Current Availability: 25 percent PROJECT Turtle Ridge Irvine, California Ms. West prepared a Categorical Exemption for the modification of stormwater conveyance pipes along Shady Canyon Drive between Summit Park Drive and Cloverfield Drive within the Village of Turtle Ridge in the City of Irvine. Runoff had eroded part of the grassy knoll, forming a small trench along the slope of the hill. In addition, water was accumulating on Shady Canyon Drive during the rainy season. The project proposed conveyance pipes to collect runoff at the toe of the slope and convey it into the local storm drain system. Catch basin inlets and street crossfall along Shady Canyon Drive were also proposed to be modified to ensure 100%conveyance of runoff into the storm drain system.
