Sun. 2/19 1:30 pm John Dyke: Metcalf Bridge. Photos of debris accumulated at the bridge.

Sun. 2/19 4:54 pm Mark Damey: Metcalf Bridge. Hello All, Here is a current photo of the bridge at Metcalf and Coyote. As Mike suspected there is a large amount of debris accumulated in the area. Not sure what can be done with available resources, but we'll continue to keep this in our list of locations to monitor. Please forward this to the appropriate contacts.

Sun. 2/19 5:26 pm Diane Milowicki: Metcalf Bridge. We have a heavy equipment crew out there right now trying to deal with at least some of this. More than we will be able to handle. Chad Grande at SCVWD had indicated to our team that they don't have resources to help.

Sun. 2/19 7:35 pm Kevin O’Connor: Metcalf Bridge. We have an excavator rental in route and our crews will attempt to clear the debris.

Mon. 2/20 8:28 am John Dyke: South San Jose. Los Alamitos Creek looks ok. The area on McKean Rd just south of Harry is still flooded and about ankle deep; somebody (County?) has placed a barricade there. Pics have been uploaded. This will be my last observation of this area until further instructed, as per my conversation with Mark Damey this a.m.

1

Mon. 2/20 9:00 am Patty Cannon to Jani Nair: Metcalf Bridge. As we already knew, there is a large amount of debris in Coyote Creek at the Metcalf bridge (See John's pictures below). Could you coordinate with SCVWD to remove it? As I recall, there is a concern that this debris could contribute to potential flooding that may threaten the PG&E substation at Metcalf.

Mon. 2/20 9:14 am John Dyke: South San Jose. Water continues to pond west of the 2nd (westerly) IBM Dwy but still hasn’t reached the road as of yet. There's a fallen tree nearby, as well, but it looks like someone is already aware of it. Otherwise looks OK.

1

Mon. 2/20 9:14 am John Dyke: South San Jose. Several issues here: 1) Water beginning to pond at the entrance/exit of Metcalf from Monterey Rd (Follow-Up at 10:14 am - There's no Inlets or Catch Basins plugged up there, it's just a low-spot in the road. Fyi...) 2) East bank is continuing to slough off; I witnessed several chunks falling as I was standing there for just a few

FLOODING




minutes. 3) Debris at the southerly mouth of the Metcalf Rd Bridge is continuing to accumulate. Please compare the pics I uploaded yesterday vs the one today. Creek level looks Ok, tho...

Mon. 2/20 10:51 am John Dyke: Forsum Rd. Creek levels rising here. Almost to the top of the outfall #1070. Still a long way to go before it reaches the Coyote Creek Trail.

Mon. 2/20 11:02 am -11:12 am

John Dyke: Metcalf Rd. Rock slide on Metcalf Rd. See geotag info on pic for location. Saw two rock slides in the westbound lane on Metcalf east of Monterey Rd. I’m attaching pics so someone can fwd to DOT for locations thru geotag. Obviously no addresses to attach to the location. I’m going to continue driving east and will be out of cell/data range in a few...

Mon. 2/20 11:43 am John Dyke to Dispatch, Streets: Metcalf Rd. & San Felipe Rd. San Felipe and Metcalf both have multiple mud/rock slides throughout. I'm sending the info to the EOC now.

Mon. 2/20 11:49 am John Dyke: Metcalf Rd. & San Felipe Rd. Metcalf and San Felipe both have multiple mud/rock slides throughout. With San Felipe being the worst—I lost count on how many there are. I took a bunch of pictures but that's probably only about 1/2 of what I saw. There's one HUGE one forming on San Felipe; it hasn't quite reached the road yet, but when it does it's gonna be BIG trouble. I would go so far as to recommend closing San Felipe from Heartland Wy to Metcalf Rd intersection. Just found a safe place to stop. I'll try and get the pics up within the next half hour.

Mon. 2/20 12:24 pm Shelley Guo: Ross Creek. Kevin got DOT crew out at Ross at Cherry. It's covered by DOT. He said not to send PW crew to Ross Creek.

Mon. 2/20 12:33 pm Otto Camara: Berryessa at Coyote. Just an FYI in case this hasn't gotten back to anyone, I drove by the flea market and the pedestrian underpass has flooded looks to have about 18" of water in the center

1

Mon. 2/20 1:25 pm Patty Cannon: Mobile Home Parks. Faulstich Ct., near the three Mobile Home Parks (MHPs, Golden Wheel, River Bend, South Bay) is starting to experience localized flooding; however, no risk to the MHPs; Berryessa at Coyote. Pedestrian underpass at the Flea Market is flooded;

Mon. 2/20 2:13 pm Mark Damey: Penitencia Creek at Maybury. Current update of Penitencia..the water level as has risen ~1'...The freeboard under Mabury at Pine Hollow Cir is approximately 3-4". The sandbag walls along Mabury at Education Park Drive are now in use. The water is beginning to flow against this area. The flooding of Mabury seems imminent.

Mon. 2/20 2:25 pm Rajani Nair from Mark Damey: Mobile Home Parks. URGENT: South Bay mobile home park is beginning to get street flooding. We do not believe is from the Coyote, but

FLOODING




the site drainage may be obstructed due to the Coyote? We should look to pump this location or investigate their storm system.

Mon. 2/20 2:25 pm John Dyke: South San Jose. Pond west of the 2nd IBM dwy on Bailey Rd had how spilled over into the street and caused flooding.

1

Mon. 2/20 2:32 pm Patty Cannon: Mobile Home Parks. URGENT: South Bay mobile home park is beginning to get street flooding, both inside the park and on Faulstitch Ct. We do not believe is from the Coyote, but the site drainage may be obstructed due to the Coyote? We should look to pump this location or investigate their storm system.

1

Mon. 2/20 2:34 pm Patty Cannon: South San Jose. On Bailey Road, near the 2nd driveway entrance to IBM (between Santa Teresa and McKean), there is ponding that is now encroaching into the road, causing localized street flooding.

1

Mon. 2/20 2:40 pm Mark Damey: William St. Area. Update just in from Arroyo way....as you can see the water is approaching the homes along this low point...this is in the Williams St area adjacent Coyote. From Ed Soliz to Mark Damey at 2:29 pm: The Coyote is approaching some low laying backyards on Arroyo way north of E San Antonio St.

3

Mon. 2/20 2:43 pm Patty Cannon: William St. Area. Water level is rising in Coyote Creek behind the homes in the William Street area, on Arroyo Way. (See photos.)

3

Mon. 2/20 2:47 pm John Dyke: Metcalf Bridge. Status Quo at Metcalf Bridge. Debris continues to accumulate at southerly mouth, and east bank is still eroding.

Mon. 2/20 2:50 pm Mark Damey: Penitencia Creek. More Penitencia updates...no urgent issues, just showing conditions and confirming about 1 to 1.5 feet of gain along the corridor. 1st photo is Penitencia at Viceroy; 2nd photo is at Dorel; 3rd phots is at White.

Mon. 2/20 3:02 pm Mark Damey: Mobile Home Parks. Eric confirmed DOT was on site...and the level is low...just a couple of inches...should not affect access at this point. As noted...this is not direct flooding from the Coyote, it appears to be a blockage with the Storm System, possible the discharge into the creek is hydro blocked???

1

Mon. 2/20 3:12 pm John Dyke: Forsum Rd. Outfall is now mostly under water.


FLOODING




I checked the upstream MH and it's still flowing into the creek, but slower than before. I'll keep an eye on this as it might start to reverse flow if the creek level gets too high.

Mon. 2/20 3:17 pm Patty Cannon: Forsum Rd. FYI - Monitoring the drainage from the homes on Forsom Road, North of Metcalf. So far, so good.

Mon. 2/20 3:20 pm Casey Hirasaki: Metcalf Bridge. Checking with Kevin, DOT has requested SCVWD visit and clear debris. DOT is currently out at Metcalf working the landslide, and will check on bridge debris following to see if District has addressed.

Mon. 2/20 3:52 pm Casey Hirasaki: Mobile Home Parks. Hearing from DOT, they are on site and a pump crew is actively pumping over the levee.

1

Mon. 2/20 3:55 pm Jani Nair: Metcalf Bridge. SCVWD will not clean debris unless the right of entry form is signed. Has that been done? Please confirm Mike Liw so DOT can be prepare if required.

Mon. 2/20 3:58 pm John Dyke: Silver Leaf Rd Outfall to Coyote Creek. I checked the upstream MH on Silver Leaf Rd, from the Outfall#450, and the water is at the top of the pipes, but still flowing downstream. I also checked the Inlet inside the mobile home park and it's below 50% capacity (-8 INV/-3 Top of water). Follow-up from Mark Damey at 4:03 pm: It's my understanding DOT is awaiting with pumps if the need arises. We will just continue to monitor this location so they can deploy. Follow-up from John Dyke: Yeah, I saw the pumps there.

Mon. 2/20 4:08 pm Mark Damey from Ed Soliz: Watson Park. Near the soccer field parking lot is holding water about 1' deep. I don't think it from the creek but more from the rain. The creek is high' maybe 75' away from parking lot but it's getting close.

1

Mon. 2/20 4:12 pm John Dyke: Metcalf Rd. Looks like the county has closed off Metcalf Rd at Malech Rd (just east of Monterey Rd).

Mon. 2/20 4:14 pm Mark Damey: Rock Springs. (private driveway) - Update from the field. Rock Springs area water is rising...up approximately 2'. Still about 90' (not vertical) from the road. But we'll continue to monitor! Ed Soliz: Rock Springs. The creek reached the brown gate


FLOODING




about 3pm. The gate is about 90' from the road.

Mon. 2/20 4:17 pm Mark Damey: Nightingale Dr. at Canoas Creek. Canoas Creek (Birdland) area is up ~1'...no local flooding.

Mon. 2/20 4:33 pm Mark Damey: King Rd. Bridge at Upper Penitencia. Urgent Update regarding Penitencia: The recent heavy rains is having a significant impact on Penitencia...nearly all of the bridge crossings E of King have little or no freeboard and the creek seems to be swelling 1 to 1.5 feet with each observation. Here is the latest image from King. There is about 2' from the road at this point.

Mon. 2/20 4:35 pm John Dyke: Metcalf Bridge. Update: just saw DOT folks at the scene and they said the CountySCVWD is going to try and pull some of the debris out of the southerly mouth of the bridge. Follow-up at 4:37 pm: They've also closed off the entrance to Metcalf Rd at Monterey Rd to assist in the aforementioned work. Follow-Up at 4:47 pm: Update to the update: SCVWD showed up with their equipment. I will stick around for a few to catch the action!

Mon. 2/20 4:54 pm Mark Damey: Penitencia Creek at Maybury. Hello All, here is the most recent update for Mabury at Education Park...sandbags are still holding.

Mon. 2/20 5:19 pm Mark Damey: William St. Area. Latest update from Arroyo. (Pictures show water level in creek still below level of driveway at 150 Arroyo.)

Mon. 2/20 5:28 pm Mark Damey: Berryessa at Coyote. Granite Rock Berryessa is closed in both directions due to the road is flooded. There is some flooding in the parking lot for Granite Rock, but it’s isolated to that at this point. Charcot at Zanker. I received an unofficial storm watch report from my wife that Charcot is flooding east and west of Zanker. I've asked Eric to head over to confirm. more info to follow.

2, 3

Mon. 2/20 5:30 pm John Dyke: South San Jose. Bailey Rd is getting worse. 1) The water on both sides of the road, maybe 500' east of the 1st (easterly) IBM DWY, is now starting to reach the edge of pavement. I estimate if the rain keeps up it'll be there in the next few hours. 2) The puddle west of the 2nd westerly IBM DWY is now bigger and the culvert running underneath the driveway itself is at 100% capacity.


FLOODING




3) The bridge to the creek about 1/4mile east of the 1st dwy is rising rapidly. The water level is only +/-1.5' below the soffet of the bridge.

Mon. 2/20 5:35 pm John Dyke: South San Jose. They almost should (close Bailey at this location). That puddle at the west end (of the 2nd westerly IBM driveway) is really bad. I can almost guarantee someone is going to stall out in it in the next few hours. Also Santa Teresa, south of Bailey at Spina Farms, is flooded really bad as well. They already put up signs earlier but that should be closed too, I reckon. Cars are slamming their brakes and crawling thru it!

1

Mon. 2/20 5:42 pm Casey Hirasaki: Story Rd at Remillard Ct. DOT just got a call that the steel plates at Story/Remillard have shifted and undermining occurring. We believe this is due to construction of new Phase IV LTC. Brandon Coco is contacting Huggen, Hoa, and Kevin (inspector) directly with notice.

1

Mon. 2/20 5:42 pm Mike O’Connell: Penitencia Creek at Maybury. 1791 Pine Hollow Circle. I just notified resident we may need to open the double gates that swing in. He has now removed the padlock to allow us to open, but not until needed due to home burglary risk...wet wood so push hard to open if needed. I asked Jenny to put 3 barricades on the street so no one parks there. See photo.

Mon. 2/20 5:52 pm Casey Hirasaki: Story Rd at Remillard Ct. Inspector is on site performing traffic control, contractor has been notified and is heading out to site.

Mon. 2/20 5:52 pm John Dyke: Silver Leaf Rd Outfall to Coyote Creek. Water levels rose slightly but nothing radical. Maybe 1/2'??

Mon. 2/20 5:56 pm Mark Damey: Story Rd at Remillard Ct. FYI - The intense rains has apparently caused a trench failure at one of our PW project at the intersection of Story and Remillard (WB). The contractor and our PW project inspector is on-site correcting the issue. Currently the #3WB lane is closed and may require further closure once the extent of failure and required repair has been determined.

Mon. 2/20 6:07 pm Patty Cannon: 6 pm Update on DOT Storm Watch and PW Flood Watch: Photos available in shared folder on One Drive Area 1: • Penitencia Creek at Maybury. Sandbags holding

Mon. 2/20 6:12 pm Mark Damey: Charcot at Zanker. Eric just confirmed that Charcot is not extensive flooding, possible low surface area accumulation...not a problem at this time. The photos with the tree down is on Oakland Rd at the bridge. Eric notified DOT, placed some flares and traffic control to safe it off. He's in route back for shift change...I will send out an updated roster for the new shift in a few...

FLOODING




Mon. 9/20 8:08 pm Matt Newton: Silver Leaf Rd Outfall to Coyote Creek. - no flooding - measured -5.0 at the CB in Summer Ct in the Village of the Four Seasons Mobile home park. Metcalf Rd. open at Monterey Rd. South San Jose. Bailey Rd - Road closed between Santa Teresa and IBM, possibly to Mckeen Rd. Flooding across the road at the creek culvert. Santa Teresa - Road closed from Bailey Rd to Palm Av flooding across the road.

1

Mon. 2/20 8:23 pm George Osuna: Mobile Home Parks. South Bay Mobile Home Park is currently being pump out by DOT staff, the water is almost completely gone with no flooding to any of the mobile homes.

1

Mon. 2/20 8:49 pm George Osuna: William St. Area. Arroyo Wy and San Antonio is clear, the water level has dropped about 12 inches under the bridge.

Mon. 9/20 8:59 pm Matt Newton: Metcalf Rd. Closed at Maleah Rd. Mon. 2/20 9:21 pm George Osuna: William St. Area. We are in the back yard

of 150 Arroyo Wy. The water level in still about 3 ft. at the lowest point of this home. The water level is over 12 inches lower under the San Antonio bridge and Arroyo Wy.

Mon. 2/20 9:21 pm Scott Katric: The latest data from the Water District's EOC is that the inflow to Coyote Reservoir is now higher than the inflow experienced in January 1997, the last major flood event on Coyote Creek. The gage is still rising, so the following info is based on what is known right now. If the gage continues to rise, I'll follow up with an update later. Based on a 7,000 cfs inflow rate, the City can expect to see similar impacts to those that were experienced on January 26, 1997. The Water District has a flood report for that event and it includes mapping to show areas along Coyote Creek that were flooded as a result of the high flow. I have an electronic copy of the report if the City doesn't have one in its records. The current estimate is that Anderson might reach peak discharge late morning tomorrow, close to noon or a little after, and that it will take 6 to 8 hours to reach downstream of 280 (personally, I think it will be an hour or so later). Unfortunately, the internet service is very slow at the District and so it's hard to send info out. I"ll try to send out a copy of a graph that shows high flow data associated with the 1997 event to help use as a comparative. I'll be stationed at the Water


FLOODING




District's EOC until midnight, so please let me know if I can help you with any information.

Mon. 9/20 9:25 pm Matt Newton: Metcalf Rd. I saw no Work on Metcalf Rd, only a trailer that may have transported equipment. South San Jose. I talked to DOT maintenance at Bailey and Santa Teresa, he said in addition to flooding, there is a mud slide on the mountain and the road is closed from Santa Teresa to Mckean. I am heading over to Harry and Mckean to take a look..

1

Mon. 2/20 9:33 pm George Osuna: William St. Area. 60 South 17th. St. There are few homes that are about 3 ft In the water. The homes are currently vacant no one is living in the homes.

3

Mon. 2/20 9:34 pm Patty Cannon: William St. Area. I just spoke with George and Otto who were at 150 Arroyo Way talking with the owner of the home. Surprisingly, the water level has gone down some in the past few hours and the owner also said the water level at the San Antonio bridge has gone down a good 3' since 10 am this morning. I'm not sure why since the flows have been increasing all day. I'm guessing that a plug of debris must have been pushed downstream. The owner of the home fully anticipates his home to be flooded later tonight. He has some sandbags and asked our inspectors if the City could bring over more. We explained that we cannot and referred him to the sandbag locations available to the public. Although this home owner is preparing, we don't see the other homes in this stretch doing the same. Our inspectors will return in a few hours to check again.

Mon. 2/20 9:36 pm Matt Newton: Almaden Exwy. Almaden Expressway is closed from TRINIDAD to Ogrady according to an officer due to Down power lines. They believe PG&E is working on removing them. The intersection of Camden and Almaden has no power for the traffic signal. Would be good to get stop signs for the intersection.

Mon. 2/20 9:39 pm Patty Cannon: William St. Area. Further north up 17th Street from Arroyo Way, our inspectors learned of three residences that have been flooded at 60 S. 17th Street. They are apparently lower than the Arroyo Way homes. They are vacant. I cannot tell from the photos, but I was told that the homes have about 2 ft of water up to the house.

Mon. 2/20 9:42 pm Patty Cannon: Almaden Exwy. FYI - Almaden Expressway


FLOODING




is closed in one segment and has a signal down in another area. See below. Will coordinate with DOT on the downed-signal.

Mon. 2/20 10:03 pm George Osuna: Rock Springs. 618 Needles and Rock Springs: the private home in the lower creek area is completely cut off due to high water levels. The house has lights unable to make contact, water level up to their gate entrance. Patty Cannon at 10:09 pm: Rock Springs. Thanks George. This has not really changed since Mark checked it on his way home. The horse ranch below there moved their horses out earlier in the week. We are now monitoring for further flooding of the neighborhood.

2

Mon. 2/20 10:08 pm Matt Newton: Almaden Exwy. I just spoke to a PG&E worker who said repair crews have been dispatched to work on this segment of Almaden Expressway between Trinidad and O’Grady. He said there is a guy wire down and 5 broken poles along Almaden Expressway. It will be a few hours until the road will be reopened. I don't know how accurate this is, hope it helps.

Mon. 2/20 10:11 pm Jani Nair: Almaden Exwy. Thanks Matt - I told DOT. According to the news, a tree fell down on Almaden Expressway, so this may be the cause.

Mon. 2/20 10:14 pm Patty Cannon: Rock Springs. Rock Springs water level looks the same as it did a few hours ago. Water up to the gate (see below). SCVWD had said they contacted the horse farm down this lane earlier in the week and that they were leaving voluntarily. George says he can see lights on in the house. Can we confirm with SCVWD that the people left? They are completely cut-off now by water.

Mon. 2/20 10:44 pm Matt Newton: Almaden Exwy. There are no PG&E repair crew on site for the 5 broken Power Poles. These five poles appear to start at Rajkovich Way going south to O’Grady. Once the poles are repaired... the traffic signal at Rajkovich will also need to be repaired since the power lines broke some of the signal heads and mast arm. The traffic signal is holding the wires and broken poles off the ground. I believe this is a county traffic signal. If they haven't been notified yet... can somebody notify them to check out this traffic signal and repair. I have been told there is a separate issue with a guy wire crossing Almaden


FLOODING




Expressway. Oh Rajani, I did find a separate tree down east of the intersection of Almaden Expressway.

Mon. 2/20 11:12 pm Patty Cannon: William St. Area. George / Otto, With the flooding we are starting to see on 17th between Santa Clara and San Fernando, I would like you to check a few more spots in that area. Could you drive south on 17th, across San Carlos and check out those areas as well? They also have houses that run between the street and the creek. 17th bends and connects back with San Salvador at 16th. Please continue to drive down 16th to William and then look at the houses along William, West of the bridge. There are a few houses between the creek and the streets in this area and I would like to know what the water level looks like for them. Follow-Up from EOC_Public_Works: FYI - we had PD go out to those impacted houses to let them know that they should consider leaving. As mentioned before, some of the houses were vacant. In the houses that were occupied, the residents wanted to stay and were familiar with the risk.

Mon. 2/20 11:42 pm Patty Cannon: Scott Katric pointed us to the attached SCVWD report that discusses the 1997 flood, including a discussion on Page 4 regarding the Coyote Creek impacts in a 7,000 cfs event. Currently, the inflows to Coyote Reservoir are almost 9,000 cfs. With Anderson and Coyote both being full and discharging into Coyote Creek, I would suspect that the flowrates we are going to see downstream are at least that.

Mon. 2/20 11:46 pm Patty Cannon: William St. Area. I just read a report by the SCVWD from a similar flood that occurred in 1997. In addition to the areas I previously described on the West side of Coyote Creek, could you also check a nearby neighborhood on the East side of Coyote Creek - along Brookwood Avenue, north of William Street, just across the William St. Bridge from the other areas.

Mon. 2/20 11:53 pm Matt Newton: Forsum Rd. Forsum Outfall - just looked at this location again. The water level looks about the same which is 3 to 4 feet below the bike path. Yes the outfall is covered if it is below the rip rap, I don't know where it is. The area looks like the photos earlier showing the 1400 photo number 3 of 3


FLOODING




Mon. 2/20 11:57 pm Scott Katric: On page 4 of the 1997 report it states that 20 multidwelling units along the Rock Springs neighborhood were flooded with 1-foot of water, and several others in the adjacent Brookwood Drive townhouses had garages impacted. The Water District has mapping showing probable flooded areas for a 7,300 cfs flow rate and it shows between 3 and 4 feet of flooding in most of the Rock Springs area with some areas (center of the street) at 5 to 6 feet deep. This flooding could occur as early as late morning tomorrow and extend for several hours.

Tues. 2/21 12:07 am Matt Newton: Metcalf Bridge. The upstream side of the bridge is getting collecting a lot of trees again like what was seen in earlier photos today. Water level seems about the same as seen in earlier photos. Follow-Up at 12:24 am: Yes, the logs should be removed if possible before they wash downstream and cause a different problem. The news just reported the water levels are at a flood level at the Madrone monitoring station.

Tues. 2/21 12:10 am Matt Newton: Metcalf Rd. The barricades have been removed and Metcalf Rd is open going up the mountain.

Tues. 2/21 12:13 am George Osuna: William St. Area. The water levels have dropped please see before and after of 60 S. 17 Street.

Tues. 2/21 12:24 am John Cannon: Rock Springs. May want to forward this along. (Attached is a photo depicting SCVWD model of extent of flooding in Rock Springs at 7,300 cfs.)

Tues. 2/21 12:27 am Patty Cannon: Metcalf Bridge. Jani, Can you coordinate with DOT and SCVWD to see if they can remove this new batch of debris that is caught at Metcalf?

Tues. 2/21 12:27 am Matt Newton: South San Jose. Bailey Rd - the roads are still closed. The water level across the road has risen higher across Bailey Rd.

Tues. 2/21 12:31 am Otto Camara: King Rd. Bridge at Upper Penitencia. Penintencia Creek is also reseeding by 1' at King Rd Bridge since earlier in the evening.

1

Tues. 2/21 12:41 am Matt Newton: Coyote Ranch Road. Road Closed, this road is not passable and the water appears to be over the Guard Rail.

Tues. 2/21 12:47 am George Osuna: Cherry Ave. Bridge at Ross Creek. We were there about two hours ago the water level had roughly 5ft clearance from bottom of bridge, we are on our way there and again and we will provide you with a

FLOODING




new update.

Tues. 2/21 12:48 am Patty Cannon: Rock Springs. Attached is a model of the flood levels in a 7,300 cfs event in the Rock Springs area near the Central Service Yard. As you can see, the model shows flooding all the way up to Senter Road near the Happy Hollow Market at Senter/Phelan. The model also shows flooding at the structures on the northeast corner of Story & 12th Street. Please continue to monitor the Rock Springs area.

Tues. 2/21 1:02 am Matt Newton: Coyote Ranch Road. Coyote Ranch Road is closed due to water rushing over the bridge crossing the road. South San Jose. Bailey Road is closed due to water flooding and the mud slides on the hill. AlsoI noted that the water level crossing the roadway has risen higher than previously reported. Metcalf Bridge. Metcalf Bridge water level was not at risk of flooding at the last report, but I did note that the logs were piling up again on the upstream side of the bridge as seen in the photos from earlier today. Forsum Rd. The water level seems to have come up a little as the water level appears to be 3' below the bike path. I can hear tree branches snapping as logs float past me.

Tues. 2/21 1:11 am EOC_Public_Works: Metcalf Bridge. I just spoke with SCVWD, they are scheduled to remove debris again at 730am, which we believe will be OK. Thanks. Follow-Up by Jani Nair: Can you confirm if they need City crews to be available as well? Follow-Up by EOC_Public_Works: The south yard isn't far away. Apparently we supported them with some dump trucks earlier, so they may want some type of support again. When I talked with their contact he didn't ask for any extra help so I think being ready to help if they ask would be wise. Follow-Up by Scott Katric: I recall the field operations manager Chad Grande stating that the water district staff would help remove debris from the creek if the city would pick up the piles and disposed of the material.

Tues. 2/21 2:24 am George Osuna: Rock Springs. The Creek level at Rock Springs has risen about 3ft. from the last time we reported (4 hrs previously at 10:09 pm).

Tues. 2/21 2:28 am Patty Cannon: Coyote Ranch Road. Huggen, Could you make scans or take clear photos of the flood projection maps taped to the whiteboard where the graph is? At the moment, I am looking to see if we need to be concerned about flooding at the PG&E substation at Metcalf.


FLOODING




Currently, the water is flooding the frontage road, Coyote Ranch Road, but it looks like the substation itself is about 3' higher. Will that be enough? Follow-Up from Huggen Angeles: At 7300 CFS, the substation does not show inundation. See attached PDFs.

Tues. 2/21 2:38 am Matt Newton: Forsum Rd. The water level is still 2 feet lower than the bike path. I estimate the bike path is 5' lower than the roadway.

Tues. 2/21 2:47 am George Osuna: William St. Area. The water level at 60 S. 17th. St. is currently still at the same level from our last report; The level for 150 Arroyo Wy. has not changed. Follow-Up by Patty Cannon: Thanks for the update at S 17th and 150 Arroyo Way. I know it seems like things are stabilizing, but we don't believe that to be the case. Please continue monitoring the 17th / Arroyo / William St. areas. Also report any localized street flooding that you see. I can notify DOT.

Tues. 2/21 3:11 am Patty Cannon: Rock Springs. Jon, This is a rise of about 3 ft in about 4 hours at Rock Springs. It has still not yet reached the public street. We'll keep an eye on it.

Tues. 2/21 4:48 am George Osuna: Rock Springs. Please see attached photo of Rocksprings as it continues to rise our estimation is another 3' (previous observation was at 2:24 am, 2 hrs-20 mins previous). Follow-Up by Mark Damey: Just left the site with Otto & George. Vertically, its up about 2'-3' from last night, however the rate of rise appears to be faster. There appears to be ~5'-6' vertically before the water begins to flood or over top. Something to definitely keep an eye on considering how fast the water appears to be rising. Follow-Up by Patty Cannon: Yes. This is a significant area of concern. It flooded into the neighborhood residences in 1997. We want to monitor this so we can inform the residences in time for them to leave in advance if

Not sure if the wood is under water or washed downstream. Metcalf Rd. The road going up the hill is still open. South San Jose. Santa Teresa - I found southbound Santa Teresa closed at Baylis. Cars are still driving north on Santa Teresa. I haven't checked the intersection of Santa Teresa and Bailey.

Tues. 2/21 5:46 am Huggen Angeles: See attached email update from Dale. Attachment is an EOC 201 – EOC Action Plan stating, “Runoff into the Coyote Anderson Reservoir System will cause spillway flows that peak at ABOUT 7000 CFS on Tuesday morning about 1000 hrs with flows above 5000 CFS at the spillway extending through Tuesday 2400 hrs. Flows take approximately 8 hours to travel from the spillway to the Rock Springs neighborhood and 11 hours to Berryessa.” It also identified the following “immediate infrastructure threats”, “Rock Springs neighborhood, Berryessa Road industrial area, East Williams & San Antonio Street areas, Watson Park, Between Monterey Hwy & Coyote Creek opposite side of creek from the Coyote Creek Golf club”

Tues. 2/21 6:27 am Jon Cicirelli: For the group: We are watching closely the Rock Springs area; 17th st, and Arroyo Way, south of Santa Clara St.; increasing flow at Edenvale gauge (3800+); Metcalf bridge – clearing debris @730am; flow at Madrone (6700+)hasn’t peaked yet.

at the end of Glithero Ct. (x-st Monterino Dr, near entrance to Watson Pk) flagged me down. They have the home at the end of the court (last home on the left in pix) and are concerned on the amount the water has risen at the entrance to Watson Pk. Five to six inches in the last hour per the resident. There are inlets around the corner from the entrance to the park and I informed them of the sand bags at Mabury Yard. They asked who would let them know when to sandbag. Referred them to SCVWD's website. Follow-Up by Jose Zacarias at 12:37 pm: Just the park so far. Resident was worried as the water was getting close to leaving the park entrance. And possibly heading down to his court. But there are a couple of inlets on the way to the end of the Ct. Will be a concern if inlets back up.

6525 Dade Court, San Jose, 95123, her street deadends at Oberline. Follow-Up by Mark Damey: Hello Team, with this being potentially associated with the SCVWD canal, is this something they would look into? I'm pretty confident this not City property and/or maintained by the City. Can someone check in with DOT or our SCVWD folks to see if this is something they can look into? I don't have any problem sending someone over, but if there is a better resource I'd rather go that route. Let me know so we can close the loop with the resident.

Tues. 2/21 2:59 pm Patty Cannon to Mark Damey: John Cannon is checking the flowrates on other creeks at the SCVWD website and has identified a potential concern on Lower Silver Creek at King. He called Scott Katric, who is currently representing the City at the SCVWD EOC, and they are going to check their gage there. It would be great if we could get someone to check on that location to see what the water levels look like - The location of concern is on King Road, just north of McKee. There's a bridge just north of the Walgreens that should provide good viewing. Trying to figure out if the 2,900cfs reading on the gage seems accurate. It's jumped quite a bit in the past several hours. Scott Katric is also concerned about the mobile home parks on Oakland Road (1350, South Bay; 1358, River Bend; and 1450, Golden Wheel). Apparently the water level in the creek is about 0.5' below the top of the wall. Mike Liw and Dave Sykes know about it already, but it may be the serious next hot spot area. I know we had been monitoring this area in the past, can we get someone else out there to check this area out?

Tues. 2/21 3:26 pm Scott Katric: Mark, the Water District is asking if we need sand bags delivered anywhere. Let me know if you have a


FLOODING




need for this? As Patty mentioned, I was just in a conference call with Michael Liw and Dave Sykes and they were told that Rock Springs will likely see the the peak flow in a few hours (my guess is 5:00pm to 6:00pm), then a peak flow a few hours later at the MHP's downstream of Berryessa Road, and then the peak will reach Charcot Road an hour or so later. FYI, the height of the peak flow will not be much different than the height of water both before the peak and after the peak. The upstream gage at Edenvale is showing us that the high water has now been occurring for over 4 hours with less than a half foot difference in total height during that time. The main point with saying this is that the water in the creek will remain near the peak height for many hours before is slowly recedes. From this point forward, I'll be monitoring the Williams gage to see how much it rises as the peak approaches over then next couple hours to try and get a feel for how much we might expect the creek to rise adjacent to the MHP's and at Charcot. Both these locations are a concern. One other concern John Cannon mentioned was Lower Silver Creek near King and McKee. It looks like the creek might be experiencing a back water condition due to Coyote Creek being high. The District hasn't appeared to be concerned about this issue.

Tues. 2/21 3:42 pm Scott Katric: Just spoke to the District staff again about lower Silver, we should send someone upstream to see if the high water extends upstream, if not, it would show us that the creek is being influence by Coyote.

Tues. 2/21 3:54 pm John Dyke: Mobile Home Parks. Golden Wheel Mobile home park is starting to back up and flood. The DOT pump crew are just finishing up pumping out South Bay Mobile home park next door. Maybe dispatch them to Golden Wheel......??? Follow-up at 4:12 pm: Similar to the MHP on the south this location is not getting direct flow from the Coyote...possibly surcharging from the Coyote through their storm connection. This area should be pumped similar to the MHP on the south.

Tues. 2/21 4:01 pm John Dyke: Mobile Home Parks. Update River Bend Family Park is also beginning to flood

Tues. 2/21 6:10 pm Mark Damey from Jose Campos: King Rd and McKee (Silver Creek). Creek water level is about 3’ below bridge soffit Follow-Up by Scott Katric at 6:456 pm: The Water District's assessment from afar was that Coyote Creek was impacting this area, a backwater condition causing the creek to stop flowing in that area. It is likely that someone going upstream, say to San Antonio, would see a flowing

Tues. 2/21 9:11 pm Patty Cannon: URGENT – Five Wounds. I just got a report from one of our off-shift inspectors that there is stormwater coming out of the DIs in the vicinity of 28th and Santa Clara St. He said that the water is over the crown in the street on 28th between Shortridge and San Fernando. This is far from the creek, but is in the 100-yr Flood Area.

about an hour ago, dumping quite a bit of water into the park.

Tues. 2/21 9:22 pm EOC_Public_Works: Five Wounds. Perhaps it's backing up from William St area south and Watson Park north of there. We're getting reports that William is flooding all the way to 24th and up to Santa Clara in some spots.

Tues. 2/21 9:34 pm EOC_Public_Works: Mobile Home Parks. Evacuation at all three has already happened. A few stragglers to rescue now. No point focusing on that area anymore. Five Wounds. Right now the flooding seems to be continuing north of the Brookwood Terrace neighborhood, flowing mostly east and towards Julian. 101/Julian. Heard a news report that flooding may be at 101 and Julian. Anyone available to confirm that?.

The giant puddle between the 2nd (westerly) IBM DWY and Gavilan College has either dissipated naturally, or was pumped out by DOT??? Irregardless, it's ok. The level of the creek (not sure of the name) west of Santa Teresa Blvd has also dropped significantly and is now a good 3'below the bridge soffet. South side looks stable. Awaiting further locations; otherwise I'll just keep on my route and report anything significant.

Tues. 2/21 10:01 pm Mathew Nguyen: Five Wounds. Hi Paul and Patty, We are looking at the next potential flooding area and look like the area bounded by Santa Clara, 101, Watson Park are the next hot zone. Some local flooding have been reported, specifically at Santa Clara just west of 101. Can you send someone out there to roam this area to see if there's any issues out there? Thank you


FLOODING




Tues. 2/21 10:03 pm Eric Wang: Charcot Ave. Bridge at Coyote. Water continues to crest at a good rate flowing in both direction of Charcot. Water flowing to the west to Hartog/Charcot to a DI (ID 22427). Majority of the flow is going to the east to Faragon/Charcot. The water builds up at 2245 Faragon, as this looks to be the low spot. The surrounding business parking lot in this area is flooded and could possible flood to the buildings. DOT is on-site monitoring and will adjust traffic control if necessary.

Tues. 2/21 10:07 pm EOC_Public_Works: Five Wounds. Please everyone get north of 280. We are seeing alarming trends. We need to verify asap:

filling in with water. Any updates on the areas we needed confirmed from previous email? We are getting ready to evacuate everything from (basically) 17th east to 101, north of 280, north/east to Watson. Minus the corner boarded by 101/280 where the 100 yr flood doesn't show. We will be requesting mutual aid to try to evacuate all of these neighborhoods.

Tues. 2/21 10:41 pm Eric Wang: Charcot Ave. Bridge at Coyote. The water continues to crest and has increased in the last 30 minutes. No business in danger on the west side of Charcot. The east-side water continues to buildup at Faragon.

Tues. 2/21 11:03 pm John Dyke: Anne Darling. Both Outfalls (525 & 2305) that converge at 33rd St and Melody are completely submerged. I opened the upstream MHs and the water level is only a few feet below the rim. The nearby CBs/Inlets are close to spilling over, as well. But no flooding, yet...

Tues. 2/21 11:19 pm Paul Krukar / Jose Campos: William St. Five Wounds. Attached is the current area that is flooded, per Jose Campos. He will continue monitoring this area and continue reporting extent of flooding. Note areas on PDF where PD were stationed and PG&E was working.

(Photos depict water level at top of curb)

Tues. 2/21 11:28 pm John Dyke: Lower Silver Creek at Wooster Ave. Bridge. The level is pretty high (see pics), but according to several Kellogg's employees I talked to they said it has receded a bit. They did mention their parking lot was filling up earlier and is still partially flooded. Follow-Up by Patty Cannon at 11:33 pm: We were thinking that this was causing the backup in the storm system as well. We've been monitoring the stage for Lower Silver Creek at the King Road gage and we haven't seen it going down until the readings at 9pm. It has only dropped 0.11' according to the gage reading, so it looks like a slow decline.

Tues. 2/21 11:34 pm Eric Wang: Charcot Ave. Bridge at Coyote. Water continues to crest at a steady pace. Water flowing to the west continues to flow to DI ID 22427 which is doing a great job. Water flowing to the east is contain on Paragon between Charcot and O'Toole. The elevated park strip is acting as levee. No business is flooded at this time.

Tues. 2/21 11:48 pm Otto Camara: Five Wounds.

28th street right now under roughly 18" of water;

Shortridge from 28th to 30th is now approaching the street crown and all sidewalks are under water;

On south 30th the west side of the sidewalk is under water with water rising up to the crown of the street;

San Fernando from 28th to 30th is ok for now but the DIs are starting to back up here please see attached photo (photo depicts water level clearly visible in the catch basin near top of grate)

Tues. 2/21 11:51 pm Patty Cannon: The SCVWD has stream gages that we are checking online to see when things are cresting and going-down. The City does also have someone at the SCVWD EOC that we can call-on for questions. Coyote has crested in South San Jose which is why we moved you all north. They have a gage near Blossom Hill and it has recently crested there. The next gage downstream is William St. It looks like that crested at about 10pm. The next gage downstream is at 237 which

FLOODING




has not crested. From that, it kinda seems like the Watson Park area would be cresting now. FYI - The crest is the top of a long, flat curve. Although we think it has crested, the water will take some time to recede. Follow-Up by Patty Cannon at 11:56 pm: FYI - Lower Silver Creek, which drains into Coyote Creek at Watson Park, hasn't really gotten any higher since 9pm. We are thinking that it has crested and is going-down, but very slowly. Follow-Up from EOC_Public_Works at 11:57 pm: As an example of how slow it can take, the gauge at Edenvale took 8 hrs to drop 0.75 feet from it's peak. The gauge at William is dropping at basically the same rate so far since peaking 4 hours ago. Follow-Up by Patty Cannon at 12:18 am: In checking the midnight reading on the 237 gage, it looks like the curve is really flattening, so we may be experiencing the crest there now.

Wed. 2/22 12:07 am Ed Soliz: Berryessa at Coyote. Here are photos from Berryessa at Commercial St. Berryessa is flooded at the Commercial intersection. Police are on site and are not letting cars go over the Coyote overpass. Follow-Up by Patty Cannon at 12:11 am: From the photos, it looks to be about 1.5'-2' deep at the doorway to the Pick 'n' Pull. Does that sound about right Ed?

Wed. 2/22 12:17 am John Dyke: Julian St. by San Jose High. Two outfalls dump into the coyote here (Julian by San Jose High), the one from the east look to be ok as the upstream MH water level is 6' below the cover. The west one is where it gets strange; as you go further and further upstream it gets worse and worse culminating with 18th St (the hi-end of that line) where it's bubbling out of the MH. The water is flowing out of the inlets and going west where it's dumping into the MH at 17th and Julian which is a different line that flows all the way west before it goes into a 30" main on 11th St. There is a little bit of flooding on 18th but nothing terrible. I will continue to monitor it if it gets worse. As long as the 17th St MH can keep taking it there shouldn't be any issues.

Wed. 2/22 12:25 am Patty Cannon: From Mayor Liccardo's Facebook Page: We're expanding the Mandatory Evacuation Order for the entire area east of Coyote Creek, west of 101, and north of

280, with the sole exception of the Bonita neighborhood. Find shelter in homes of family or friends, or at Overnight shelters open at James Lick High School, 57 N. White Rd and Evergreen Valley High School, 3300 Quimby Rd.

Wed. 2/22 12:27 am EOC_Public_Works: Thanks Ed. Do you know if flooding is still occurring at Commercial and Oakland still? Also, if someone nearby can please confirm, all lanes 101 southbound at McKee closed, northbound one lane getting through. We're hearing a report up to 10 inches on the freeway. Follow-Up by Patty Cannon 12:30 am: Ed Soliz has most-likely moved-on to check Notting Hill Drive and Littleton Drive on the east side of Coyote (also in the 100-yr flood zone). When he's done there, he can circle back to Berryessa to see what changes are visible (water level going up or down).

Wed. 2/22 12:39 am John Dyke: 101 at McKee. Oh snap! Looks like a ton of water in the 101S On-ramp from eastbound McKee. Hopefully one of these pics is ok. Follow-up at 12:53 am: I've closed the 101S On-ramp at eastbound McKee Follow-up at 1:44 am: From what I could tell it just looks like low-spot in the system. The inlets are backed up and I presume that's where the water is coming from.

Wed. 2/22 12:41 am Ed Soliz: Notting Hill Dr. - Chessington to Hazlett Way. The Coyote is about 5 vertical feet from cresting over to Notting Hill. The creek has lots of flow here. It sound like a river. The storm drain inlets are clear and are not holding water or surcharging. No immediate danger but things could change fast.

Wed. 2/22 12:41 am EOC_Public_Works: They are reportedly closing 101 between 880 and 280. I'm assuming any flooding there is due to a back up in the system...

Wed. 2/22 12:58 am Ed Soliz: Berryessa at Coyote. The Coyote is flowing around the west side of the Coyote bridge. There has been no noticeable decrease in flow. It is running thru the Granite plant with force. Police are posted on either side of the bridge and the road is closed.

Wed. 2/22 1:12 am Otto Camara: Five Wounds. We still have water coming in at a good rate and is now starting to increase and flood the end of 30th street at L & F fish market. Most of the neighbors in the neighborhood are not wanting to voluntarily evacuate I'm afraid these folks are going to be stuck under water since now the only way out is through 30th toward San Antonio.

Wed. 2/22 3:27 am John Dyke: Anne Darling. Update all MHs in the neighborhood are holding water--within 2' of the lid. I checked about 5 random locations and they were all full. The upstream one from the outfall rose up 1/2' from my last check. Even the 72" SD line is to the top. Definitely need to monitor this.

Wed. 2/22 3:32 am John Dyke: Julian by San Jose High. Still status quo. Water draining west into 17th St SD line.

Wed. 2/22 3:32 am Patty Cannon: All – William St. Five Wounds. I just touched-base with two of our inspectors watching the large area of mandatory evacuation including William Street and 28th Street. They are starting to see the water receded. There is still significant flooding, but both commented the water is going down. We will continue to monitor this area, but less vigilantly. I will be shifting an inspector to check-on the previously closed streets to provide feedback to DOT. We will be having a shift change at 4am with a fresh batch of inspectors coming-in, so we will be focusing our Flood Watch resources east of Coyote where the water level in the storm sewer seems to be increasing by about 1/2 ft in the Anne Darling neighborhood. More to follow.

Wed. 2/22 3:33 am Otto Camara: Five Wounds. For the 1rst time we have relief as evidence of receding water has started slowly please see attached

Wed. 2/22 3:33 am Patty Cannon: William St. One further update regarding the storm drain system on William at 11th and 12th. Our inspector noted that although the water is receding in the other areas, in these two intersections, the water was surcharging from the storm drain system. The water is travelling through the gutter and entering the storm drain system through another inlet. After looking at the storm drain basemaps and recalling that this area drains slowly in an average storm, I suspect the pipes are a little undersized at this upstream end of the system. We will monitor this to see if something else is going on, but the water does seem to be draining, just in a different inlet.

Wed. 2/22 4:20 am Ruben Gonzalez: Commercial St. at Old Oakland Rd. Southbound Old Oakland at Commercial is beginning to surcharge and will need to be closed.

Wed. 2/22 5:27 am Patty Cannon: 101 between 880 and McKee. KRON4 and the SigAlert website are reporting that 101 is closed in both directions between 880 and McKee due to flooding. This is the same area where one of our inspectors mentioned water surcharging from the storm drain system at Old Oakland and Commercial. We are sending an inspector there to investigate and report back.

Wed. 2/22 5:29 am Ruben Gonzalez through Paul Krukar: Charcot/Zanker. Area has no issues, including no surcharging in the SD lines.

Wed. 2/22 5:33 am Matt Newton: Commercial St. at Old Oakland Rd. 6 inches of water in the slow lane between commercial and 101. Can drive thru. People are already trying to get thru to work. Follow-Up at 5:44 am: Oakland road closed northbound and traffic detoured onto northbound 101. Southbound Oakland from Commercial to 101 is holding water along the westerly curb but is drivable. Follow-Up at 5:47 am: Water appears to be coming out of the CB on the center island and sheeting across the roadway to the west. Follow-Up at 6:16 am: SJ PD arrived at Oakland and the 101 NB to assist traffic.

Wed. 2/22 6:06 am Patty Cannon: Commercial St. at Old Oakland Rd. We 4

have confirmed that water is flooding the intersection of Old Oakland and Commercial (see pictures). This is the upstream end of the storm drain system that outfalls to Coyote Creek, so it seems an odd place to be surcharging. The 101 freeway is closed in this area, but there is no water in the lanes. We are wondering if Caltrans pumped the area into our storm drain system, causing the flooding. We will have Jose Zacarias check this location in a little while to see if things are better or worse.

Wed. 2/22 6:19 am Matt Newton: Las Plumas to Educational parkway, South of Las Plumas. This area you asked me to look at is clear so far. No flooding of streets from king to educational in the neighborhood.

Wed. 2/22 6:52 am Matt Newton: Las Palmas and Lenfest. This area is mostly clear. The water las mostly receded. Some water holding at Las Plumas and Nipper Av. Looks like a low spot. Also note the 101 freeway is closed adjacent to this neighborhood due to flooding. The wet well should be pumping into the storm system.
