FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no impact to the County General Fund. The estimated project cost is $25,000 funded by Flood Control
Zone 3B (100%).
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
The project consists of a levee repair on the north side of Pacheco Creek, approximately 0.6 mile upstream of its
confluence with Walnut Creek.Unsuitable materials now present on the levee must be capped with an impermeable
soil layer that meets U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (ALOE) specifications.
The repair will include: removing grassy vegetation from the embankment; removing the asphalt base wearing
surface from the top of the levee; roughening up the levee surface, spreading and capping the surface with
impermeable soil.;replacing the aggregate base wearing surface,and re-vegetating the repaired section of the levee
with a seed mix that includes native grass species.
The prof ect has been determined to be in compliance with the General Plan and is exempt from CEQA. The project
entails the reconstruction of an existing facility without the expansion of the facility, and does not involve the
removal of any mature scenic trees. The project will not result in the removal of any scenic resource.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Delays in approving the project will holdup getting additional necessary permits for the project.
