Document Description
Substantial sediment accumulation has occurred at this outlet from a combination of heavy storm events in recent years and the presence of vegetation that impedes the downstream flow of stormwater. This has subsequently caused ponding of water at the outlet mouth and rerouting of seasonal water flows outside the CLADPW right-of-way (ROW). The Haines Canyon Channel Outlet Maintenance project proposes to: reconfigure the primary drainage within the CLADPW ROW by removing accumulated sediment, and possibly trees, that are currently impeding the preferred flow of water; regrade the soft-bottom channel; and fill in the ponded area. The purpose of the project is to alleviate the standing water and restore the functionality of the fllod control channel. The proposed project would also ameliorate the public safety hazard related to the potential for stagnant water to be a breeding site for mosquitos, which can carry West Nile Virus.
