Improving Natomas Basin area levees April 1, 2021, by Eldin Ganic
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento District, is ramping up work on the Natomas Basin area levee improvements.
“This is the season for springing forward, and we’re fully embracing that concept by ramping up work on area levee improvements,” said USACE in their latest announcement.
Construction at the Natomas Reach B project site includes installation of a turnout-outlet to control water flow, a pump at the lift station which will return heavy rain and floodwaters back to the Sacramento River and the creation of a deep-water channel, or hibernaculum, to create habitat that will help protect endangered Garter Snakes.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento District recently reached two important milestones for the small town of Hamilton City, California, located about 100 miles north of Sacramento.
