Redwood Glen Camp and Conference Center

LOMA MAR, CA

SRT worked with the Redwood Glen Camp & Conference Center, which owns and operates a small water system, to design, permit, and project manage the implementation of a new surface water system. Over the three (3) years of this project, SRT developed a water supply availability study, an alternative analysis report, conceptual engineering documents, and final plans and specifications for the Redwood Glen water system. Following a consolidation study and groundwater supply exploration, it was determined that Redwood Glen would need to utilize its surface water sources as its main potable water supply. SRT evaluated the condition of the water system, performed a review of the supply alternatives, and developed a proposed design of storage, transmission piping, pumping and treatment facilities, taking into account Redwood Glen’s regulatory restrictions and environmental challenges.

SRT worked closely with Redwood Glen staff to design a surface water treatment plant (SWTP) to treat the surface water from two creeks, which included a membrane filtration unit, iron and manganese treatment, and continuous disinfection facilities. SRT designed the new system to utilize as much existing infrastructure as possible, and to incorporate design-build philosophies for the SWTP and other facilities to allow for expedited and low-cost construction. SRT provided construction management support during the implementation stage to assist Redwood Glen in effectively managing on-site contractors. Additionally, SRT led the permitting process of the new community surface water system, which involved continuous negotiations with DDW and County stakeholders throughout the process and included the development of key documents for permitting of a new public water system.
