Document Description
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan) proposes to remove vegetation in the Lower Feeder Spillway, which extends from the Lower Feeder pipeline south to the Santa Ana River. Metropolitan proposes to use hand crews using hand-held equipment to remove ruderal vegetation from the southern end of the concrete-lined Lower Feeder Spillway where it discharges to the Santa Ana River. The vegetation is obstructing water flows from the spillway into the Santa Ana River. Metropolitan will access the site and establish a laydown area in the existing patrol road and easement adjacent to the spillway; no vegetation is present at these locations.
