Firebaugh Flood Risk Reduction Feasibility Study
Document Type
MND - Mitigated Negative Declaration
Received
Present Land Use
Existing levees/ flood protection. Multiple locations adjacent to San Joaquin River. Public/City areas
Document Description
The Firebaugh Flood Risk Deduction Project will occur in three areas. In Area 1, about 1.1 miles of new levee will be built, the existing levee might be breached and possibly removed within the space contained by the new levee, and that space could be restored or otherwise enhanced to provide riparian woodland habitat in the new floodplain. In Area 2, a severely eroded riverbank will be reinforced to protect adjacent City infrastructure from flooding by the San Joaquin River. In Area 3, a new levee will be built around the existing water treatment plant infrastructure to protect it against flooding. In addition, the existing levee might be enhanced at other areas such asthe Firebaugh rodeo grounds, although those plans are contingent on the results of a flood modeling study. Final design of the flood protection measures will be determined following this feasibility analysis.
