Document Description
Perform emergency stabilization work to arrest bank erosion along a section of the Upper Truckee River in Lake Valley State Recreation Area to protect critical infrastructure from damage and to prevent the possibility of a downstream bridge washing out. Significant bank erosion occurred due to high water flows during the winter of 2023, and similar flows this winter could cause further, more significant damage. Work will use a handheld pneumatic post driver to drive 6-inch diam. x 15 ft. long steel pipes directly into the bank, to an embedded depth of up to 6-ft. and place logs behind the steel posts, in lifts and staggered, to ensure a stable and compact revetment structure. Lifts will continue until the log material matches the existing golf course river terrace elevation.
