Document Description
The channel located between 3rd Avenue and the flood control channel of Escondido Creek has a long history of being chronically wet with standing water, thus creating a breeding habitat for mosquitoes, particularly in the upstream concrete-lined portion of the proposed project area. As a result, the existing channel has experienced a long history of flooding and vector control issues, resulting in impacts related to flood control, public health and safety, and water quality. The City is using the County of San Diego Department of Environmental Health funding grant to implement a variety of drainage improvement activities to eliminate vector breeding and nuisance water issues that have existed within the channel. In implementing the proposed drainage improvements, the City also would integrate design characteristics intended to offset or minimize environmental impacts through a variety of beneficial improvements to the earthen drainage features that provide habitat, water quality, and aesthetic value. Drainage improvement activities would include repairs and improvements such as removing silt and vegetation through the following measures; concrete and earthen channel dredging; culvert clean-out; installation of permanent manholes, concrete wingwalls, and sediment traps; vegetation clearing and trimming; access road clearing; and revegetation using drought-tolerant native plants.
