REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS AND BACKGROUND:
The purpose of the proposed investigation is to provide geotechnical sampling and analysis of the levees along
Wildcat and San Pablo Creeks in the North Richmond Area. The geotechnical documentation developed in this
investigation will be submitted to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management
Agency(FEMA) to show that the levees meet the requirements of Section 65.10 of the National Flood Insurance
Program(NFIP)regulations. The levees covered in the proposed geotechnical investigation are FEMA Provisionally
Accredited Levees (PAL)and thus a full certification for them must be provided to FEMA by July 25,2009,or the
landward side of the levees will be designated as floodprone. This grant, if received, will pay the majority of the
costs associated with the geotechnical investigation required for the certification.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If a geotechnical investigation, along with other documentation, is not provided to FEMA for the levees along
Wildcat and San Pablo Creeks,the levees will lose their FEMA certification and the landward side of the levees will
be declared floodprone.
