model for the future of the Shea property as a multiple-use park /
wetlands / flood control retention basin
- Talbert Regional Park - another
possible model for the future of the Shea property if tidal gates could
be inserted into the Wintersburg Channel.
- Natural revegetation - see how
natural vegetation reclaims the property when it lies fallow
- Traffic conditions on Graham Street
- under both peak and non-peak conditions
- Hydrological aspects -
standing water on the property, erosion of the Wintersburg Channel, the
Slater Pump Station, and more
- A tour of the Wintersburg Channel
from Graham to Gothard, featuring substantial silt accumulations and
lush wetlands.
I have notified FEMA that the Shea flood study may be
understating
the flood risk if it did not account for the presence of this silt and
vegetation.

Wintersburg Channel flow into Talbert Lake, Shipley Nature Center, and
