Bradley Channel - Jones to Main Street Repairs

The Bradley Channel - Jones to Main Street Repairs project, managed by the Santa Barbara County Flood Control District, involves the repair and replacement of concrete channel lining within a drainage ditch in Santa Maria, California. The scope of work includes the removal of an obsolete maintenance bridge to improve equipment access, the removal and re-grading of a 140 linear foot section of the east channel wall to install a new access ramp, and the replacement of deteriorating concrete lining along the western side of the channel for a 0.5 mile stretch between Jones Street and Main Street. All work must maintain the same general alignment and configuration as the existing facility. The project is scheduled for execution in two phases, with the bridge removal occurring in 2026 and the access ramp and concrete repairs following in 2027. This project is classified as categorically exempt under CEQA Section 15301 as it involves maintenance and minor alterations to an existing facility without expanding its use. The primary point of contact for the project is Environmental Manager Andrew Raaf. The work is categorized under NAICS code 237990 and is located in an area with no public access constraints.
