Document Description
The Operator proposes to alter the streambed to replace the undersized storm drainage system south of Palos Verdes Drive East and construct storm drainage and landslide stabilization improvements within the southeasterly-trending canyon located between San Ramon Drive and Calle Aventura. The proposed project will be carried out in two phases. Phase 1, which is intended to stabilize the lanslide prior to the rainy season, involves the placement of an approximately 15,000 cubic yard "plug" at the base of the landslide along with the construction of permanent drainage facilities within the "plug" and an energy dissipation structure, cut-off wall and rip rap at the outlet of the pipe. Phase II involves the placement of approximately 50,000 cubic yards of imported soil to provide additional buttress strength for the slope. The proposed slope would be a maximum gradient of 2:1 with a height of approximately 120 feet. A brow ditch and five terrace drains will also be constructed. The brow ditch, which will be located at the daylight line, will be constructed of welded wire mesh encased in concrete and will have maximum dimensions of five feet wide and two feet deep. The five terrace drains will be constructed of the same material and will be three feet wide and 18 inches deep. Phase II also includes the revegetation of the landslide. Revegetation will consist of coastal sage scrub.
