Document Description
The proposed project will restore the capacity of the culvert and channel to reduce the potential for flooding on Giovanetti Road. An excavation upstream of the culvert will be dug using an excavator from the street only, and hand crews within the creek channel. The excavation will be approximately four feet deep, eight feet wide, and extend 35 feet upstream. Blackberries overhanging the channel will be pruned by hand to allow crews and equipment to operate. A large willow on the South bank will not be removed. Downstream of the culvert, a small bulldozer will enter the streambed and push accumulated sediment upstream towards the culvert. The sediment will then be removed with an excavator operating from the roadway and placed into dump trucks to be hauled to an off-site upland location for disposal. The sediment will be removed at a varying depth from 4 feet at the culvert to 0 feet at the end of the excavation, approximately 115 feet downstream.
