A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HUNTINGTON BEACH SUPPORTING THE ALL RIVER PLAN
DEVELOPED BY THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS
WHEREAS, the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers
has been conducting Santa Ana River Basin flood control studies
for the past eighteen 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
An All River Plan has been developed to remove such flood
threat by modifying Prado Dam, performing channel work in Orange
County and constructing a new dam at Mentone, and such plan
has been approved by the Boards of Supervisors of Riverside, San
Bernardino and Orange Counties , and approved at all Federal
levels , lacking only authorization of the Congress; and
Special water interests in San Bernardino County have re-
cently requested construction of alternative dams rather than
the proposed Mentone Dam, and the Army Corps of Engineers has indi-
cated that a feasibility study is required for this phase of
the All River Plan; and
It is reasonable to expect that while such feasibility study
is conducted, the remainder of the All River Plan, i.e. , re-
construction of Prado Dam and Oak Street Drain and channel im-
provement work in Orange County, can be carried out without un-
due delay,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Huntington Beach that it supports the Army Corps of
Engineers ' All River Plan, and urges that authorization to pro-
ahb
2/16/83 1.
Geed with the Plan be obtained with the utmost dispatch, and that
the present projected real property acquisition line in Prado
Reservoir be retained at an elevation of 566 feet..
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of
Huntington Beach at a regular meeting thereof held on the 22nd
day of February 1993.
