Document Description
The project consists of conducting six geotechnical borings into the Magalia Reservoir bed to assess the foundation conditions of the upstream buttress and the geotechnical properties of the proposed borrow materials. A barge-mounted drill rig equipped with mud rotary and rock coring drilling equipment will bore below the bottom of the reservoir bed, and all boreholes will be backfilled upon completion. A temporary access route and launch site for the barge, trailer, and support boat along the shoreline will be established to allow access to the water during project activities.
