Document Description
Valley Water proposes to construct approximately 18,083 linear feet of floodwalls, passive barriers, berms, and other improvements along four reaches of Coyote Creek (Reaches 4, 6, 7, and 8) between Montague Expressway and Tully Road in the City of San Jose, Santa Clara County, California. In addition to constructing the primary flood risk reduction elements (floodwalls, passive barriers, and berms), the project would demolish structures such as fences and retaining walls within the project footprint; install sheet pile walls; construct appurtenant structures, including flood gates, flood doors, drains, and other features; trim or remove trees; and establish construction access and staging near construction sites. Following construction, routine maintenance activities such as trash and debris removal, vegetation management, graffiti removal, and periodic visual inspection and repair of the completed elements would occur as needed, as well as activities related to Valley Water’s Stream Maintenance Program to ensure that the completed project continues to function as designed to protect homes and businesses against a flood event approximately equivalent to a 20-year flood event.
