EMERGENCY ROAD REPAIR PROJECT:
Palos Verdes Drive South (PVDS) Landslide Drainage Grading
Robert Maxwell, Liaison, Portuguese Bend Community Association, Rancho Palos
Verdes, stated that there are active landslide areas between Peppertree Drive and the
Portuguese Bend Club. He stated that the dewatering wells used by Abalone Cove
Landslide Abatement District do not work well because of the excessive land movement
in that area and shearing off of the dewatering wells. He noted that much of the water
in the landslide comes from areas of higher elevation including Del Cerro Park, Alta
Mira Canyon, and Portuguese Canyon. He stated that much of the movement on Palos
Verdes Drive South possibly results from the infiltration of water from above and urged
the control of that water, as much as possible, by culverts in Alta Mira Canyon and
Portuguese Canyon.
Discussion ensued between Agency Members and staff.
Member Wolowicz moved, seconded by Member Stern, to approve all of the items on
the Consent Calendar.
The motion carried as follows:
