Document Description
Repair of an existing dam embankment along Sandy Wool Lake located in Ed R. Levin County Park. The dam embankment repair area is approximately 420 linear feet long and 30 feet wide. The proposed repair work will reconstruct the embankment (fronting Sandy Wool Lake) to its original condition of 3:1 (H:V) slope. A concrete cutoff curb will be placed at the toe of the new embankment (elevation 589'), and the new embankment will be covered with Mirafi filter fabric and an eight-inch geoweb erosion control system. Construction will occur when lake levels are at their lowest. The County will lower the lake level below elevation 589', such that all construction will be outside open water areas. Following placement of the geoweb system, the area will be revegetated with a mixture of grasses and forbs for additional erosion control. The Parks department will not allow recreational access across the top of the dam during the project. Signs will be posted at both ends of the work area informing park users of the construction activity and the temporary trail closure.
The Sandy Wool Dam embankment repair project is required to restore the embankment to its original configuration pursuant to the requirements of the State of California Division of Safety of Dams (DOD). There are no structures in the project area.
