded a contract to buildand in 1937 it was the first north-south state route complet-ed. said Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty. It alsooffers sights you just wont find anywhere else.Sunset Magazine reported that of the 150 National Scenic

Byways and All-American Roads across the United States,none have the wind-in-your-hair charisma of Highway 1.The magazines editorial board selected Californias

Highway 1 for its first 2015 Western Icon Travel Award. Themagazine is a guide to living in the West and the first-timeawards honor the Wests top destinations in lodging, dining,cultural tourism, outdoor adventure, environmental steward-ship and more. Highway 1 is featured in the June print andonline editions, reaching more than 6 million viewers.The most famous segment of Highway 1 passes through

Big Sur along the Central Coast. The Pacific Coast Highwaystarts at Dana Point in Orange County and hugs the coastlineup through Southern California beaches, hidden CentralCoast coves, the bustling city of San Francisco and tunnelsthrough the once-treacherous Devils Slide.While thousands of motorists partake in the experience,

many of its travelers are bicyclists riding along a longer routealong the Pacific Coast Bike Route from Canada toCalifornias southernmost beach.

Caltrans Says Cajon PassProject Nearing CompletionTo keep traffic moving

during construction, Caltransis using a southboundcrossover or bypass laneapproximately 1.5 mi. (3.9km) north of Highway 138 toabout 2 mi. (5.1 km) south ofCleghorn Road. Thecrossover lane will be inplace until Sept. 30.The project includes

replacement of concrete slabsin the Cajon Pass that arebeyond their life cycle. It cov-ers 50-lane mi. (80.5 km) ona stretch of freeway betweenKenwood Ave. on the southand the southern reaches ofthe city of Hesperia on thenorth. New concrete for thefreeway is being cured to ensure the hydra-tion of cement in the concrete.Paving equals 81.5 football fields at a

thickness of nearly 14 in. (35.5 cm). Workersalso are making improvements to 13 on- andoff-ramps.At press time crews were paving two out-

side lanes of southbound I-15 from south ofHighway 138 to north of Kenwood Avenue.Workers used Portland cement concrete forthe freeway lanes and asphalt for some of theshoulders and ramps. A 34-ft.-wide paver isbeing used to cover more roadway in lesstime.Mitch Gamache, construction manager of

Coffman Specialties Inc., said constructioncrews will have moved 200,000 cu. yds.(152,910 cu m) of dirt. Approximately350,000 yds. (320,040 m) of concrete will bereplaced. Plenty of material including con-crete, rocks and dirt were available to berecycled, Gamache said.Caltrans reported that construction crews

continue day and nighttime work for thesouthbound lane and shoulder reconstruction.Crews continue to remove con-crete and grade in preparationfor paving.Workers have conducted

nighttime lane closures to per-mit work while the freeway isless busy. No detour has beennecessary, as other northboundand southbound lanes remainopen to traffic. Gamache saidthe only negative with the proj-ect so far has been delays incommutes. He said the contrac-tors used software to determinetraffic volumes at different

times. Although traffic slowed considerablyat times, commuters have been patient. Gamache said the design-build system

improved job scheduling and vehicle mobili-ty throughout the job. The new pavement willhave a life of more than 50 years, accordingto Gamache. Goals are to improve safety andmobility while making sure the project isenvironmentally sound.Gamache praised the working relationship

between Coffman-Parsons joint venture andCaltrans. It has truly been a team effort andthe cornerstone of the projects success, hesaid. Along with the main contractors, numer-

ous sub-contractors are busy lending theirspecialty talents to the project. They includeCal Stripe Inc. in Colton, AlcornConstruction in Freemont, Penhall Co. inBakersfield, MCS Construction in El Cajonand Statewide General Contractors inRiverside.

Builders made sure traffic could continue rolling dur-ing construction by using crossover lanes, whichallow one or two lanes of I-15 traffic to be shifted tolanes on the opposite side of the freeway.

The project requires some specialty equipmentincluding a Zipper, which is a wheeled machine thatquickly changes barriers and creates crossoverlanes so another lane can be closed down.

Infrastructure Upgrades to Help Cut Water Use in San DiegoBy Irwin RapoportCEG CORRESPONDENT

The ongoing drought inCalifornia has the CaliforniaDepartment of Transportation(Caltrans) investing in infrastruc-ture new and upgrades tohelp conserve water in the immedi-ate and for the future.Caltrans District 11 San

Diego and Imperial County will beinvesting millions of dollars onprojects and initiatives to conservewater, which translates into morework for general contractors andmore efficient systems.We recognize our responsibili-

ty to lead by example as droughtconditions continue throughout thestate, said Edward Cartagena,Caltrans media information officer,and are doing more than everbefore to continue a consistent,downward trend in water usagealong its state highway landscap-ing and to exceed state and localmandated requirements.Caltrans used approximately

1.07 billion gal. for the roadsidelandscape in 2014.There was an approximate 25

percent savings from the 2013usage that exceeds the governors20 percent goal defined in theJanuary 2014 emergency procla-mation, said Cartagena. Thedepartment is setting a statewidegoal for an additional 25 percent asthe drought continues. The peakdemand for roadside wateringoccurs between August andSeptember.Irrigation for the roadside is irri-

gated with sprinklers and pipedelivery systems.Currently there is about 119

highway centerline miles that areirrigated with potable water andapproximately 66 highway center-line miles irrigated with recycledwater, said Cartagena. Water isdistributed to the roadside land-scape efficiently and is used by theroadside vegetation, there is noexcess run-off. Caltrans does nottreat or deliver water this isdone by the water purveyors.Caltrans is an end-user that careful-ly uses its allocated waterresources.The investment in new infra-

structure by Caltrans on waterinfrastructure is considerable, withDistrict 11 investing $3.4 million

in smart controller upgrades.The goal is to have 100 percent

smart controller capability in thenext several years for all the viableirrigated landscapes in the district,said Cartagena. Smart controllersallow greater management of ourwater resources by giving mainte-nance the ability to manage thesystem remotely, use weather datato set schedules (including turningoff the system during rain events)and use flow sensing that turns offwater as a result of broken pipes orsprinklers.District 11 is also expanding

their recycled water infrastruc-ture, he added. Currently the dis-trict has a $2.07 million project toexpand the recycled water linesfrom state Route 52 to I-805 and inthe south bay to expand the recy-cled water system at the I-805/905interchange. We are also seekingfunds to expand at I-805/I-5 merge

in Sorrento Valley, the western por-tion of state Route 56 to I-5 andfurther expansion of recycledwater on I-805 in the south bay.Replacement is a must for parts

of the irrigation system, with someelements being more than 40 yearsold.As a result of freeway widen-

ing and highway projects, saidCartagena, the systems that areimpacted are modernized andupgraded. In addition projectssuch as upgrading of our controlsystems to smart controller tech-nology also include the opportuni-ty to evaluate the irrigation deliv-ery systems to make neededrepairs, abandon system that are nolonger needed, and retrofit to moreefficient delivery solutions.

The department has set a 50percent reduction state-wide dur-ing this period of unprecedenteddrought, he added. District 11has set a long term goal to convert75 percent of the roadside land-scape to solutions that require nosupplemental irrigation once estab-lished, as well as using recycledwater or non-potable sourceswhenever possible when irrigationis utilized.Most of rain collection by

District 11 has occurred via theresult of storm water efforts.Best management practices

(BMPs) such a bio-filtrationswales, detention basins, retentionbasins, and structural subsurfaceretention systems have been a ben-efit to the roadside landscape by

recharging water tables, saidCartagena, and adding to the sur-face water retention in vegetatedareas [is helping], as well as keep-ing our waterways clean. Severalprojects have also altered gradingto capture onsite rain water in aneffort of water harvesting for theroadside landscape.In the District 11 region,

Caltrans is responsible for main-taining nearly 4,000 acres of high-way landscaping and while thelandscaped areas provide pleasantvisuals, they have a greater pur-pose serving as fire brakes, pre-venting erosion, and acting as visu-al and noise barriers for adjacentresidential neighborhoods.While part of the plan is to

expand the planting of native anddrought-tolerant plants to reducelong-term water usage and mainte-nance, as well using mulch androckscape options, installingsmart irrigation systems to opti-mize water usage and the use ofrecycled water is critical.We took notable steps taken in

recent years to reduce highwaylandscape water use in the region,and more options are being

explored as restrictions tighten,said Cartagena. These measuresincluded upgrading irrigation con-trollers that are operated through acomputer-based Central ControlSystem, which has high-flowdetection to identify breaks andresponds with an automatic turnoff; the collection of data to meas-ure how much moisture is lostfrom a plant based on weather con-ditions; and automatic shut-downof the irrigation schedule duringrainy weather.Irrigation controllers not on

central control still need to be man-ually turned off by maintenancecrews or contractors, he added.Working with maintenance forcesand construction contractors hasallowed us to improve irrigationpractices and repair irrigationbreaks to minimize water loss. Wealso stopped irrigation of turfgrasses and lawns at roadside restareas, highway maintenance yardsand truck inspection facilities.Other initiatives saw the instal-

lation of programmed controllersto reduce irrigation and nighttimeirrigation and the use of placed

Through October, the projectofficially is in a period of publiccomment on the environmentalimpact of the tunnels. The U.S.Environmental Protection Agency,which opposed an earlier versionof the project, also must still weighin. Restore the Delta, a group of

farmers, fishing associations, envi-ronmental groups and other oppo-nents, released the property planthat was obtained with a requestmade under the state open recordslaw. The plan targets public andprivate land in Sacramento, San

Joaquin, Contra Costa andAlameda counties to be acquiredfor the project. Under the plan, landowners

would have 30 days to considerand negotiate a one-time stateoffer, while officials simultaneous-ly prepare to take the land byforced sale if owners declined tosell. Negotiations to continue inparallel with eminent domain pro-ceedings, the plan noted. Contractors also appear to call

for minimal public input. All transactions are conducted,

reviewed and approved internallyby DCE staff and managers to

maintain control and avoid unnec-essary delays to schedule, theproperty plan outlines. DCE shallseek to minimize external reviewand approval requirements. DCE is short for Delta

Conveyance Facilities Design andConstruction Enterprise, a private-contractor group embedded withinthe state Department of WaterResources to work on the proposedtunnels. In a June interview, Neil Gould,

an attorney of the Department ofWater Resources, said planning forthe proposed tunnels was no morethan 10 percent complete and had

focused on assessing the environ-mental impact. Asked if planning the process of

eminent domain was warranted aspart of the projects environmentalreview, Department of WaterResources spokeswoman NancyVogel said in an email, identifica-tion of properties that may be with-in the project area is necessary ... asDWR needs to estimate the pro-posed projects potential impacts tothose properties. Public water agencies paid for

the property acquisition plan,Vogel said. Those include wateragencies in the San Francisco Bay

Area and Central California, aswell as Southern California, shesaid. Patterson, of the Metropolitan

Water District, said the latest revi-sions to the overall tunnels projectlaid out using more public land andless private land. Osha Meserve, an attorney of

some of the delta farmers fightingthe project, said the latest plans stillproposes taking roughly the sameland as before. (This story also can be found on

Caltrans Invests Millions to Help Curb Water Usage mulch to reduce landscape waterloss due to evaporation.

Contractors were brought in toreplace/upgrade irrigation con-trollers to smart technology andreplace inefficient sprinkler headsand ineffective automatic remotecontrol valves, and highway mainte-nance station and roadside rest areafaucets, urinals and toilets withmore efficient, low water-flow sys-tems.

Caltrans uses recycled water inareas where it is supplied to it and itcontinues to work with suppliers toexpand the network of recycledwater lines. This is translating intonew projects that are being planned,such as the installation of lines tolarge segments of Interstate 5 (I-5)and the North Coast and state Route56.

There are also plans is to expandrecycled water use in the southernpart of the county as projects devel-op on I-5, Interstate 805 and stateRoute 905, said Cartagena.

Environmental concerns and reg-ulations also require Caltrans and its

partners and stakeholders to createwetlands and other habitats as envi-ronmental mitigation for the con-struction of transportation projects.

These sites often require irriga-tion to establish habitats for wildlifeand flora, said Cartagena. To dothis, we and the permitting agenciesnegotiate the required level of miti-gation in accordance with theCalifornia Environmental QualityAct, National EnvironmentalPolicy Act, the Clean Water Act, theEndangered Species Act and theCalifornia Coastal Act.

The basic thought is that whenCaltrans builds a project and if thatproject creates impacts, he added,the department complies with itscommitments to mitigate thoseimpacts. Sometimes the mitigationmay create impacts of its own, suchas irrigation, and the departmentbalances this need with waterreductions in other areas.
