Major Improvements to the Sacramento River Flood Control Project

Staff from the US Army Corp of Engineers (USACE), Department of Water Resources (DWR), and Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency (SAFCA) will discuss the need to expand the conveyance capacity in the Sacramento River Flood Control Project bypass system to protect the Sacramento Valley and the Sacramento metropolitan area from future floods. The bypass system, which is critical in passing large flood events through the Sacramento River Flood Control Project, was designed to convey flows experienced in 1907 and 1909. Since completion of construction in the 1950s, it has experienced flows in excess of the design conveyance capacity, with some distress. Key details of the design and construction of both the DWR setback levee project and the USACE Sacramento Weir extension project will be presented.
