San Bernardino County Flood Control District Hawker Crawford Storm Drain Project receives FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Grant to assist funding for eligible mitigation measures that reduce disaster losses.
As the result of a Presidential Disaster Declaration, FEMA’s Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) funds plans and projects that reduce the effects of future natural disasters. In California, these funds are administered by the Cal OES HMGP Unit. Eligible subapplicants include state agencies, local governments, special districts, and some private non-profits.
The Hawker Crawford Storm drain project consists of a 1,700-foot-long reinforced concrete box channel from the existing Hawker Crawford channel box culvert to the San Sevaine Basin #1 in the City of Rancho Cucamonga to mitigate impacts from stormwater overflows. The proposed project is to divert the existing rectangular concrete Hawker Crawford Channel from its original alignment crossing and under Beech Avenue to the south and then west direction, to turn the channel into a single 20’ W x 10’ H Reinforced Concrete Box Culvert and go west under Beech Avenue to San Sevaine Basin #1 at the southwest corner of Cherry Avenue and Beech Avenue. The proposed project is selected for Public Safety; protection of local and downstream infrastructure by reducing peak discharge and protecting downstream properties from flooding.
The project will cost $8,681,000. Federal and local funds will share the costs of the project with federal providing $6,510,750 and local agency supporting $2,170,250.
The project is slated to start construction in September 2025 and concluding in March of 2026.
