Quechan Discharge Piping System Project - Drainage Well #4 (DW-4): The proposed agreement will support the Quechan Indian Tribe’s efforts to abandon a 1200-foot discharge pipeline and to complete the installation of a replacement pipeline. The existing discharge piping system is buried under a dirt parking lot, at unknown depth and location, and has surpassed its useful life. The new discharge piping system will be placed adjacent to the existing line and will be constructed with heavier gauge large-diameter piping. Abandonment and replacement of the drainage well will prevent failure, reduce seepage, resolve flooding concerns and diminish the risk of non-point source pollution caused through unintentional breakage of the existing, dilapidated discharge piping system.
