Project Description

The District is proposing to construct a floodwall along the top of the existing earthen levee, from #7 Vendola Drive, just east of the Meadow Drive Bridge, to Pump Station 5, which is just east of #825 Vendola Drive. The total length of the floodwall would be about 7,200 feet, and the maximum width would be about 14 inches. The District’s objective for the Project is to provide protection for the Santa Venetia neighborhood from the 100-year flood for the 30-year design life of the Project.
