Emergency Roadway Protection Measures - Jenks Lake and Forest Falls Communities

The Emergency Roadway Protection Measures project for the Jenks Lake and Forest Falls communities in Apple Valley, California, is managed by the San Bernardino County Department of Public Works. The scope of work involves critical structural repairs and the removal of sediment, rock, and debris that have accumulated along roadways and within drainages both upstream and downstream of roads and road culverts. To execute these removal actions, the project will utilize heavy equipment as appropriate to ensure the restoration and stability of the infrastructure. This project is classified as a forecast with a posted date of September 22, 2026. Due to the urgent need to maintain public health, safety, and welfare, the San Bernardino County Department of Public Works filed a Notice of Exemption on September 15, 2026, asserting that these emergency measures are exempt from CEQA requirements under sections 15269(b) and (c). Primary points of contact for the project include Supervising Planner Michele Derry and Engineering Manager Arlene B. Chun.
