Discussion:
During the 2019 Winter Storms, County crews cleared and opened roads to the public by hauling tree and slide debris to various sites throughout the County. As part of TPW’s contribution to the recovery effort, these projects are a step to restore and rebuild our County’s infrastructure. The 2019 Flood Tree Debris Removal Project will include removal of approximately 2,500 cubic yards of tree debris stockpiled at the Annapolis Transfer Station and Sonoma County Airport Yard. The 2019 Flood Slide Debris Removal (County Project M31824-SDR) will include removal of approximately 9,500 cubic yards of slide debris stockpiled at Annapolis Road, Lake Sonoma, and various locations along Stewarts Point-Skaggs Springs Road.
TPW is seeking reimbursement from Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for the project costs. The projects are categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act pursuant to California Public Resources Code Sections 21080(b)(3) and (b)(4), and California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 15269. This project is also exempt as a minor alteration to land under California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 15304.
