San Joaquin Area Flood Control -2- 15 October 2019 <br />Agency <br />Smith Canal Gate Project, Test Pile Program <br />PROJECT DESCRIPTION: <br />The 0.0001 -acre Smith Canal Gate Project, Test Pile Program (Project) consists of <br />vibratory and impact driving a 20 -inch steel sheet pile and "H" pile in three separate <br />locations along the future alignment of the cellular sheet pile Smith Canal wall across <br />the mouth of Atherton Cove. Spanning three days, pile driving and removal of each test <br />pile will require the use of up to two barges, and up to 1,000 strikes with an impact <br />hammer on each day. Each test pile will first be vibrated to the maximum depth <br />possible, and then will be driven to design depth using an impact hammer, if needed. <br />The piles will be monitored for structural stresses during installation, and then each pile <br />will be removed once reaching design elevation. <br />The project will also include 5 cone penetration tests (CPTs) across the cellular sheet <br />pile wall alignment. CPTs will involve pressing a sensor mounted on a 2 -inch -wide pole <br />into the channel bottom from a barge -mounted rig, with additional sections being added <br />as the pole is pressed further into the channel bed. <br />The Project will temporarily impact 0.0001 acre/10 linear feet of waters of the United <br />States. <br />PROJECT LOCATION: <br />Section 6, Township 1 North, Range 6 East, MDB&M <br />Latitude: 7057'28.4"N and Longitude: 121021'09.7"W <br />PROJECT SCHEDULE: <br />30 September through 31 October <br />APPLICATION FEE RECEIVED: <br />An application fee of $1,638.00 was received on 17 September 2019. <br />The fee amount was determined as required by California Code of Regulations, title 23, <br />sections 3833(b)(3) and 2200(a)(3), and was calculated as category E - Low Impact <br />Discharges (fee code 87) with the dredge and fill fee calculator. <br />If you have any questions regarding this Notice of Applicability, please contact Nicholas <br />White at (916) 464-4856 or Nicholas.WhiteCa�waterboards.ca.gov. <br />Original Signed By James Marshall for: <br />Patrick Pulupa <br />Executive Officer <br />Enclosure: Clean Water Act Section 401 General Water Quality Certification and Order <br />for the State Water Board Certification of the 2017 Nationwide Permits (SB17001 GN) <br />cc: Distribution List, page 3 <br />
