RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Engineer, or designee, to execute an encroachment permit with the East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD), in connection with the San Pablo and Wildcat Creeks Levee Remediation Project, North Richmond area. County Project No. 7527-6D8740 (District I)

FISCAL IMPACT:

The project is funded 90% California Department of Water Resources Local Levee Critical Repair Program Funds and 10% Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa County (County) Public Works Department is required to obtain an encroachment permit from EBRPD for the San Pablo and Wildcat Creeks Levee Remediation Project, in order to construct levee berm improvements that straddle EBRPD’s and Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District’s (Flood Control) property in the North Richmond area.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The levee berm improvements are necessary to bring the existing levee to meet current Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Freeboard requirements. Upon completion and acceptance of the project, these areas will be excluded from the FEMA Flood Zone Map and residents will not be required to purchase flood insurance.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County will not be able to construct levee improvements on EBRPD’s property.
