2. Project Title: McGrath Lake Watershed/McGrath Drain Project
3. Project Purpose – Problem: In 2002 the McGrath Watershed Action Committee identified a deficiency in the design of the
McGrath Drain/Landfill Drain intersection that causes storm waters (5 year event or greater) to overflow the drain channel bank,
sending storm runoff from the flower fields/Bailard Landfill across the Coultas Ranch, causing sheet erosion, and sending sediment
-laden waters westward into McGrath Lake.
4. Project Goals: Maximize the holding capacity of the drain system (25% increase) through grading/reshaping channel banks;
Reduce sediment/erosion within the drains through construction of a sediment trap and channel bank improvements (bank slope reduction, vegetative cover); Reduce blockage of the outflow culvert (hence overflow/flooding) and maintain current wildlife value of the eucalyptus for nesting/roosting habitat by pruning eucalyptus trees
a. Short-term Goals: N/A
