Document Description
The levee at this site is a component of the federal Tehama County Flood Control project and protects the town of Vina. The levee was damaged as a result of high water in December 2005 and January 2006. The damage consists of a 420-foot long erosion site on the waterside slope of the levee. The erosion has caused the rock protection to be displaced from the levee slope. Future high flow events would continue to damage the levee, which would increase the chances of a levee failure. Tehama County, the local agency that maintains the levee, requested assistance from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers pursuant to the federal PL 84-99 levee repair program.
The project will repair the existing levee to the conditions that existed prior to the damage. The work will consist of providing new rock protection, such that the levee will have the same slope as before the damage occurred. The Department of Water Resources is the lead agency, as it is currently overseeing levee repairs on a statewide level, including repairs under the federal PL 84-99 program.
