Document Description
The bank has slid down over time causing dirt to fill in the v-ditches and culverts. It is essential for SLFD to maintain all bank, v-ditches and culverts for water run-off and for the integrity of the Aqueduct. An excavator with a bucket will be used to reshape the embankment, repair erosions and clean out the v-ditch for proper drainage. Then a backhoe and grader will be used to level out spoils created from the excavator. Dust will be kept down by using a water truck. Only existing paved and gravel roads will be used to access the work site.
The State Water Project and DWR will benefit from this project.
An excavator, a grader, a water truck, a backhoe will be used, a pickup truck, and hand tools will be used for this work.
