Levees in Sacramento Will Get More Repairs
From The Sacramento Bee:
“At least 12 miles of levees in Sacramento need major repairs to keep their 100-year-flood-protection rating, including virtually all of the city’s bowl-like Pocket neighborhood, according to new engineering analyses.
“The Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency is in the process of figuring out how much the work will cost, but it is sure to be disruptive. In most cases, the process will require trenching into the center of the levee – as much as 120 feet down – to build new slurry walls to block seepage.”
