Document Description
To restore the site to pre-flood conditions, the recommended repair work consists of shortening the available crest width to 12 feet thus allowing for a more gradual slope, excavating landside slope to 1.5H:1V and reconstructing with a 1.75H:1V slope using levee embankment fill material. This material will be benched into the existing to provide a good interface. Precautions will be taken during compaction along the crest to prevent water infiltration which could lead to the development of tension cracks along the shoulder.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Declared Emergency
Type, Section or Code
Sec. 21080(b)(3); 15269(a)
Reasons for Exemption
A state of emergency was proclaimed on March 1, 2023 by Governor Newsom to address the storms that swept across California beginning in late February 2023. On March 8, 2023, the Governor issued a proclamation to include additional counties to the state of emergency. The project is statutorily exempt from CEQA pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 15269 (a), Emergency Projects, because the project involves repair work to flood damaged levees in disaster-stricken areas caused by the storm events in which the state of emergency was proclaimed.
