Document Description
The project involves construction of educational and research facilities at the UCLA Stunt Ranch Santa Monica Mountains Reserve to replace those destroyed in the Malibu firestorm of 1993. The 67-acre Reserve is part of the UC Natural Reserve System administered by UCLA's Department of Biology. The proposed replacement facilities include an education center (approxmiately 3,315 gross square feet) and a Reserve manager's residence (approximately 1,650 gross square feet) to be constructed on the same general locations as the former structures. Due to unstable soil conditions, all of the proposed facilities would be portable modular structures which could be re-leveled should the need arise. Utility lines would remain above ground and be serviced by flexible connections. Water would be supplied by an off-site pump station. Two above ground water storage tanks would be provided for fire fighting purposes. In addition, the project includes renovation of a concrete reservoir to repair cracks (lined with a waterproof membrane) to prevent captured rainwater from slowly seeping into the soil. Wastewater generated by the project would be processed in an in-site treatment facility in which treated wastewater would empty into a new evaporative artificial wetland constructed with a waterproof membrane.
