ITEM 4. 12
CITY MANAGER' S REPORT
ULY 11, 2022 CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING
ITEM: ADOPT 2022 ADEQUATE PROGRESS FINDING
TOWARD PROVISION OF 200- YEAR URBAN LEVEL OF
FLOOD PROTECTION FOR ISLAND RECLAMATION
DISTRICT 2062 ( RIVER ISLANDS PHASES 1 AND 2)
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution Adopting 2022 Adequate Progress Findings toward providing a 200- Year Urban Level of
Flood Protection in Phases 1 and 2 Levees of Island
Reclamation District 2062 by the Year 2025, Acting
as the Land Use Agency
SUMMARY:
Senate Bill 5 ( SB5), and related companion bills created a new requirement for certain land use decisions made by cities and counties in the California Central Valley.
Starting on July 2, 2016, prior to approving discretionary land use decisions for nonresidential projects, and prior to approving ministerial land use decisions ( building permits) for new residential buildings, land use agencies are required to make a Finding of Adequate Progress toward provision of Urban Level Flood Protection ( ULOP) 200- year flood protection.
City Council has adopted a series of Adequate Progress Finding Reports ( APR) towards the 200- year ULOP within Reclamation District 2062 ( June 20, 2016, June 5, 2017, July 9, 2018, July 8, 2019, October 12, 2020, and July 12, 2021).
The 2022 APR ( Exhibit A of Attachment C) for Phase 1 and 2 of River Islands will allow the City of Lathrop to continue to issue discretionary permits to commercial uses, and ministerial permits ( building permits) for new residential homes through December 2023 subject to ongoing validation of that finding.
BACKGROUND:
The California Department of Water Resources ( DWR) developed technical and procedural criteria in response to requirements outlined in the Central Valley Flood Protection Act of 2008, enacted by SB5 in 2007 and amended by subsequent legislation ( 2p07 California Flood Legislation). DWR developed the ULDC and ULOP criteria to assist affected cities and counties within the Sacramento- San ) oaquin Valley, in making the findings related to an ULOP before approving certain land use entitlements in accordance with the 2007 California Flood Legislation.

JULY li, 2022 CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING
ADOPT 2022 ADEQUATE PROGRESS FINDING TOWARD PROVISION OF 200-
YEAR URBAN LEVEL OF FLOOD PROTECTION FOR ISLAND RECLAMATION DISTRICT 2062 ( RIVER ISLANDS PHASES 1 AND 2)
The levees constructed for Phase 1 and Phase 2 of River Islands by RD 2062 meet the updated ULDC standards adopted by DWR in May 2012. With the Letter of Map Revision ( LOMR") for Phase 2 levees, along with additional internal drainage improvements by RD 2062, it is expected that all of River Islands will have achieved the ULOP by 2024.
In May 2022, MBK Engineers, the District Engineer for RD 2062, prepared the " River Islands at Lathrop Phase 1 + 2 Areas Report of Adequate Progress Towards Urban Level of Flood Protection Annual Report" or simply " Adequate Progress Report" 2022 APR"). The 2022 APR serves as a strategic plan describing and outlining the steps that the RD 2062 and the City as the land use authority will use to ultimately implement 200- year levee improvements for Phase 1 and 2. RD 2062 Board of Trustees, acting as the Local Flood Management Agency, approved the 2022 Annual Report ( Exhibit A of Attachment C).
One of the ongoing requirements is to annually report to the Central Valley Flood Protection Board on the efforts in working toward completion of the flood protection system. RD 2062 has provided this report ( Attachment D) to CVFPB on behalf of the District and the City.
The River Islands Phase 2 Levee Project construction is complete. The Phase 2 levee supersedes the need for the interior portions of the Phase 1 levee, and so portions of that levee have been removed. The May 2022 APR describes the final steps needed to achieve ULOP, including:
Preparation of deeds and the transfer of real estate rights ( easements) to RD 2062 for the Phase 2 levees.
Progress on Scour Prevention Projects, including evaluation of the potential for erosion and scour failure of the Old River and Paradise Cut Levees, caused by failure of the Old River or Paradise Cut Levee, as well as a separate analysis for the erosion and scour failure of the Cross Levee, due to its proximity to the UPRR embankment. These evaluations initially indicated that six " check dams" are required to address the scour potential. Completion of this analysis and required permitting from the Central Valley Flood Protection Board ( CVFPB) for an encroachment permit to construct the check dams is expected by 2023. It is expected the check dam construction would be completed in 2024.
Seepage analyses associated with the Paradise Cut Setback Levee indicated that underseepage mitigation will be necessary to achieve 200- year level of flood protection. A line of relief wells is proposed between the Paradise Cut Setback Levee and the Main Drain between approximate levee stations 46+ 00 to 71+ 00 to intercept flow during high water events and reduce the exit gradient within the Main Drain. Final design of the relief wells is expected in 2022, with construction expected in 2023.
Completion of the RD 2062 Operation and Maintenance ( O& M) Manual Modernization Project is expected after the construction of the scour prevention projects are complete, scheduled in 2024.

ADOPT 2022 ADEQUATE PROGRESS FINDING TOWARD PROVISION OF 200-
YEAR URBAN LEVEL OF FLOOD PROTECTION FOR ISLAND RECLAMATION DISTRICT 2062 ( RIVER ISLANDS PHASES 1 AND 2)
REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the 2022 Annual Adequate Progress Report Update for a 200- Year ULOP for the RD 2062 ( River Islands Phase 1 and 2) Area, and submission by RD 2062 of this report to the CVFPB ( Attachment D), allows the City of Lathrop, as a Land Use Agency, to rely on the prior findings of Adequate Progress. This will then allow the City of Lathrop to continue to issue within the RD 2062 area, discretionary permits to commercial and ministerial permits ( building permits) for new residential homes while RD 2062 continues to make progress toward establishing ULOP 200- year flood protection through December 2024.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no budget impact to the City as to date, all technical reports and studies have been funded by RD 2062 and River Islands at costs in excess of $ 2 million. This includes City staff time to review these documents.

ANNUAL REPORT
MAY 2022
Prepared by:

M BG/KNEERS
455 University Avenue, Suite 100
Sacramento, California 95825
PURPOSE
Beginning in 2016 and continuing through 2020, the City of Lathrop adopted a finding of adequate progress ( APF) toward an Urban Level of Flood Protection ( ULOP) for the River Islands at Lathrop, Phase 1 urban area, and in 2020 adopted an APF for the Phase 2 urban area, both protected by the RD 2062 levees. When a local land use agency makes an APF, as described in the Urban Leve( of Flood Protection Criteria ( ULOP Criteria), issued by the Department of Water Resources in 2013, Government Code Section 65007 ( a) ( 5) requires the Local Flood Management Agency annually report to the Central Valley Flood Protection Board ( CVFPB) on the progress toward the completion of the flood protection system. This report serves as that Annual Report for 2022. As required by the ULO Criteria, this report will be made publicly available at www. ci. lathrop. ca. us.
RD 2062 is the local flood management agency. This report has been prepared by RD 2062' s District Engineer, MBK Engineers.
ADEQUATE PROGRESS FINDING
The City of Lathrop' s APFs were based on several supporting documents including:
RD 2062' s March 2016 River Is( ands at Lathrop Stage 1 Levee System, Urban Level of F(ood Protection Engineer' s Report;
RD 2062' s January 2017 River Islands at Lathrop Stage 2A and 28 Levees, Adequate Progress Towards an Urban Leve( of F(ood Protection Engineer' s Report; RD 2062' s February 2017 River Islands at Lathrop, Phase 1 Area, Report ofAdequate Progress towards an Urban Level of Flood Protection (APF Report); RD 2062' s August 2020 River Is( ands at Lathrop Phase 2 Levee, Adequate Progress Towards an Urban Leve( of Flood Protection Engineer' s Report; and RD 2062' s August 2021 River ls(ands at Lathrop Phase 2, Report ofAdequate Progress Towards an Urban Level of F(ood Protection.
These documents collectively describe an attainable, reasonable approach toward providing an urban level of flood protection for the River Islands at Lathrop, Phase 1 and Phase 2 Areas by 2025. Specifically, these documents describe the levee system and the urban area it protects; provide substantial evidence, including data and references, demonstrating the levee system will provide an urban level of flood protection; and the scope, schedule, cost and identified sources of funding and their expected timing to provide an urban level of flood protection. The Engineer' s Reports and APF Reports are hereby incorporated by reference.
Pursuant to DWR' s ULOP Criteria, a finding based on adequate progress has an effective period of 10 years or until the finding is superseded, whichever is sooner, provided that the adequate progress requirements per California Government Code Section 65007( a) are met. Based upon this criterion, the finding made by the City of Lathrop based upon the APF is valid until December 31, 2025,' so long as the requirements of Government Code § 65007( a) are met by RD 2062, the local flood management agency.
Pursuant to Government Code Sections 65865. 5, 65962, and 66474. 5, for area protected by SPFC levees, an urban level of flood protection shall be achieved by 2025, therefore, after 2025, a local agency can no longer rely on findings of adequate progress after 2025 for an area protected by SPFC levees.
RD 2062 2
CURRENT URBAN LEVEE SYSTEM
As described in the reports listed above, River Islands at Lathrop has built the urban levee system in phases. For each new phase of work, a new ring levee was designed and constructed to join with the previous phase. Thus, with each new ring levee, the resulting interior levees were removed, and a larger ring levee was formed. The current levee configuration for the River Islands at Lathrop Phase 1 and 2 Areas is shown below. This figure reflects the construction and connection of the Phase 2 levee with the Phase 1 levees ( at one end with the Phase 1, Stage 26 levee, and at the other end with the Phase 1, Cross levee). The Phase 2 levee supersedes the need for the interior portions of the Phase 1 levee, and these portions are identified as " Former levee" in the figure. e . ` ;,, ',,°

PROGRESS
The Phase 1 APF Report identified two construction projects as being necessary to provide an urban level of flood protection to the Phase 1 Area: the River Islands Stage 2B Levee Project( Stage 2B Levee Project) and the scour prevention projects. The Stage 2B Levee Project was completed as reported in the 2018 annual report.
RD 2062 3
w;,;,
Two construction projects were also identified as being necessary to provide an urban level of flood protection to the Phase 2 Area in the Phase 2 APR Report: a scour prevention project, similar to that required for Phase 1, and installation of relief welis.
Finally, both the Phase 1 and Phase 2APF Reports identified non- structural actions required for certification of the levee system.
For simplicity and clarity, and because the Phase 1 levees and Phase 2 levee now protect a single and common urban area, this report and future reports will consolidate the required actions to provide a 200- year level of flood protection to the River Islands at Lathrop urban area. The status of these actions is described below.
SCOUR PREVENTION PROJECTS
As part of the IPE review of the Phase 1 substantial evidence record, the IPE requested that River Islands evaluate the potential for erosion and scour failure of the new urban levees caused by failure of other embankments ( i. e., the federal perimeter project levees and the UPRR embankment).
Initial evaluation and design of the scour prevention projects was completed in 2020 and includes a series of landside fill embankments, i. e." check dams", located between the Phase 1 and 2 levees and the Federal Project levees. The check dams will reduce the exposure time to erosive hydraulic shear stress on the interior levees in the event of breach of the Federal Project levee and/ or the UPRR embankment.
Additional and advanced engineering and design, using higher resolution hydraulic inputs and more robust scour evaluation tools, began in 2021 and was completed in early 2022. Independent review of the final design, and follow- up environmental clearances are underway. River Islands anticipates submitting a revised permit application to reflect the design changes and environmental evaluations in summer 2022.
Schedule
The schedule for this action has changed since last year. Construction was expected to occur in 2022; however, due to design changes, and the need to revise the permit, construction is now scheduled for 2023.

Delays and Changes
As described above, due to design changes, the need for additional environmental clearances, and the need to revise the permit application, construction has been delayed to 2023. Design is nearing completion and revised permitting documenting will be submitted in summer 2023. Permitting is expected to take at least 6- 9 months. The levee system is still on target for being certified for 200- year level of flood protection by 2025. There have been no significant changes to the project' s approach.
PHASE 2 RELIEF WELLS
As part of the design of the Phase 2 levee, seepage analyses associated with the Paradise Cut Setback Levee indicated that underseepage mitigation will be necessary to achieve 200- year level of flood protection. A line of relief wells is proposed between the Paradise Cut Setback Levee and the Main Drain between approximate levee stations 46+ 00 to 71+ 00 to intercept flow during high water events and reduce the exit gradient within the Main Drain. Final design of the relief wells is in progress.
Schedule
The schedule identified in the 2021 APF Report identified schedule delays for design. Relief well design is in progress and expected to be complete in 2022. Additionally, construction/ installation of the relief wells is scheduled for 2022.

Costs and Expenditures
The relief welis were estimated to cost$ 50, 000 in 2021. This estimate will need to be updated once final design is complete, and will be funded by RID.
Delays and Changes
The design of the relief wells was identified as being delayed in the 2021 APF in order to perform additional engineering and design. This design delay will push construction of the relief wells to 2023. No additional delays to the schedule have been identified and the levee system is still on target for being certified for 200- year level of flood protection by 2025. There have been no significant changes to the project' s approach.
RD 20072 O& M MODERNIZATION AND RIGHT- OF- WAY
The ULDC provides requirements to support a modern levee program. This includes ensuring robust operations and maintenance (O& M) practices and procedures and appropriate right-of-way are in place for urban levees. The scope identified in the APF Report remains the same and progress continues to be made. River Islands has granted easements to RD 2062 for the entire embankment, 20 feet landward of the landside toes, and 15 feet waterward of the waterside toes for the Stage 1 levees in 2016 and the RD 2062 5
Stage 2A and Stage 26 levees in 2018. River Islands is currently in the process of granting easements to RD 2062 for Phase 2 levee.
Schedule
The schedule for this action has not changed since the last report. A new O& M Manual for the levee system continues to be developed while the Phase 1 and 2 levees are modified ( i. e., levees are built and removed, features are added). Completion of the effort is expected after the construction of the scour prevention projects, scheduled in 2024. Easements to RD 2062 for Phase 2 will be recorded later this year.

RD 2062 will accomplish these tasks using funds obtained through its annual assessment and/ or through funds provided by RID.
Delays and Changes
There have been no significant delays in developing a new O& M Manual and program for the levee system, nor were there any significant changes to the project' s approach. However, as described above, the O& M modernization will continue to progress until after construction of the scour prevention projects, representing the last construction efforts for urban area.
CONCLUSION
RD 2062 continues to make progress towards providing an urban level of flood protection to the River Islands combined Phase 1 and Phase 2 Areas by 2025. RD 2062 will continue to make progress and report on this progress annually. The next annual report will be submitted in June 2023 unless the entirety of levee improvements for River Islands( Phases 1 and 2) are complete and an Engineer' s Report and other support documentation will be provided in support of the ULOP.
