Redmont Pump Station Replacement Project

** Note: Where indicated as Sunland is actually Tujunga **

LADWP WATER SYSTEM PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION PROJECT -- REDMONT PUMP STATION
-- SUNLAND AREA

The City of Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) is proposing to replace the existing Redmont Pump Station, located at 10503 Redmont Avenue in the City of Los Angeles community of Sunland, with a new pump station, located at 10709 North Tujunga Canyon Boulevard, also in the community of Sunland. As the Lead Agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the LADWP has prepared an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) which evaluates the potential environmental effects of the proposed project.

Under the proposed project, the LADWP would: (1) construct and operate a new water pump station to replace the existing Redmont Pump Station; (2) construct and operate two new underground water pipelines; and, (3) remove the existing Redmont Pump Station upon completion of the replacement pump station and its associated pipelines.

See pages 5 and 6 of the MND and 56-63 of the Initial Study for more detailed discussion of traffic and traffic mitigation planned for the project.

The detailed project description and map may be viewed on the LADWP
Neighborhood Council Webpage at www.ladwp.com/nc.
