Sorrento Channel Maintenance
Maps 6 & 6a
The project provides for the periodic removal of sediment, hydrophytic vegetation, trash, and debris from two concrete-lined storm water channels in Sorrento Valley. The Project will temporarily affect 0.06 acre of errant wetland vegetation that is growing on accumulated sediment within cement drainage channels.
Pursuant to the 401 the loss of pollution assimilation functions will be mitigated by the retrofitting of three, existing storm drain inlets with Curb Inlet Filters along a 1300-feet section of Sorrento Valley Road, which is in the same industrial/business neighborhood as the two project channels. The location of the Curblet Inlet Filters is shown here.
