BACKGROUND
The Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency (SCVWA) is requesting two easements from the City of Santa Clarita (City) to allow for construction of a 54-inch diameter pipeline across a portion of Assessor Parcel Numbers (APNs) 2811-063-904, -905, -906 and -907, located parallel to San Francisquito Creek (Creek) in the Rye Canyon industrial area as a part of the SCVWA Castaic Conduit Bypass Pipeline Project (Project). The purpose of this Project is to create a more secure and flexible water supply throughout the Santa Clarita Valley.
Construction of this Project will have a minimal impact to the trails on both sides of the Creek. It is the responsibility of SCVWA to manage all construction and associated impacts related to barricades, detours, signs, public safety, and restoration of the trails upon completion of the project to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
The Project will require the dedication of a 12,139 square-foot easement for pipeline purposes and a 64,121 square-foot temporary construction easement over a portion of the above- mentioned parcels. The newly installed pipeline section will run southeast of San Francisquito
Creek parallel to the bridge on Avenue Scott.
Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency is offering $10,675 for these easements. This offering for the easement is standard practice by Santa Clarita Water Valley Agency and is based off an appraisal.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION

FISCAL IMPACT
