The current study is to evaluate the nature of the problem and potential solutions tc

damage potential and the cost of potential mitigation measures. Based on the coz
analysis, it will be determined if a sufficient Federal interest exists to move to the f(

Subsequent projects developed by this program would involve local funding.
Staff is currently assisting the Corps with data collection.
The Corps will be seeking local input from the community at a public hearing sc for April 15, 1993 at the Senior Center at 7:OO p.m.
