Re: Second Appeal—San Diego County, PA ID 073-99073-00, Slope Repairs – Mussey Grade Road, FEMA-1952-DR-CA, Project Worksheet (PW) 1098

Dear Mr. Ghilarducci:

This is in response to a letter from your office dated September 25, 2012, which transmitted the referenced second appeal on behalf of San Diego County (Applicant).  The Applicant is appealing the Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) decision to deny its request for funding for the repair of five sites along Mussey Grade Road and requests that FEMA approve $856,653 for the proposed scopes of work.

As explained in the enclosed analysis, I have determined that proposed scopes of work do not meet the eligibility criteria for permanent work or emergency protective measures and are not eligible.  Accordingly, I am denying this appeal.

Please inform the Applicant of my decision.  This determination is the final decision on this matter pursuant to 44 CFR §206.206, Appeals.

Sincerely,

/s/

Deborah Ingram
Assistant Administrator
Recovery Directorate
