In the spotlight

Notice of intent to issue a proposed mitigated negative declaration

Revision to Local Drainage Areas “BL” and “BM” and Expansion of a Stormwater Retention Basin near Church and Armstrong Ave. (Basin “BL”)

The Drainage Area “BL” system is being expanded by approximately 1/8th of a mile to the Briggs Canal and will shift 49.4 acres to Drainage Area “BM”.  FMFCD is also proposing to expand Basin “BL” by 6.5 acres to provide stormwater storage capacity to account for changes in land use.  Drainage Area “BM” will remove 370.7 acres east of the Briggs Canal from the drainage area.

The Initial Study can be reviewed by clicking here.  To be considered, comments must be received by September 25, 2010.
