Major Flowline Replacement Near Tule River
If you live near the Middle Fork of the Tule River in Tulare County, California, the licensee proposes to abandon a 13,566-foot section of the existing flowline and replace it with a 4-foot-diameter, 8,575-foot steel pipe. Construction would last about 6 months, require a 30-foot-wide construction corridor, and use three staging areas totaling 3.7 acres; the applicant says it will remove loose sheet metal flume sections but will abandon wooden trestles, concrete canals, and some steel pipe in place.
