31 March 2026
1. Location: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Black Butte Dam & Lake, 19225 Newville Rd., Orland, CA 95963
1.1. Work site locations:
1.1.1. Buckhorn Recreation Area
500 Buckhorn Rd.
Geographic Coordinates: 39.82474, -122.37686
1.1.2. Eagle Pass Recreation Area
19225 Newville Rd.
Geographic Coordinates: 39.80179, -122.32992500
1.1.3. Orland Buttes Recreation Area

Geographic Coordinates: 39.76287, -122.34048
2. Background: Black Butte Dam and Lake includes three recreation areas, each served by an independent, lagoon-based wastewater treatment system comprised of a septic tank (primary treatment) and oxidation pond (secondary treatment). The ponds vary in size and treatment capacity and have been in continuous operation since 1979.
Wastewater generated at each recreation area receives primary treatment in septic tanks prior to discharge into the oxidation ponds. The ponds are engineered, man-made basins with large surface areas designed to provide secondary biological treatment through natural aerobic and anaerobic processes. In addition to treatment, the ponds provide effluent storage and seasonal volume reduction through evaporation.
As a result of prolonged operational exposure, the existing pond liners have deteriorated and no longer provide reliable containment, creating the need for liner replacements.
3. Description: The required contractor services are to replace three (3) existing oxidation pond liners and restore them to fully operational sewage treatment systems.
The work includes removal and replacement of the existing pond liners in the following recreation areas:
• Buckhorn Recreation Area – approximately 12,500 square feet
• Eagle Pass Recreation Area – approximately 7,000 square feet
• Orland Buttes Recreation Area – approximately 8,000 square feet
The square footage values provided above represent the approximate liner surface areas and do not include additional material required for overlaps, anchor trenches, or other installation requirements necessary to ensure proper liner performance and system integrity.

3.3.3. Subgrade Preparation: The Contractor shall remove the existing gravel base and regrade the pond bottom and slopes as necessary to restore the pond subgrade to a smooth and uniform condition. Any sloughing, depressions, or holes shall be filled and compacted. The pond interior slopes shall be graded to a maximum slope of 3:1 (horizontal to vertical) or match existing slopes where steeper slopes are present and stable, in accordance with applicable California Regional Water Quality Control Board guidance. The subgrade shall be moisture-conditioned and compacted to produce a firm, smooth, and stable surface suitable for liner installation. The finished subgrade shall provide firm, uniform support for the liner system and shall be free of rocks, debris, sharp objects, voids, standing water, and soft or unstable areas that could damage the liner or result in settlement. Areas exhibiting rutting, pumping, excessive deflection, or instability during subgrade preparation or equipment operation shall be corrected through reprocessing of subgrade, moisture conditioning, compaction, or other stabilization methods as necessary. Geotextile underlayment or geomembrane materials shall not be placed until the prepared subgrade has been inspected and accepted by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).
3.3.4. Geotextile Underlayment Installation: The Contractor shall furnish and install a geotextile underlayment across all lined areas in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. The underlayment shall consist of a 12-ounce needle-punched nonwoven geotextile manufactured from 100 percent polypropylene staple fibers.
The geotextile shall be placed on the prepared subgrade to provide continuous cushioning and protection for the geomembrane liner and shall be installed to maintain full contact with the prepared surface without wrinkles, folds, or bridging.
3.3.5. Reinforced Polypropylene (RPP) Liner Installation: The Contractor shall furnish and install a 45-mil Reinforced Polypropylene (RPP) geomembrane liner in accordance with manufacturer recommendations. Liner panels shall be placed to minimize seams and wrinkles and shall maintain continuous contact with the geotextile underlayment. All seams shall be continuous thermally welded overlap seams that are watertight and free of wrinkles or fishmouths. Seam cover strips shall be installed where recommended by the manufacturer to reinforce seams and reduce potential leakage. Exposed geomembrane panels shall be adequately secured or ballasted at the end of each workday to prevent wind uplift or displacement.
3.3.6. Anchor Trench Installation: The Contractor shall install a continuous perimeter anchor trench located at a minimum of 12 inches landward of the pond slope crest.
The anchor trench shall have minimum dimensions 24 inches wide by 24 inches deep. The geotextile underlayment and RPP geomembrane shall extend continuously into the anchor trench. The geomembrane shall be placed with sufficient slack to prevent stress during thermal expansion or settlement, seated firmly at the bottom of the trench, and extended up the back side of the trench a minimum of 6 inches. Anchor trench backfill shall consist of approved native soil free of rocks, debris, or sharp objects that could damage the liner and shall be placed and compacted carefully to provide secure embedment of the liner system.
3.3.7. Pipe Penetrations and Appurtenances: The Contractor shall seal all pipe penetrations through the geomembrane liner using prefabricated pipe boots or field-fabricated boots compatible with the 45-mil RPP geomembrane. Pipe boots shall be attached to the liner using extrusion welding or other manufacturer-approved methods and secured to the pipe using stainless steel bands or equivalent corrosion-resistant hardware to provide a watertight seal. The Contractor shall remove the existing staff gauge at each pond and dispose of existing staff gages offsite. The Contractor shall furnish and install one new staff gauge per pond. Staff gauges shall be constructed of corrosion-resistant materials suitable for continuous outdoor and wastewater exposure. Graduations shall be permanently marked, high-contrast, UV-resistant, and clearly legible from a minimum distance of 25 feet.
3.3.8. Maintenance Road Aggregate Base: The Contractor shall furnish and place ¾-inch crushed aggregate along the pond perimeter maintenance road, located outside of the anchor trench and within the interior of the fence line. The aggregate shall be placed to a minimum depth of three (3) inches and graded to provide a stable and uniform surface suitable for maintenance and inspection vehicles. Aggregate placement shall remain a minimum of twelve (12) inches landward of the anchor trench to prevent loading, displacement, or damage to the liner termination system.
3.3.9. Eagle Pass Oxidation Pond Gate & Fencing: The Contractor shall remove the existing gate and associated fencing and furnish and install a new 12-foot-wide by 7-foot-high double-swing gate equipped with extension arms and three strands of barbed wire. The Contractor shall also furnish and install 7-foot-high perimeter fencing with extension arms and three strands of barbed wire at the Eagle Pass Oxidation Pond.
