Good morning Chair Parvin, members of the Board, CEO Dr. Johnson, Greg Strakoulos Public Works Agency Director for the record I wanted to present information on public works efforts over the course of the last couple weeks In terms of some of the statistics you heard Sheriff Fryhoff talk a little bit about the amount of rain so early in the season. In the Ventura area alone, we've received 16.3 inches and in the 154 years of record keeping it's only the 7th time 10 inches has been exceeded and we're at 16. 3 16.3 happens to be the second wettest during the duration of October and January 5th so it's a significant amount of rainfall so early in the season and we still have more season to go.
Our county roads and bridges are up against nature, they're rural and even prior to the rainfall there were some significant winds that played a role in this emergency blew some trees down some limbs down Then the rains came and all of that heavy rainfall conveyed over the vast areas of land, concentrated and flowed through our creeks, streams and rivers in quantities of tens of thousands of cubic feet per second. And when you've got that kind of water moving it's going to move things with it.
The mud, the rock, the debris. And even man-made infrastructure as we saw here, such as sewer line crossings, bridge slope protection asphalt roads and concrete channels. I just wanted to start out with a general summary of overall public works activities. Even though there have been 43 identified locations where there have been some substantial cleanup or repair, we've been all over the county. We've been looking at the county inspecting it and we've had eyes out there total estimated public works clean up and repairs thus far is about $13.8 million dollars and you see the breakdown between watershed protection I'm going to talk a little bit about what we've been doing over the last couple of years. We've been working on roads, transportation and water and sanitation since Christmas Eve Public Works has worked above and beyond the 80 hour work week about fourteen hundred eighty five overtime hours of staff We've engaged 4 contractors and Dave engage subcontractors.
And there are 3 engineering consultants that were either have been engaged or about to engage with to talk about some of these projects that you'll see upcoming here. The specific emergencies. I want to present to you today where public works has exercised its delegated authority for ordering emergency actions without the committed competitive bidding process is old Telegraph Road bridge Reeves road waterworks district one Starting out with Old Telegraph Road in Supervisor Long's district.
We have, on that road, that road sees about 4,330 trips per day on the average and about 10% of those trips are truck trips. You'll see what the image of the damaged area looked like before the storm because this isn't the first time this happened right? We've repaired this before and that is the repair. The after impacts of the storm, you see a lot of that rock just moved away eroded under the foundation and expose some of the steel pilings.
So currently right now we have some restrictions on traffic flow. Three time wait restriction, it's opened in the eastbound traffic only westbound traffic is redirected to C Street and State Road 126 Reeves Road is the next stop. This is within Supervisor LeVere's District No. 1. You see here the damage of the rushing waters moving closer to the road, eroding the roadway and on the other side of the road is private property but what you don't see here under the portion of the road that hasn't quite been impacted yet is a 20-inch water main There's a gas lane and you see the Edison power poles that are on the other side.
And there is some risk to the private property if that road were to wash out any further. Our emergency repairs thus far were to stop the damage and protect the slope that was there. The water has drained away, enabled us to put some heavy rock there. This isn't the final design or final solution. We'll be right back at it to rebuild that road as part of the emergency response.
Next in Supervisor Parvin's districts while waterworks district when we had a sewer main break there are 6 crossings of the oriole royal see me and one of those crossings was above grade which means it was exposed to the Russian water and whatever was rushing with it. It did break away was an 8 inch gravity sewer pipe So we're going to start with a little bit of background on peak Arroyo flows. We calculated the approximate time that this could have happened and peak flows in your Royal were about noontime on Christmas Day and It might have been about 48,000 gallons of sewage spilled into the rail during that time.
But crews responded immediately. You see on the left hand side in the photos the concrete encased eight inch sewer line that was there. And then our inspection show that it wasn't there. So we had to come in with a quick project and we've talked about this in the event, it might have happened. We came into work with the contractor coordinate with the city of Moorpark and run a temporary pipeline along the Arroyo to the Joel Birchfield pedestrian bridge.
This is a temporary situation until such time We can come up with a design and construct the eventual solution, which will bring the sewer line back under the arroyo but deeper under the arroyo where it's well protected. And lastly, we have the Barlow Branca again in Supervisor LeVere's District 1. We were notified of a situation you see here currently that well not currently but prior to the storms this is an image of the concrete encased stormwater conveyance channel up against a home and an access road to access that it's It doesn't look very deep in this photo, but it is quite deep. It's 12 feet deep and a 220 foot section failed and there was significant risk to private property.
This is what it looked like after that Christmas Day storm event. We had to go in there really quickly to protect the home that was there and get in. Watershed protection staff reported out there with crews What they did is they hired a contractor quickly, worked with them. We had some gabion baskets on hand. We had the rock imported. The contractor loaded the rock into the baskets and you'll see on the right-hand side where a new wall has been established protecting those homes for 120 feet.
And that was done really quickly. In conclusion. We've also been talking to Caltrans a bit and the 10 incorporated cities to kind of gauge how they've been responding during the storm events. Caltrans had some issues on the one oh one and also state road 33. The one oh one is completely opened within Ventura County now. State Road, 33 I believe is still closed in segments up in the northern area.
And as far as city reports, I've heard that they too had to cope with windblown debris down trees clearing debris from storm inlets and drains some of the same things we did but not any other reports of any significant damages that I'm aware of at this point but haven't got all those reports yet. That concludes my report here for questions.
