Document Description
DWR staff will perform maintenance along the BAPP drainage and culverts around headworks of pumping plant and along the intake channel. The accumulation of dirt in the culverts obstructs storm water flow and must be removed so that the culverts will be returned to original specifications. Erosions due to recent high precipitation events have caused abnormal erosions beyond normal maintenance levels. The intake roads are about two miles long and extend east from the BAPP to Byron Highway. Staging will be on existing roadways and parking lots. All work is within DWR right of way.
