The Coast Unified School District (CUSD) sought a solution to irrigate a combined 130,000 square feet of all-season, multipurpose grass fields at its Cambria Elementary School, located in the seaside town of Cambria, CA. Nestled between San Francisco and Los Angeles on the famous Pacific Coast Highway, Cambria faced certain challenges that made conventional delivery systems not feasible: limited water resources, erosion control challenges, and an elevation rise that prevented adequate volume and pressure to transport irrigation water on-site.
Due to the stringent water quality and erosion prevention demands of the California Coastal Commission, the CUSD contracted RRM Design Group for architecture and civil engineering services and Earth Systems Pacific for soil engineering to coordinate a resolution. The team chose to implement the Environmental Passive Integrated Chamber (EPIC Chamber™) System, a water management solution from Indianapolis-based Firestone Specialty Products. The system can collect and store water from all available stormwater and hardscape run-off and help reduce municipal irrigation water reliance by more than 50 percent.
