Summary of Scopes of Work: CAMP WOOTEN Location: There are three damage sites located along the left levee banks of the Tucannon River in Columbia County, Washington, in Camp Wooten State Park. Damages: The three sites sum to a length of approximately 265 linear feet. Damages observed in these areas are attributable to scour and erosion of the levee toe. This has left the riprap revetments and levee slopes vulnerable to further damage. Repair: Re-construct damaged portions of the levee by reestablishing riverside slopes where erosion or riprap revetment displacement has taken place. For non-revetted sites, site preparation would include clearing, grubbing, and grading prior to placement of quarry spalls to restore the 2H:1V riverside slope. For revetted sites, 2 feet of riprap will be placed on the restored riverside slopes. There are three Endangered Species Act protected fish species in the Tucannon River near Camp Wooten State Park.
