PROPOSAL MUK.
Background Information
The California Department of Nater Resources is soliciting grant proposals for
locally sponsored stream restoration projects. This application and any
accompanying documents required by this application must be postmarked by no
later than November 30, 1987, to be eligible for funding. This application
will be reviewed by a team of specialists including planners, landscape
architects, engineers, ecologists and fish and wildlife biologists. The team
will determine if the application meets the minimum requirements for funding as
specified in the attached "Policies of the Implementation of the Urban Streams
Program." The team will then evaluate the eligible proposals in order to rank
their performance against the criteria for establishing priorities for
financial assistance as listed on pages 3 and 4, Section II of the Pblicies.
After weighing the merits of the proposals against available program funds, the
team will recommend awards to the Director of the Department of Nater
Resources. The team may recommend a lower level of funding than the
application request if it determines that the applicant can still conduct a
meaningful portion of the proposed work or can raise the difference in funding
from other sources. The limit for financial assistance for this grant cycle is
$50,000. However, the average grant amount will probably be between $20,000
and $30,000. Applications for smaller amounts down to a few hundred
dollars are encouraged for those co=unity groups or local governments who are
involved in simple maintenance projects or volunteer organizing projects.
Notification of application results will occur during the winter of 1988. The
Department will require submission of copies of any necessary government
permits, agreements or environmental impact reports at the time a contract is
negotiated to transfer the grant award to the applicant. Except for Daps,
design specifications or existing reports you may have, please confine your
information to the space provided on this application.
I. Summary Statement
Describe the Purpose of your Project Proposal. How will your project
or plan help contribute to the reduction of property damages from
floods, bank failure or contribute to stabilizing the stream system and
watershed? Are you seeking assistance for the planning or
implementation stage, or both?
The purpose of this project is to restore eroded earth
creek banks and bottoms and help prevent flooding of
private properties and public streets. The current ero-
sion problem is threatening backyards of residences along
the creek and the eroded earth material is being washed
downstream where it obstructs street culverts with result-
ing flooding. It is also planned to remove debris from
the creek which obstructs the flow of storm water.
Assistance is sought for this implementation
(construction) stage.
Total Project Budget: $ 35,000
Total Grant Request: $ 35.000

Ii. Describe the
r—eaaw9storstion or watershed •age t techniques you
will use. No ill these techniques or mans& At measures stabilize
the watershed and how will they restore or enhance or preserve a
riparian environment? Attach design specifications. ®anagea eat plans.
Environmental Impact Reportsp or other documents that may help describe
the project.
The creek banks and bottom will be restored using rock
rip -rap. Filter fabric will be placed between the eroded
earth bank and the rock. This filter fabric prevents
further erosion of the earth bank. Low rock check dams
will also be placed where needed to slow creek velocities
to prevent erosion to earth banks that are currently
stabile and not in need of repair. Some grouting of the
rock may also be required due to steepness of the creek
banks. Debris will also be removed where needed.
The above described measures will restore the creek and
stabilize the banks and bottom.
Please refer to attached drawing.
III. Is this project a supplement to or being planned in
or cooperative local—federal flood control project?
the agencies and organizations involved, the stage
process, and the currently proposed plans.
No.

design and/or plementation of the project. at citizen organization
are sponsoring or supporting this project?
This public agency will design plans and prepare
specifications for competitive bid for the creek restora-
tion project. The project is supported by the residents
of the area that are effected by the bank erosion
threatening their properties and flooding of the area.
The proposed project is also supported by the area's
Homeowners' Association.
V. What educational benefits will be derived for the public and what
technical contributions to the problem of stream restoration or stream
corridor management may this project provide?
This project will provide for the restoration of creek
banks and bottoms and the removal of debris at a minimal
cost. The creek will be left in a close to natural state
as opposed to solving the erosion and flooding problem by
constructing a concrete channel.
VI. What will you submit to the Department of Water Resources that describes
the methods and results of your project?
Plans and specifications for the project that describe and
show the restoration work. Photographs will also be
submitted after project completion.
-3-
VII. What are your na for long-term management c )aintenanee of the
streams) you am* managing or restoring?
Repair erosion damage to stream banks and bottom on an as
needed basis. If project proceeds this work should be
minimal. The stream is cleaned once a year by City main-
tenance forces of debris and excessive plant growth that
would obstruct storm water flow.
VIII. If you do not receive your grant request, what other options do you have
to meet your project objectives? If your grant proposal was selected
for partial funding, what components of your project would you choose
for priority funding?
If the grant is not received other funds to complete the
project are not available.
If the project was only partially funded then only a few
of the eroded areas can be restored.
IX. The legislation authorizing this program requires that the applicant
provide an unspecified local contribution to the costs of the project.
This contribution can be financial, materials, labor, volunteer labor,
staff time, land easements, etc. State how you will meet this
requirement.
The City will provide for cost of engineering design,
inspection, and contract administration for the project.
-4-
X. Project budget end Undule
Your budget must designate what project costs will recaive local
contributions. Quantifyo when possible, the components of your planning
or design process, and the areal extent of restoration workv labor
materials and equipment requirements. Designate the dates you plan
to begin and finish the work.
If grant is received for restoration, City will provide
engineering design, Inspection, and contract administra-
tion for the work.
If the grant is received, work would probably commence in
the summer of 1988 and be completed within a month there-
after.
