Document Description
The Operator intends to alter the streambed by removing exotic plants and repairing the existing rock slope protection (RSP). The project is located on Alvarado Creek just downstream of the interstate-8 exit to Fletcher Parkway, in the City of La Mesa. The purpose of the project is to restore the creek to native, primarily herbaceous, vegetation to alleviate periodic flooding of Alvarado Road and the adjacent business. Exotic plants to be removed consist mainly of Mexican fan palm (Washington Robusta) and Canary Island date palm (Phoenix canariensis), but all non-native plants will be removed; all native species will be left in place. The RSP repair will include removal and replacement of rip-rap in an area approximately 115 ft. x 22.5 ft. All vehicles or other equipment associated with the work will remain outside of the stream channel. All debris will be removed from the site and legally disposed of. The project includes revegetation of the cleared areas with herbaceous native plants and periodic maintenance to prevent exotic plants from becoming re-established.
