The result is a series of technical documents that provide the basis of the SCWP Implementation Plan, which includes scopes for a number of projects, estimates, schedules and budgets. The Master Plan contains information on site planning, site layout, treatment process selection, basis of design, design standards, and overall program implementation. Also discussed in this report is the PEIR that the environmental sub-consultant, Environmental Science Associates (ESA), prepar...
