Title

PL 84-99 Levee Rehabilitation Project - RD 765

Description

The Applicant proposes to repair approximately 5 erosion sites, along an intermittent 1,015 linear feet reach, on the west bank of the Sacramento River near West Sacramento, in Reclamation District 765. The eroded waterside levee slope will be excavated in steps at least 0.5 feet beyond the damaged surface. The slope will be reconstructed with compacted impervious fill and covered with a 6-inch layer of bedding material. Rock riprap will be restored to the height and thickness of the adjacent undamaged area. All construction activities will occur on the upper levee slope and small vegetation along the waterline and lower levee slope will be avoided. Large trees, greater than 4 inches diameter at breast height (DBH), along the water line and levee slope will be protected in place. Willow pole cuttings will be planted along the water's edge at sites that currently do not have shrubs along the waterline. All trees that provide Shaded Riverine Aquatic (SRA) habitat will be protected in place. The California Department of Fish and Game is executing a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement Number 1600-2008-0261-3 pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the project Applicant, Tirath Pal Sandhu, California Department of Water Resources.
