Document Description
The proposed project addressed in this initial study is the repair of three erosion sites along the Bear River North (right bank) Levees (BRNL) near the City of Wheatland, BRNL is operated and maintaned by RD 2103 (or District). The District maintains this and other levees within its service area that border the City of Wheatland and unincorporated land within Sutter, Yuba, and Placer Counties. The District proposes to repair the three erosion sites by reconstructing approximately 1,300 lineal feet along the levee embankment on the river side at two sites and on approximately 100 lineal feet of the levee embankment on the land side at one site to meet the US Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) levee design criteria. Repair of the erosion sites is intended to prevent more erosion and potential levee failure, to meet the safety standards identified in the Corps Levee Design Manual and Technical Letter for Engineering and Design, and to help qualify the levees for Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) 100-year flood protection accreditation for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
