Public Meeting Planned to Discuss Tree Removals on Elk Grove Levees
Elk Grove, CA – The City of Elk Grove will host a public meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 6 to inform the community about tree, shrub and other vegetation removals on the levees near Stonelake Apartment Homes and Nottoli Park in Elk Grove.
The City of Elk Grove has approximately four miles of levees located in an urbanized area within the western part of the City adjacent to Interstate 5. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) has determined that a portion of Elk Grove’s levees do not meet federal requirements. Currently, there are trees, shrubs and plants located within a “vegetation-free zone” that could potentially compromise the structural integrity of the levees and impede flood-fighting and assistance efforts in the event of a natural disaster.
