PROJECT DESCRIPTION Sutter Basin Feather River West Levee Project: The Sutter Basin Flood Risk Management Project (Project), authorized in the Water Resources Development Act of 2014 (P.L.113-121, § 7002(2)(8)), reduces flood risk to the communities of Biggs, Gridley, Live Oak, Yuba City and portions of unincorporated Sutter County through constructed improvements to existing Federally-authorized levees. The levees selected for improvement are located along the west bank of the Feather River in Sutter County downstream of Yuba City just south of Star Bend Road to Cypress Avenue. The Project consists of approximately 5-miles of improvements to existing levees through the installation of both seepage cutoff barriers and earthen berms. Cutoff walls are required along the entire Project reach with wall depths expected to range between 40 and 140 feet. Cutoff wall installation may require both conventional trench excavation with bentonite slurry and a deep soil mixing method depending on the final design depths selected. Ability to degrade and rebuild existing levees for cutoff wall construction is a major element of the project. Seepage berm construction is only expected along less than 1-mile of the Project reach. Construction is also expected to include the related abandonment and/or relocation of agricultural irrigation facilities impacted by the Project. These facilities includes water supply and drainage ditches, water supply wells, and gravity and pressure pipe penetrations of the levee.
