The NED Plan<br />
With the Channel Modifications increment dropping from the Federal Interest, the optimized<br />
Chevron Levee becomes the NED Plan.<br />
The Tentatively Recommended Plan<br />
The only difference between the Tentatively Recommended Plan and the NED Plan is the height<br />
of the chevron levee. The height of the chevron levee for the local plan must meet State of<br />
California requirements of being at least 3 feet above the with-project 200 year mean WSEL.<br />
This means a levee that is about 7.5 to 10 feet tall or approximately 2 feet taller than the federal<br />
interest levee.<br />
Benefits and Costs<br />
A more rigorous and detailed MCACES cost estimate was performed for the NED Chevron<br />
Levee and the LPP (Alternatives 2 and 3 respectively). Benefits and costs for these alternatives<br />
are provided in Table E- 10 below.<br />
