Document Description
SLFD will repair erosions located at MP 87.6L and 90.75R to maintain Aqueduct integrity. The erosions will first be backfilled with the eroded material remaining at each site. If more fill is required, it will be imported from existing DWR spoil piles. Once backfilled, each site will be compacted either by using a sheepsfoot roller attachment or by using a tamper and then re-contoured. The Aqueduct is the major conveyor of water for the State Water Project (SWP) and is vital for delivering water to millions of California residents. This work will help ensure continued safe and reliable water delivery to SWP Contractors.
