J Street Drain Project

J Street Drain Project

NOTE: Extended review to 1/19/10. The VCWPD proposes to increase the flow capacity of the existing J Street Drain to accommodate runoff from a 100 yr storm event, thereby, reducing potential flooding in residential and commercial areas of the cities of Oxnard and Port Hueneme. The Drain would be maintained according to best management practives identified in the adopted Final Program Environmental Impact Report for Environmental Protection Measures for the Ongoing Routing Operations and Maintenance Program (May 2008). The J Street Drain Project also includes an Emergency Action Plan (EAP). The EAP defines a set of extreme environmental conditions that together constitute an emergency, triggering a predetermined list of actions to temporaily connect the lagoon to the ocean, preventing flooding of developed properties.
