The

BURBANK-EASTERN SYSTEM: Initiation of Burbank-Eastern System, Part I is required to provide protection to highly developed residential, business and industrial property in the cities of Glendale and Burbank. Southern Pacific Railroad crosses the flood plain.

THOMPSON-SAN JOSE CREEK CHANNEL:

Initiation of Thompson-San Jose Creek Channel Improvement is required to provide protection of highly developed residential, business and Industrial property in parts of the cities of Pomona, LaVerne and Claremont and the surrounding area in Los Angeles County. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, the Southern Pacific Railroad, the Union Pacific Railroad, the Pacific Electric Railroad, United States Highways 60, 66, 70 and 99 and California State Highway No. 71 cross the flood plain.

CENTINELA CREEK: Completion of Centinela Creek Channel Improvement, Parts I and 2 is required to provide protection to highly developed residential, business and industrial property in the city of Culver City and a large unincorporated area of Los Angeles County. A portion of this channel is to be constructed by California State Division of Highways in conjunction with its Freeway program. United States Highway No. 101A and State Highway No. 7 cross the flood plain.

The initial investment required of local interests in construction of the authorized projec is estimated at $57,942,000 broken down as follows:

Local interests are required to maintain and operate that part of the project authorized subsequent to 1938. The annual cost for maintenance and operation of that portion of the project is estimated at $854,000.

In addition, local interests advise that, prior to I July 1960 they had expended an estimated $400,285,000 in constructing supplemental works, including dams, debris basins, minor channel improvements, storm drains, and other similar improvements. In 1952, residents of Los Angeles County voted and approved a bond issue for the expenditure of $179,000,000 for storm drains to aid in the collection and control of

runoff in Los Angeles County; and, in 1958, an additional bond issue of $225,000,000 for a subsidiary network
of channels, storm drains and supplemental improvements was voted and approved. Many of the improvements
under the Los Angeles County Drainage Area project will provide the required outlets for those storm drains.
Local interests tentatively estimate that the total ultimate cost to them for work supplemental to the Los
Angeles County Drainage Area project will exceed $1,000,000,000.

STATUS OF LOCAL COOPERATION: Local interests have furnished assurances of required local cooperation and
have met all requirements to date. It is expected that future requirements will continue to be met as
needed.

COMPARISON OF FEDERAL COST ESTIMATE: The current Federal cost estimate of $300,000,000 is a decrease of $18,000,000 from the latest estimate ($318,000,000) submitted to Congress. Repricing, utilizing recent bidding experience and applicable contingency allowances resulted in a decrease of $9,138,000. Reduction in quantities further reduced the estimate by $5,190,000. Reanalysis of the requirements for Engineering and Design and Supervision and Administration resulted in an additional decrease of $2,457,000. Receipt of bids showed a decrease of $1,215,000.
