Document Description
Delta Field Division (DFD) staff will perform maintenance along the BAPP intake channel. Staff will remove soil from v-ditches along both sides of the channel. The upstream opening of the culvert will be cleared of debris. Culverts will be cleaned using a fire hose attached to a water truck. The hose will inject high pressure raw water from the upstream direction to mimic natural storm-water runoff. Sediment in the v-ditch will be removed using a skid steer. All removed soil will be transported to the DFD spoil pile. Staging of equipment will be on established roadways. All work will be within DWR right-of-way.
