Summary of Scope of Work: Between Stations 27+00 and 31+00, roughly 600 linear feet, experienced slope failure and scouring during three separate high water events in 2015 and 2020. This activity has lead to the oversteepening of the bank in that area. The work planned in this area would include the removal of all vegetation, primarily blackberry bushes, shrubs, and small trees in this area. Larger trees were removed during a previous contract to avoid the potential for nesting birds during the construction window. Once the area is cleared of vegetation, the existing slope will be excavated from the toe of the levee to the toe of the slope to create a consistent slope for riprap placement. The 600-foot-long eroded slope will be repaired using well-keyed and appropriately-sized riprap on a 1.5:1 slope so that neither the levee toe or the existing river channel is encroached upon. Willow bundles will be planted above the ordinary high-water line. In-water work must be completed from July 15-August 31, although the remainder of the work may continue until the end of September. All on-site work shall be performed in accordance with the USACE Safety and Health Requirements Manual (EM 385-1-1).
