Clearing RS01 & RS02

Within these two reaches there had been little maintenance work done since the project was constructed in the late 70’s. Some areas were inaccessible due to woody overgrowth, outdated fences and gates. Land use ranges from agricultural to city parks and industrial sites.

Dam VIII-C Fencing

The original fencing and gates at Dam VIII-C, near River Styx, were in poor condition. All flood control dams are fenced to limit access by livestock and off-road vehicles to prevent damage to the structures.Woven and barbed wire fence was replaced with approximately 7700 linear feet of high tensile fencing, a more cost effective option.

There were 7 corrugated metal pipe structures within this reach that were replaced in 2014. Most of the maintenance berm on both sides of the channel was in good shape with the exception of the access off Black Diamond Rd. which needed repair.
