On the recordOctober 23, 2013
Like everybody else here today, let me thank you for you leadership, not only on this bill, but on the overall Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. It is truly bipartisan. Secondly, I want to talk about the flood-control project impacting residents of my district that I have been working on for more than a decade. The Chief's Report is in: Orestimba Creek and San Joaquin River Basin near the city of Newman, located in my district. The Army Corps has officially endorsed the authorization of a plan for flood-risk management by constructing a levee along the city of Newman's northwestern perimeter known as the Chevron Levee. This project is a local partnership with the city of Newman and the County of Stanislaus and was initiated over a decade ago. The CHAIR. The time of the gentleman has expired.
