With the help of the Army Corps of Engineers, repairs to the Pajaro River levee system, damaged by last winter's storms, are underway.
Mark Strudley, the executive director of the Pajaro Regional Flood Management Agency, is one of many working on the project.
Thousands of people in the nearby town of Pajaro were flooded out of their homes when the levee failed earlier this year. Now, many of those residents are back but worried it could all happen again. To help quicken the process, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed an executive order allowing workers to bypass some of the regulations normally in place for such a job.
"We still think that there should be environmental impact reports going on and, in order to ensure that these projects are being properly done and will protect the communities holistically," Valencia told KPIX.
