Document Description
A series of storms struck Northern California and Nevada in late December and early January 2005/2006. The Sacramento River, Truckee River and associated tributaries reached flood stage. The project site, known as Site 20051230-019-001 (RD-70) (Site), lies within Reclamation District No. 70 which is located in western Sutter County, California. The erosion damage at the Site consists of scour, surface erosion, slumping, undermining or a combination of these. To repair the damage and to mitigate the potential for catastrophic levee failure, USACE proposes to install a combination of rock, riprap, and soil to fill the scoured or lost areas and re-establish the supporting water side slope to 2 (H):1(V) that was previously present.
