III. Reasonsfor Recommendations and BackLyroand:
The District plans to support the ALOE effort to perform a General Reevaluation Report (Report) for the
Lower Walnut Creek Restoration Project. Accumulation of sediment in the lower reaches of Walnut Creek
Channel has caused a reduction in the level of flood protection available in the channel. Removal of the silt is
extremely problematic due to new regulatory guidelines and specifically concerns to endangered and listed
species. The ALOE will study alternative methods ofregaining the original level of flood protection combined
with maximizing restoration opportunities in the channel. The Report will also determine federal interest in
participating financially in the construction of flood control improvements and has a 50150 cost share
requirement between the local sponsor and the ACME to fund the study.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
If the District does not process the Agreements the General Re-evaluation Report will be delayed and federal
financial participation may be lost.
