Document Description
Ground squirrel burrows and soil erosions are on the California Aqueduct (Aqueduct) embankment at MP 165.80L and need to be filled. The Department of Water Resources' (DWR) San Luis Field Division (SLFD) will use a backhoe with a sheepsfoot roller attachment to collapse and fill in the burrows and erosions on the waterside and landside slopes of the Aqueduct embankment. Once the burrows and erosions are collapsed and filled, the embankment will be graded and compacted to the original specifications. Approximately five cubic yards of eroded material may be scraped up from the base of the embankment to backfill any large erosions or burrows. In areas that cannot be accessed by the backhoe and its attachments, such as underneath an existing pipeline, SLFD staff will use hand tools to fill the erosions.
