Title

Sacramento River Erosion Control and Habitat Enhancement Project

Description

The Brannan-Andrus Levee Maintenance District (BALMD) is proposing to resolve erosion issues on the left bank of the Sacramento River, on Brannan Island, at approximate River Miles (RM) 14.60 to 15.18, 16.36 to 17.00 and 17.13 to 17.34. Once completed, the project would provide suitable levee erosion control on approximately 1.2 NM of levee; provide fish-friendly habitat through the creation of wetland and riparian benches on the Sacramento River channel margin; and minimize long-term maintenance and repair costs by repairing existing areas of erosion using stable and effective erosion control methodologies. The project is needed to increase levee stability and improve the level of flood protection for Brannan and Andrus Islands by repairing areas of levee erosion. Erosion control would be implemented using methods that would also provide enhanced habitat in this reach of the Sacramento River that currently provides limited fish habitat. The project consists of revetment protection as well as the establishment of wetland and riparian benches at three separate erosion control sites.
