HISTORIC PROPERTIES: The Corps will initiate consultation with the State Historic Preservation Officer under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, as appropriate.ĮNDANGERED SPECIES: The proposed activity may affect Federally-listed endangered or threatened species or their critical habitat. The applicant has indicated they have applied for certification. OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AUTHORIZATIONS: Water quality certification or a waiver, as required under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, is required for this project. The applicant has proposed to purchase mitigation bank credits at a Corps approved mitigation bank. If the applicant is unable to avoid or minimize all impacts, the Corps may require compensatory mitigation. The Corps requires that applicants consider and use all reasonable and practical measures to avoid and minimize impacts to aquatic resources. All reasonable project alternatives, in particular those which may be less damaging to the aquatic environment, will be considered. Other alternatives may develop during the review process for this permit application. Additional information concerning project alternatives may be available from the applicant or their agent. The applicant has not provided information concerning project alternatives. The other two land cover types, developed and landscaped, are associated with human activities.Īlternatives. Three of the land cover types are considered natural communities: nonnative riparian woodland, tidal emergent wetland, and tidal perennial drainage. A total of five land cover types were identified in the project area. The site is characterized by landscaped or developed areas, primarily consisting of residential areas on Atherton Island, and along Atherton Cove and Smith Canal, Stockton Golf and Country Club, Dad’s Point and Louis Park. There are approximately 38.73 acres of waters of the United States, including wetlands, within the project area. The attached drawings provide additional project details.Įnvironmental Setting. The applicant states that isolation of the Smith Canal from the San Joaquin River would remove the potentially affected area from the 100-year floodplain, which would contribute toward a 200-year level of performance in combination with other projects compliant with State laws. The applicant believes there is a need to be consistent with State law, and provide a minimum 200-year level of flood-risk reduction performance by 2025. The gate would be closed only as needed for flood control, remaining open to allow for tidal movement, navigation, and recreation in Smith Canal.īased on the available information, the overall project purpose is to reacquire Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) accreditation that was revoked in 2009, and remove the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) designation from the Central Stockton area. During high flow and tide events, the gate structure would isolate Smith Canal from the San Joaquin River and allow existing levees to function as a secondary flood risk‐reduction measure. The proposed project would consist of a fixed wall, filled with granular material, that would extend approximately 800 feet from the north end of Dad's Point, to the right bank of the San Joaquin River at the Stockton Golf and Country Club, and would feature a 50‐foot‐wide gate structure. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: SJAFCA is proposing to implement flood risk–reduction measures in the vicinity of Smith Canal, Atherton Cove, and the San Joaquin River, in and adjacent to the City of Stockton. LOCATION: The project site is located on the San Joaquin River, Latitude 37.958141°, Longitude -121.349230°, in the City of Stockton, San Joaquin County, California, and can be seen on the Stockton West USGS Topographic Quadrangle.

This notice is to inform interested parties of the proposed activity and to solicit comments. Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento District, (Corps) is evaluating a permit application to construct the Smith Canal Gate Project, which would result in permanent impacts to approximately 0.663 acre and temporary impacts to 0.757 acre of waters of the United States, including wetlands, in and adjacent to the San Joaquin River.
