Reasons for Recommendations and Background: Winter storm water caused two slope failures within the limits of this project. By including repairs as part of this project, we can use the existing permit issued by the California Department of Fish & Game. This avoids a lengthy permit review/approval process. IV. Consequences of Negative Action: The lack of approval would prevent successful completion of this contract and preclude payment to the contractor for required work.
