• Review Evaluation Criteria
incorporated grant migration and CEQA requirements
• Apply criteria to assess which projects best meet grant requirements
17.4M budget/construction by 2020/comparable flood benefit
• Which projects should we carry forward into Project level CEQA
analysis and subject to further 2-D hydraulic modeling?
• Project options not recommended for Project CEQA will be included in
Program CEQA
