Site work and renovation of a civil project in Goleta, California. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a water / sewer project; and for site work for a water / sewer project.

The groundwater interceptor trench (GWIT) system consists of a groundwater extraction trench (cut-off trench) just south of the existing unlined area of the Tajiguas Landfill. The trench is approximately 200 feet long, three feet wide, 47 feet deep, and is keyed into unweathered bedrock, specifically the Tertiary Rincon shale. Using a pump, the trench lowers the groundwater table, providing groundwater separation from the landfill and associated leachate. This project includes the design and installation of a new groundwater treatment system to remove per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from groundwater produced from the GWIT. It is assumed that treated groundwater will be discharged at suitable locations within the Tajiguas Landfill and help meet water demands. Status: Engineering design for the Tajiguas Groundwater Treatment System is scheduled for FY 2021-22. Construction is expected to commence In FY 2022-23. Project is included in the Santa Barbara County's FY 2022 - 2027 Budget CIP. As of September 27, 2022, information regarding a design team or a general contractor is not available. Funding is anticipated from 2022 to FY 2024.* *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change.
