AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Declaring an Emergency Condition Requiring the Immediate
Repair of Mokelumne Riverbank at Lodi Lake Park
MEETING DATE: January 19, 2022
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt Resolution Declaring an Emergency Condition Requiring the
Immediate Repair of Mokelumne Riverbank at Lodi Lake Park.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: A portion of the riverbank on the Mokelumne River that runs along
the northern boundary of Lodi Lake Park, has been severely eroded
in past years and is threatening park facilities. The erosion has
exposed irrigation lines, tree roots, and is causing the collapse of concrete retaining wall structures. The
City initiated a State funded project to repair this portion of river in 2019, however, unprecedented delays
in the State permitting process has delayed this project for two years.
City Council awarded the Lodi Lake Riverbank Stabilization Project to ASTA Construction Company of
Rio Vista on December 1, 2021. While work can proceed outside of the riverbank area at this time, the
City is still waiting for the State Land Commission (SLC) approval to allow work to be performed within
the riverbank area. This final layer of approval is expected on February 25, 2022.
From final SLC approval (February 25, 2022) to the time Woodbridge Irrigation District (WID) raises the
river water level (March 6, 2022), the contractor will only have 10 days to restore the portion of riverbank
that lies below the normal river water levels. This tight schedule requires the contractor to work
weekends to complete the work on schedule.
The Declaration of Emergency is needed since the rock is sourced from the Amador Quarry which is
licensed to operate during weekdays unless there is a declared emergency. If the riverbank restoration
cannot be completed prior to WID raising the Woodbridge Dam, this project will be postponed another
year allowing further riverbank erosion.
For this reason, Staff recommends City Council adopt a resolution declaring an emergency condition
requiring the immediate repair of Mokelumne Riverbank at Lodi Lake Park which will allow the quarry to
operate on weekends to supply rock needed for the riverbank restoration.
FISCAL IMPACT: There will be a slight increase in project cost which is within the project
contingencies.
