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 />
