Woodbridge Irrigation District Fish Screen Project Description 2007-2008 Description of the Planned Construction of the"V" Screen The District's project consists of constructing a"V" type fish screen at the entrance of the District's intake canal on the Mokelumne River, thereby diverting out-migrating juvenile fish into a fish bypass pipeline at the WID diversion which returns them to the Mokelumne River downstream and prevents them from entering the District's canal system. The location of the project is shown in Exhibit "A"-Woodbridge Irrigation District Lower Mokelumne River Restoration Project. The "V" Screen Construction and canal lining within the County Right of Way This portion of the project is within the County right of way adjacent to and east of the Lower Sacramento Road Bridge in Woodbridge and is scheduled to begin on October 1, 2007 and be completed on May 1, 2008. The District project will involve lining the canal floor and walls with 2 feet of reinforced concrete and placement of a 1/2 inch expansion joint between the two structures. No structural changes will be made to the bridge. Modification of the curb to a kneel down side walk and vehicle gates. The District also plans to construct an approach on the SE corner of the bridge between the existing brick pilasters and modify the fence into a double door swinging and locking gate identical to the County's NE corner gate. The vehicle approach will consisting of first saw cutting and removing the existing curbing and then following the Type 2 Commercial Driveway Drawing (SJCO Drawing used to construct the NW corner vehicle approach on original bridge plan) constructing the kneel down curb. The County Public Works Department would be notified prior to construction and prior to placement of concrete concrete to inspect compaction and rebar placement. A 5000 PSI concrete mixture and curing agent will be used. This work is anticipated to be completed December 3 through December 7, 2007. The District will provide signage and flagmen to protect the public. Side walk areas will be plated during the non-construction times to protect the public against injury. The Lower Sacramento Road surface including the bridge lanes will be open and un-obscured to vehicle and pedestrian traffic.
