Subject:APPROVE the Vasco Road Embankment Repair Project and related actions under the California Environmental
Quality Act.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this Project is to repair severe erosion along the road embankment and replace sections of a
damaged concrete ditch in two locations within the right of way of Vasco Road in order to redirect the drainage
back toward a perennial tributary of Brushy Creek, as originally intended by embankment construction. The
Project consists of excavating, benching, and compacting the eroded areas so that fill composed of native material
can be deposited at these locations. The failed concrete ditch material will be recycled by breaking it up and
incorporating it into the fill as riprap. The concrete ditch will then be reconstructed with a 12” tall, 6” wide
concrete salamander barrier spanning the entire length of the ditch on the uphill side. The barbed wire fence along
the right of way will be replaced. The disturbed areas will be planted with native seed after construction is complete.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Delay in approving the Project may result in a delay of construction.
