Big Dry Creek Seepage Remediation

Big Dry Creek Seepage Remediation

Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District proposes to modify the existing toe drain of Big Dry Creek Dam constructed in 1993. The proposed enhanced toe drain will be located approximately 3 feet away from the downstream base of the dam. The enhanced toe drain will run along the downstream toe of the dam for an approximate length of 7,000 feet and will measure 15 feet deep by 1.5 feet wide. Perforated pipe will be placed into the drain and a small dewatering pump will be installed near the outlet channel. The perforated pipe will be installed by jack and bore under the outlet channel, and a utility trench for electrical conduit will be cut from a power source located about 50 feet away to the pump station.
