| Project Name: |
Laguna Creek Restoration and Flood Protection Project |
| City/County: |
Moraga, Contra Costa County |
| Comment Period: |
10/22/2024 - 11/11/2024 |
| Project Description: |
The Town of Moraga proposes to daylight and restore the reach of Laguna Creek where its flow is conveyed around an existing structure (known as the Pavilion) because the capacity of the existing stormwater conveyance system is exceeded when high flows associated with large storm events in the channel overtop the bank and inundate the Pavilion. After studying several option, the Town ·of Moraga determined that daylighting and restoring the creek to a natural drainage channel with ecological value would be the preferred method to mitigate flooding. The proposed project would also provide public access improvements and utility relocation. |
