Summary of Scopes of Work for Two Separate Projects: STARBUCK Location: There are two damage sites located along the right levee banks of the Tucannon River in Columbia County, Washington, upstream of the Kellogg Hollow Road Bridge. Damages: Flood flows significantly damaged two sites upstream of the Kellogg Hollow Road Bridge, summing to a length of 150 linear feet. Both sites have suffered significant toe scour and erosion of the upper slope, resulting in an over-steepened slope. Riprap has failed, leaving the slope exposed. Repair: Re-construct damaged portions of the levee by reestablishing riverside slopes where erosion or riprap revetment displacement has taken place. Grading slopes at a 1.5H: 1V or 2H: 1V (as applicable) with suitable fill material, placing riprap revetment along the riverside slopes, and installing a toe to support the slopes and riprap revetment. There are three Endangered Species Act (ESA) protected fish species in the Tucannon River near Starbuck, Washington. Do not drive equipment in the river. Only the bucket of the equipment should enter the water. Estimated construction to repair the levees will be two weeks with an estimated magnitude of cost between $250,000 and $500,000. Expected work window is mid to late September 2020. ****************************************** STAR BRIDGE Location: There are two damage sites located along the left banks of the Touchet River in Columbia County, Washington, upstream of the City of Dayton, WA. Damages: The two areas damaged during the flood event total roughly 185 linear feet in length. The damage observed in both areas is attributable to scour and erosion of the toe. This has left the riprap revetments vulnerable to being undermined by additional scour and erosion which will cause the riprap to tumble during high flows, potentially causing a failure of the revetment. Repair: Re-construct damaged portions of the levee by reestablishing riverside slopes where erosion or riprap revetment displacement has taken place. The damaged section would be repaired with riprap and quarry spalls. The existing slope would be graded to 2H:1V where necessary and the toe bedded with quarry spalls before the placement of riprap. There are two Endangered Species Act protected fish species in the Touchet River near Dayton, WA. Do not drive equipment in the river. Only the bucket of the equipment should enter the water. Estimated construction to repair the levees will be two weeks with an estimated magnitude of cost between $250,000 and $500,000. Expected work window is mid to late September 2020.
