Sacramento River Erosion Contract 2   4

Background
The Sacramento River Erosion Contract 2 aims to address erosion and levee failure risk to the Sacramento River east levee (SREL) through the placement of approximately 3 miles of rock revetment between the confluence of the American River and the City of Freeport (between river mile 60 and river mile 45). The contract will require rock-placement on the levee by a barge, though heavy equipment may be used (from the barge) along the rock platform to place rock along the levee slope. Improvements include bank-fill revetment, riparian bench, lower slope quarry stone and slope protection including plantings and in-stream woody material.
