Boles Creek Storm Water Improvement Project

Boles Creek Storm Water Improvement Project

The purpose of the proposed project is to minimize flood hazards and ensure the health and safety of residents living and working in downtown Weed. The proposed project would enhance the passage of Boles Creek flood flows through downtown Weed. Improvements include replacing an existing undersized concrete channel with a new 8-foot by 5-foot concrete box culvert from Rippon Way to the east side of Main. The new box culvert would be approximately 170 feet long, and would be installed parallel to and on the northern side of the existing concrete channel in order to keep water flowing during construction and to minimize impacts to buildings adjacent to the existing channel. The box culvert would tie into an existing concrete arch culvert that flows under Main Street via a concrete transition structure. A new concrete headwall, approach, and riprap side walls would be provided at the inlet to transition the natural stream channel into the box culvert. Riprap banks would also be required at the Main Street culvert outlet to prevent erosion. An existing sewer utility pipe as well as concrete retaining walls and road surface would be removed and replaced within Rippon Way to accommodate installation of the headwall and box culvert. An existing water main currently located beneath the existing channel would be rerouted to run over the new box culvert. The new box culvert would be installed primarily within an existing paved parking lot; paved areas disturbed during construction would be re-paved following completion of the improvements.
