Document Description
The California Conservation Corps and DWR staff will remove sediment and debris from the concrete v-ditches surrounding the Edmonston Pumping Plant (EDPP), Wind Gap Pumping Plant (WGPP), and Wheeler Ridge Pumping Plant (WRPP). To do this work, hand tools would be used to shovel out and remove the sediment and debris from the v-ditches. Sediment and debris would then be placed into a loader bucket. The loader would dump the sediment and debris into a dump truck. The dump truck would transport the sediment and debris to the EDPP overlook or the WRPP spoil pile site. All work would be completed within the DWR right of way. This work is necessary to prevent damage and flooding of the State Water Project.
