DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Draft Environmental Impact Statement/Report for Norco Bluffs Bank
Stabilization Measures, Norco, CA
AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District, DoD.
ACTION: Notice of availability.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Riverside County
Flood Control and Water Conservation District propose to stabilize the
Norco Bluffs banks which are located along the Santa Ana River in the
City of Norco, California. The toe of the bluffs has undergone
substantial erosion resulting in the collapse of sections of the bluff
and the endangerment of approximately 56 structure, roadways, and
utilities along the bluff. Two alternatives are under consideration.
The National Economic Development Alternative is the construction of an
earthen toe protection structure with soil cement erosion protection.
The Locally Preferred Plan is the preferred alternative, and consists
of toe protection with stabilization of the bluff slope using buttress
fill.
