The modified levees at the intake locations would be limited to short lengths on either side of the intake and would be designed to the most current U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) standards. The modified levees would be designed based upon numerical evaluations of hydraulic and geotechnical effects on other levees upstream and downstream of the new intake, including the levees across the river from the intake. Per the USACE permit requirements under the Clean Water Act, Section 408, the modified levees would be designed to not injure the function of the flood control project levees.

Is there siting information available for burrow pits?

It was mentioned that there would be new barge routing and landing “overlay maps.” Do you know if they are available yet for either the proposed eastern route or the westerly (original route)?
