Document Description
The repair along the Yuba River would restore 400 feet of the landslide slope of a low berm/levee along rhe main cjhannel of the Yuba River to pre-flood condition. This low berm/levee was constructed to direct river flows away from the south levee of the Yuba River between State Route 70/65 and the Union Pacific railroad trestle. The 3-foot deep erosion into the levee slope could be excavated 0.5-feet beyond the damaged area and reconstructed using compacted impervious soil. The damage along Dry Creek consists of a 2-3 feet deep erosion along intermittent sites for 2,300 feet of levee toe. Damage at the WPIC is similar but with 3 to 4 feet tall scarps and levee toe erosion for 900 feet. The repair at both sites would entail excavation of the toe for 0.5 feet beyond the erosion followed by reconstruction of the toe to pre-flood conditions using compacted impervious soil. All repair areas would then be seeded and mulched.
