Document Description
The heavy rains that occurred during the 2005/2006-winter season caused large amounts of erosion to occur at three locations along State Route (SR) 1 in Mendocino County. The pavement at post mile (PM) 14.85 in Point Arena failed from undermining and piping of storm water through voids at failing joints of a large culvert. At PM 74.74 south of Westport, scour and headcutting (abrupt change in elevation causing erosion) at the outfall of a 24-inch (in) reinforced concrete pipe culvert has caused the loss of part of the roadway embankment as well as several sections of pipe. At PM 75.89, a portion of roadway has settled two to three feet as part of a larger landslide that includes the slopes above and below the road. Additionally, headcutting (abrupt change in elevation causing erosion) of the steep embankment under the outlet of the downdrains is working up toward the roadway and adds a considerable amount of erosion to the beach and bluff environment every time it rains.
