REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS AND BACKGROUND: The Bollinger Canyon Road Slide project will stabilize the western dope of the road and prevent further damage to the shoulder of the road. Without this repair, further slide movement will result in closure of one or both lanes of the road. The McBryde Avenue Slide project will stabilize the northern slope of the road and open the lane currently closed due to the slide. The road at this location is hemmed in on the south side by a rock retaining wall. Fire access through this area is seriously impacted by the closure of one lane due to the slide. The McEwen Road Slide project will stabilize the western slope of the road. Preliminary reports from the soils engineer indicate that the slide is comprised of the overburden material from the original road construction. The area is currently coned off and further movement could close the road altogether. Since Bollinger Canyon Road is included in the federal highway system and with the federal designation of Contra Costa County as a disaster area, it qualifies for Federal Highway Administration funds to make the repairs. Consequently, 88.5% financing is available and the County will have to pay the 11.5% matching funds using road funds. McBryde Avenue and McEwen Road slides both qualify for Federal Emergency Management Agency {FEMA} funds. FEMA provides 75% of the funding while the State provides the remaining 25%. Work to repair these three slides began October 14, 1998, IV. Consequences of Negative Action: Non-concurrence of the above recommendation will significantly delay repair of the slides prolonging impacts to traffic flow, and potentially endangering these roads roadway from further erosion and slippage.

Transp.Engineering Determine the Need to Continue the Emergency Action Regarding the Repair of the Fish Ranch Road Slide Orinda Area December 95, 1998 Page Two 111. Reasons For Recommendations And Background: Fish Ranch Road has been damaged by a landslide which affected the uphill, north bound lane and approximately three feet of the downhill, south bound lane. The slide scarp has dropped approximately one foot below road surface, creating a dangerous condition which necessitated closing the road February 21, 1998. The Public Works Department was able to make temporary repairs to the slide damaged roadway, which facilitated opening the south bound lane on March 9. Since Fish Ranch Road is included in the federal highway system and with the federal designation of Contra Costa County as a disaster area, it qualifies for Federal Highway Administration funds to make the repairs. To receive 100% funding for this repair, the work mustbe completed within 180 days of the February 2, 1998 emergency declaration. After that time, only 88.5% financing is available and the County will have to pay the 11.5% matching funds. Construction to correct the slide work has been completed. Work to complete a secondary minor slide began in early November. We recommend that the Board continue the emergency action to ensure completion of the repair in the most expeditious manner. IV. Consequences of Negative Action: Non-concurrence of the above recommendation will significantly delay completion of the repair of the roadway, prolonging impacts to traffic flow.
