GENERAL SCOPE: USACE completed the Lower San Joaquin River Integrated Interim Feasibility Report/Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (Feasibility Study) in January 2018. The Feasibility Study identified a recommended plan to mitigate flooding in the commingled floodplains for the North and Central Stockton areas from three sources of flooding: the Delta Front, Calaveras River and San Joaquin River. Implementation of the recommended Plan will greatly reduce flood risk to people and property in the City of Stockton, revitalizing local levees that were built to reduce the chance of hazardous flooding in the area, affecting 122,000 residents. The Feasibility Study’s recommended plan has been divided into five major levee reaches for construction sequencing: Calaveras River (Right Bank), Calaveras River (Left Bank) and San Joaquin River (Right Bank, North Port), Delta Front & Fourteenmile Slough Control Structure, North Stockton and Smith Canal Control Structure. The Delta Front represents the greatest risk, construction of the Project will begin with the Delta Front levees. Reach TS30L is one of six (6) reaches in the Delta Front and was selected for final design and construction. Reach TS30L levee improvements include modifying approximately 5,900 feet existing levee geometry to meet current levee design and operation standards, constructing a 31 to 55 foot deep slurry bentonite cutoff wall installation, and to adding rock slope protection on the waterside (western) levee slope.
