Administration (FDA) plans to

consolidate the functions of several of

its California facilities as recommended

Draft Environmental Impact Statement/

Report for Norco Bluffs Bank

Stabilization Measures, Norco, CA

AGENCY: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,

Los Angeles District, DoD.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Army Corps of

Engineers and the Riverside County

Flood Control and Water Conservation

District propose to stabilize the Norco

Bluffs banks which are located along the

Santa Ana River in the City of Norco,

California. The toe of the bluffs has

undergone substantial erosion resulting

in the collapse of sections of the bluff

and the endangerment of approximately

56 structure, roadways, and utilities

along the bluff. Two alternatives are

under consideration. The National

Economic Development Alternative is

the construction of an earthen toe

protection structure with soil cement

erosion protection. The Locally

Preferred Plan is the preferred

alternative, and consists of toe

protection with stabilization of the bluff

slope using buttress fill.
