Segment 1

Segment 1 is located entirely on private property on steep slopes on the west side of the Carson River Valley between Foothill Road (State Route [SR] 206) and Kingsbury Grade (SR 207) approximately 4 miles west of Minden, NV. Segment 1 will consist of approximately 0.34 miles of new 12-inch diameter steel pipe paralleling Paiute's existing 8-inch diameter steel South Tahoe Lateral pipeline. The segment alignment will begin immediately downstream of Paiute's existing South Tahoe Pressure Limiting Station (PLS) and proceed to the west. This area was previously disturbed during the installation of Paiute's existing mainline in 1964.

The proposed Project work will entail installing approximately 1,800 feet of 12-inch diameter pipe immediately adjacent to the existing 8-inch diameter pipeline, keeping as much as possible within the existing easements. Two temporary work spaces are planned for the eastern terminus of the segment. The work spaces will be located on the north side of the pipeline corridor and west of the Foothill Road (SR 206). An existing 12 footwide access road extending from Foothill Road (SR 206) to the pipeline corridor will be used during construction.

Segment 2

Segment 2 is located in an existing pipeline ROW along Fairview Drive and South Edmonds Drive, and just south of East 5th Street (SR 513). Segment 2 is approximately 1.58 miles along Paiute’s existing Carson Lateral. The segment alignment will begin at Paiute’s existing Carson City Gate (CG) #5 located at the intersection of Fairview Drive and SR 513 and proceed southwest along Fairview Drive and South Edmonds Drive within existing public ROW. The proposed pipeline alignment crosses BLM-administered land (19%), State of Nevada land (39%), and private land (42%). This area was previously disturbed during the installation of Paiute’s two existing mainlines in 1964 and 1977.

The proposed Project work will entail replacing approximately 8,300 feet of Paiute’s existing 8-inch diameter steel Carson Lateral Loop pipeline with new 12-inch diameter steel pipe immediately adjacent to the existing 8-inch diameter Carson Lateral pipeline. Four temporary work spaces are being evaluated for use during construction, all within previously disturbed areas. One work space will be located at the north end of the segment on BLM-administered land on the east side of the pipeline corridor. Two work spaces will be centrally located at the intersection of Fairview Drive and Edmonds Drive. A fourth work space will be located at the south end of the segment on private land in a previously disturbed area. Construction access will be via public ROW and no new access will be constructed. All work is expected to occur within the existing public ROW that Paiute has already used for construction of its existing pipelines.

Segment 4

Segment 4 is located on the piedmont on the north edge of the Virginia Range west of US 50 Alternate (A) / US 95A and southwest of Fernley. Segment 4 is approximately 4.17 miles of new 20-inch diameter steel loop pipeline paralleling Paiute’s existing 16-inch diameter steel Carson Lateral pipeline. The segment alignment begins approximately 2.5 miles southwest of Fernley at Paiute’s existing Fernley Valve Assembly and proceeds southeast towards Paiute’s existing Racetrack Valve Assembly. It will be located, as much as possible, within the existing 50-foot BLM ROW and a series of private easements. The proposed pipeline alignment crosses BLM land (19%) and private land (81%).
