East Delta Pump Station Upgrade
This project will expand the pumping capacity at the East Delta "Oliver" Pump Station by adding new pumps in a new structure and by improving the primary and tributary conveyance channelsto direct fish toward the new fish friendly pumps.
The project will consist of the following:
- Installation of fish-friendly pumps in a new structure capable of conveying a flow of approximately 2.5 m3/s capacity or slightly more under maximum future head conditions;
- Improvements to the existing pump station and the power infrastructure to accommodate the increased pumping capacity (including higher capacity electrical service to the facility, consideration of a higher efficiency pump motors for existing pumps, backup power capability, and installation of new transformers / electrical equipment) ;
- Instrumentation for improved operation, continuous measurement and monitoring (i.e. SCADA and CCTV) for improved water level and flow monitoring; and,
- Expansion of Big Slough and tributary channels / culverts near the pump station toinclude fish habitat structures and features.
