Document Description
Group 2 of the California Department of Water Resources 2006 Critical Levee Emergency Repair Project. Group 2 consists of levee repair projects at Sacramento River at river miles 85.6 right bank and Bear River at river miles 2.4 left bank and 10.1 right bank. To repair the damage at each site and mitigate the potential for levee failure DWR would install rockfill and earthfill soil at each site to fill the scoured or lost areas, and re-establish the supporting slope and bench that were previously present. On appropriate sites, DWR will incorporate "woody debris," willow plantings and shrub vegetation to promote bank stabilization and increase instream habitat value, riparian habitat and shaded stream habitat. The designs for repair identify existing special status species habitat (such as elderberry shrubs), and designate buffers or restoration measures to assure their persistence after levee repair.
