Title

PL 84-99 Levee Rehabilitation Project - RD 150

Description

The Applicant proposes to repair approximately 17 sites along the Sacramento River on Merritt Island. For sites 010,013,014,015,018, and 019, repairs consist of clearing the levee of vegetation and excavating in steps the eroded levee slope at least 0.5 foot beyond the damaged surface. The waterside levee slope will be reconstructed to 3(H):1(V) slope. The levee slope will be reconstructed to pre-flood conditions with impervious fill. The existing rock protection will be removed, stockpiled, and reused. Lost rock protection will be restored to the thickness and height of the adjacent undamaged areas. For sites 002-008, 011,012,016, and 017, the repairs consist of reconstruction of the levee toe with compacted impervious fill and restoration of the lost rock protection to the height and thickness of adjacent undamaged areas. The levee slope will be cleaned and grubbed at least 10 feet above the eroded area. All trees that provide Shaded Riverine Aquatic (SRA) habitat will be protected in place. Trees greater than 4-inches diameter at breast height (DBH) will be protected in place. Willow pole cuttings and button brush will be planted along the toe of the levee slopes. The California Department of Fish and Game is executing a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement Number 1600-2008-0258-3 pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the project Applicant, Tirath Pal Sandhu, California Department of Water Resources.
