Abstract/Artist Statement
The University of the Pacific has asked for a new roadway from the West Entrance of the Stockton campus to accompany the razing of the existing stadium and the construction of a new sports complex. A preliminary detailed design of the proposed road and stormwater drainage system needed to serve the new sports complex was prepared. The work required to complete these designs included a topographical survey of the current conditions, delineation of existing utilities, existing parking lot demolition plan, a site grading plan, and geotechnical soil characterization. Roadway slopes and drainage were also taken into account when creating the grading plan. A comprehensive storm water drainage plan and pump station design will be among the most complex elements of the project. Drainage design facilities were included to provide retention and treatment of stormwater runoff as specified by the City of Stockton. A new pump station was necessary to accommodate larger rainfall events at the proposed sports complex. Design aesthetics associated with landscaping and fencing were consistent with existing campus architectural styles. The proposed project advances Pacific’s goal to achieve 100 percent compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Lastly, the project also includes the preparation of an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Mitigation measures are proposed to address potentially adverse impacts.
