Parks and Recreation / Originator  FUNDING SOURCE: DEQ 319 Grant – Partner with Valley Soil and Water Conservation District Airport      Library    TIMELINE: October 11, 2018 Information Systems      Grant Coordinator    SUMMARY STATEMENT: Staff has been working jointly with the Valley Soil and Water Conservation District and Bill Lillibridge a Civil Engineer with the district to assess and mitigate significant stream bank erosion along the North Fork of the Payette River at Riverfront Park. The Valley Soil and Water Conservation District currently has DEQ 319 funding to fund the project. Design work is complete, and the next step is to file the 404 Joint Application for Encroachment in the river with the State and Army Corps of Engineers. The full scope of work is still yet to be determined, however the design and permit are intended to address the worst-case scenario. If it is determined that less work or mitigation will be sufficient to fully mitigate the problem we can trim back the scope in the design and permit without falling out of compliance with the encroachment permit. In summary we are allowed to do less than what is permitted but we can’t do more than what is permitted. The City will have a match requirement which we intend to meet through the value of the rocks we are getting for free from M.A. DeAtley Construction, Inc. who are doing the work on the Warren Wagon Road Construction project this fall. These rocks are already on site and ready to use. Additional match will come from in kind labor, and re-vegetation efforts done in house with parks staff and volunteer work. It is our goal to get the attached design permitted through the 404-application process so that we can begin mitigation efforts while we have access to the DEQ 319 funding with the Valley Soil and Water Conservation District.  RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve the Mayor to sign the Joint Application with the Valley Soil and Water Conservation District for 404 Permit as it relates to the design for mitigation efforts along the North Fork of the Payette River any necessary documentation tied to the 404 permits.
