SUMMARY
On December 30, 2020, the TAC submitted a Notice of Interest (NOI) for FEMA’s hazard mitigation grant funding for the Oro Loma Interim Levee, which is identified in the Shoreline Adaptation Master Plan. A response to the NOI is expected by the end of January. If successful, HASPA will be invited to submit a detailed grant application by May 1, 2021.
The Oro Loma Interim Levee project is intended to protect the Oro Loma wastewater treatment plant, nearby residential areas, San Lorenzo Community and the surrounding industrial district from flooding. It includes a flood protection levee designed to meet today’s 1% annual chance flood with allowance for mid-range sea level rise but with a foundation system that allows for the levee to be elevated in the future to accommodate a higher elevation with sea level rise. The project also includes a new Bay Trail spur extending inland from the shoreline and could provide a connection across the rail line to San Lorenzo Community Park. A new tide gate and pump station on Bockman Canal is also proposed, which would be planned in coordination with Alameda County Flood Control District.
A memorandum with additional information is attached.
