Beach Stone Lakes/Point Pleasant Flood Preparedness Plan

Sources of Flooding
The BSL area floods from different sources (see North Delta Watersheds map):
  • Morrison Creek Stream Group (180 square miles watershed) from the north
  • Local runoff (50 square miles) entering between Morrison Creek and Lambert Road
  • Cosumnes and Mokelumne Rivers (1,800 square miles) which back up along the east side of the WPRR and flow through the bridge openings and breaches in the WPRR embankment.


  • Due to restricted capacity through the Delta, Cosumnes and Mokelumne River flows backup Snodgrass Slough and flow north over Lambert Road. The Lambert Road bridge has flap gates which prevent flow from passing north. However, when the water on the south side of Lambert Road exceeds 11.3 feet elevation water spills north into the BSL.
