Document Description
The project involves the raising of a 2,700-foot section of the Huff's Corner levee system by 4 to 6 feet to restore the levee to its original 1957 design profile, which includes 3 feet of freeboard. To accomplish this required elevation, the levee base will be widened on the landside by approximately 12 to 15 feet. The project will include a revised Operations & Maintenance easement corridor extending an additional 15 feet beyond the new landside toe of the levee. The project also entails the removal of a vegetated island that has accumulated adjacent to the levee within Lower Cache Creek. Sediment from this island will be removed and hauled off-site from the left-side secondary creek channel. Vegetation that is currently stabilizing the midchannel island will also be removed. A sacrificial terrace will be constructed along the right bank, which will reduce flow velocity against the bank and the levee, and direct creek flow towards the center of the channel.
