Document Description
The proposed project is investigation and maintenance of the State Water Project. DWR proposes to investigate, design, permit, and implement the following repairs to restore the California Aqueduct. The Project would include the following:
• Conduct geotechnical exploration to determine soil behavior types, weak areas, and soil moisture contents.
• Reinforce approximately 1.18 miles of Aqueduct embankment to improve soil structure and reduce seepage.
• Restore the embankment to the design elevation to reduce risk of overtopping.
• Repair any damage to the Aqueduct liner to prevent seepage.
• Raise approximately 1.44 miles of Aqueduct liner to design elevation to prevent seepage and erosion.
• Reconstruct the road on top of the restored embankment to restore access.
Geotechnical investigations are proposed to begin in 2023. Results and analysis from the investigations will determine the best repair option for the Project. Potential options have been identified as appropriate remediation and include ground compaction, permeation grouting, and cut-off walls.
