RESOLUTION NO · 83-20
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
TUSTIN, CALIFORNIA REQUESTING THE AUTHORIZATION
AND IMMEDIATE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ALL RIVER PLAN
WHEREAS, the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers has been
conducting Santa Ana River Basin flood control studies for the past 18-years
and has determined that the flood threat to Orange County posed by the Santa
Ana River is the worst west of the Mississippi River due to deficiencies in
the Corps of Engineers' Prado Dam and Reservoir located on the river at
Corona; and
WHEREAS, the Corps of Engineers has developed an Ail River Plan for
removing the flood threat from the Santa Ana River consisting of 'modifying
Prado Dam, channel .work in Orange County and the construction of a new dam at
Mentone; said plan has been endorsed by the Boards of Supervisors of
Riverside, San Bernadino and Orange Counties and approved at all Federal
levels up to the Secretary of the Army and the next logical step is
authorization by Congress; and
WHEREAS, special water interests in San Bernadino County have
belatedly raised questions about the Mentone Dam unit of the Ail River Plan
and have proposed alternative d.ams and the Corps of Engineers has studied and
reported inconclusively on the feasibility of said dams as a substitute for
Mentone Dam indicating the need for further study; and
WHEREAS, it is entirely feasible to undertake the design and
construction of Prado Dam modifications, the Oak Street Drain and channel
improvement work in Orange County concurrently with a final determination of
the Mentone vs. Alternatives question.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Tustin City Council favors
the authorization without further delay of the Ail River Plan including
Mentone Dam or an alternative to Mentone Dam with adjustments in the final
design such that the real property acquisition line in Prado River Reservoir
remains the same as in current All River Plan at elevation 566 feet.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Tustin,
California, this 7th day of March, 1983.
