This memorandum provides a status report on the Shoreline Levee and Sea Level Rise Project, which aims to reduce flood risk and restore the shoreline in the South San Francisco Bay. The project is managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers in partnership with local agencies. Construction for the initial reaches is nearing completion, while design work for later reaches was paused due to cost overruns. Recent funding has allowed design work to resume, and negotiations are ongoing for land transfers necessary for project completion.

Key points
  • The Shoreline Levee Project aims to provide flood risk reduction and shoreline restoration.
  • The project is managed by the US Army Corps of Engineers with local partnerships.
  • Construction for Reaches 1-3 is nearing completion, expected to finish in 2025.
  • Design work for Reaches 4 and 5 was paused due to cost overruns but has resumed following additional funding.
  • Negotiations are ongoing for land transfers required for the project.
Limitations

The document is a status report on the Shoreline Levee and Sea Level Rise project, managed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) with local sponsorship from the Santa Clara Valley Water District. The project aims to provide coastal flood risk management and restore habitat. Work was paused in September 2021 due to cost escalations, but additional federal funding was secured in February 2023, and a value-engineering exercise is underway. A non-binding Letter of Intent has been executed between the City and Valley Water, with plans for a binding MOU to be presented for approval. Key terms of the MOU include fair market value land transactions and ensuring no liabilities for the Regional Wastewater Facility. Land transfer is anticipated in summer 2026.
