Section 408 permit application from Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, through Los Angeles County Flood Control District, to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to drill four geotechnical borings each in Los Angeles and San Gabriel River Channels, and two geotechnical borings in Rio Hondo Channel.  The boreholes will measure less than 1-foot in diameter and will be drilled to a maximum depth of 150 feet below the ground surface. The total volume of excavated material for all of the boreholes will not exceed 50 cubic yards of soil.  The holes would be backfilled with a cement/sand slurry, and then covered with grout/or ready-mix concrete surface plugs to mimic the existing concrete-lined channels, restoring the areas to pre-activity contours and conditions.  The purpose of the project is to design the proposed West Santa Ana Branch Transportation Corridor, a new light rail transit line connecting downtown Los Angeles to southeast Los Angeles County.
