BACKGROUND The Committee reviewed the minutes of the November 5 , 1987, meet- ing of the Fish and Wildlife Study Committee and felt that the questions raised by the Study Committee concerning the proposed project should be formally submitted during the EIR scoping ses- sions. A representative from the County Flood Control District was also present at the November 5th Fish and Wildlife Study Committee meeting. It was reported to the Water Committee that Flood Control has several concerns pertaining to the proposed design of the interior levees or "beach slopes. " These concerns include the stability of the levee foundations after construction and the possibility of the levees becoming buoyant during the deep flooding phases of the project. The Committee believes that the questions raised at the November 30 Water Committee meeting, and stated above, should be addressed by County Counsel at this point in time. EW: jn 131: flood.brd
