The Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (District) does not normally
recommend conditions for land divisions or other land use cases in incorporated cities. The District also
does not plan check City land use cases or provide State Division of Real Estate letters or other flood
hazard reports for such cases. District comments/recommendations for such cases are normally limited
to items of specific interest to the District including District Master Drainage Plan facilities, other
regional flood control and drainage facilities which could be considered a logical component or extension
of a master plan system, and District Area Drainage Plan fees (development mitigation fees). In addition,
information of a general nature is provided.
The District's review is based on the above -referenced project transmittal, received March 1, 2022. The
District has not reviewed the proposed project in detail, and the following comments do not in any way
constitute or imply District approval or endorsement of the proposed project with respect to flood hazard,
public health and safety, or any other such issue:
❑ This project would not be impacted by District Master Drainage Plan facilities, nor are other
facilities of regional interest proposed.
® This project involves District proposed Master Drainage Plan facilities, namely, Palm Springs
MDP Line 17. The District will accept ownership of such facilities on written request of the
City. Facilities must be constructed to District standards, and District plan check and inspection
will be required for District acceptance. Plan check, inspection, and administrative fees will be
required.
❑ This project proposes channels, storm drains 36 inches or larger in diameter, or other facilities
that could be considered regional in nature and/or a logical extension of the adopted Palm Springs
Master Drainage Plan. The District would consider accepting ownership of such facilities on
written request of the City. Facilities must be constructed to District standards, and District plan
check and inspection will be required for District acceptance. Plan check, inspection, and
administrative fees will be required.

GENERAL INFORMATION
This project may require a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the
State Water Resources Control Board. Clearance for grading, recordation, or other final approval should
not be given until the City has determined that the project has been granted a permit or is shown to be

If this project involves a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) mapped floodplain, then the
City should require the applicant to provide all studies, calculations, plans, and other information
required to meet FEMA requirements, and should further require that the applicant obtain a Conditional
Letter of Map Revision (CLOMR) prior to grading, recordation, or other final approval of the project
and a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) prior to occupancy.
If a natural watercourse or mapped floodplain is impacted by this project, the City should require the
applicant to obtain a Section 1602 Agreement from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and
a Clean Water Act Section 404 Permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, or written
correspondence from these agencies indicating the project is exempt from these requirements. A Clean
Water Act Section 401 Water Quality Certification may be required from the local California Regional
Water Quality Control Board prior to issuance of the Corps 404 permit.
