Document Description
The Vortex Tube is part of the Santa Rosa Creek Diversion Structure, a concrete flood control facility constructed in 1963 as part of the Central Sonoma Watershed Project to reduce flooding in downtown Santa Rosa. A concrete culvert beneath Montgomery Drive, known as the Vortex Tube, regulates peak winter floods in Santa Rosa Creek. The Vortex Tube has been damaged by abrasion during high flows. The purpose of the Proposed Project is to extend the useful life of the Vortex Tube by restoring its structural integrity.
The Proposed Project’s repair of the Vortex Tube would be implemented in two phases: 1) construct a permanent Bypass Pipe beneath Montgomery Drive to temporarily direct creek flows around the Vortex Tube, and 2) dewater and repair the damaged Vortex Tube. The Proposed Project would not change the function or expand the capacity of the Diversion Structure.
