BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In November 2007, the Governor signed into law several flood control bills. As a result of these bills, major changes in flood protection requirementsare expected over the coming years in the Sacramento - San Joaquin Valley. Senate Bill 5 (SB 5) provides the most significant requirements and changes to flood protection. SB 5 requires a plan to reach 200 -year levels of flood protection for urban and urbanizing areas by 2012 and requires 200 -year levels of flood protection to be in place by 2025. State funding priorities for flood control projects require federal participation. The San Joaquin Area Flood Control Agency (SJAFCA) and San Joaquin County have been meeting with the State Department of Water Resources and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) to discuss a feasibility study to develop a project that would provide flood protection for the urban areas of Stockton, Lathrop, Manteca, the Lodi wastewater treatment plant, and unincorporated areas of San Joaquin County. The study area includes the Lower San Joaquin River, from the southern end of San Joaquin County to the northern boundaries Cf the City of Stockton, up to and including the Lodi wastewater treatment plant adjacent to Interstate 5 near Thornton Road. Considering the objective of Lodi's participation in the amount of $17,731 is to flood -protect our 1.000 -acre wastewater treatment plant, the cost benefit ratio is favorable to Lodi. The cost for the Lower San Joaquin River Feasibility Study is estimated at $8 to $10 million. Cost -shares will consist of 50% from the Corps, 25% from the State, and 25% from local agencies. Assuming a $10 million study cost, the local share is $2.5 million, Using a formula based upon levee miles, the Lodi share is $17,731 that would be paid over a five- year period. The largest shares have been assigned to SJAFCA (40%) and San Joaquin County (15%), with the remainder divided amongst a number of Reclamation Districts, Stockton, Lathrop. Manteca and Lodi. FISCAL IMPACT: The study will cost $3,546 per year for five years. FUNDING AVAILABLE: This capilpil expenditure is not contained in the FY 08/09 budget and an approqoiA,of $17,731 is required from the Wastewater Capital Fund. FW Slpmf Budget Manager ,'baAd- F.
