Document Description
Issuance of Right of Entry Permit for the purpose of allowing USGS to install a precipitation gage in Corral Canyon. The precipitation gage is to provide flood warning to downstream residents in recently burned areas based on data transmitted from the gage. The gage will provide early warning of potentially hazardous conditions resulting from heavy precipitation for the Malibu area in general and Corral Canyon in particular. The proposed gage measures 3'x2.5'x2' and is self contained operating via battery/solar power. It would be in place for ~3 years. The preferred installation method will require excavation of ~2.5 cu ft. of soil to a depth of 6-8 inches in order to set the footing of the gage.
