Summary

Council adopted the initial study and mitigated negative declaration (and the mitigation monitoring and reporting program) for the Beaumont Master Drainage Plan Line 2 Stage 1 project, a near-mile storm-drain installation including a proposed 102-inch RCP in the Pennsylvania corridor.

City staff presented the Master Drainage Plan Line 2 Stage 1 project and recommended adoption of an initial study and mitigated negative declaration (MND) and a mitigation monitoring and reporting program (MMRP). Staff described the alignment as nearly 5,000 linear feet and said the proposal would install a 102-inch reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) through the Pennsylvania corridor.

"It proposes to install, a 102 inch RCP through the Pennsylvania corridor," staff said during the presentation, noting the project's scale and connection to the Pennsylvania grade separation project. Staff added the study was circulated for 30 days and reported no public comments. After closing the hearing with no speakers, a council member moved to adopt the MND and MMRP; the motion was seconded and adopted on roll call.

Council emphasized the project's importance for flood control and coordinated future construction sequencing with the grade separation work.
