Document Description
The proposed project includes the construction, operation and maintenance of a new desiltation basin and levee approximately 5 miles in length and south of the existing San Jacinto River channel in the city of San Jacinto and unincorporated areas of Riverside County. The existing levee is considered inadequate. The proposed levee is anticipated to increase the channel capacity for flood control up to a 100-year event and reduce the potential for breaches that could allow flood waters to escape and come into contact with dairy and other wastes and contaminate local surface waters. The proposed levee will alleviate flooding and disruption of traffic circulation for the major transportation corridors of Ramona Expressway, State Street, and Sanderson Avenue within the city. Installation of the new southern levee would increase the channel width by an average of approximately 600 feet (180 meters). This would increase the channel area by approximately 400 acres.
