Location:
Entire perimeter levee system including the Sacramento River, American River, Natomas Cross Canal, Pleasant Grove Creek Canal and Natomas East Main Drain Canal
Description:
The Natomas Levee Improvement Project is currently under construction by the Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency (SAFCA). The most current information on this project is available at their website www.safca.org. This $600 million project which began in 2007 will provide Natomas with 200 year flood protection upon completion. The project primarily addresses the significant underseepage risk which threatens the stability of the levee during high river stages. The project will include improvements to the entire perimeter levee system surrounding Natomas and include a new “adjacent levee” for the full length of the Sacramento River along the Garden Highway. Other project features include slurry walls, landside berms and relief wells. The project also includes environmental enhancements such as woodland corridors, wetlands, and canals to offset the impacts of the project.
Schedule:
Construction began in 2007 and will continue until at least 2014. For more specific information on projects under construction during the current year, visit the SAFCA website at www.safca.org

Location:
Along the Sacramento River about a half mile south of Elverta Road
Description:
This project is being done by the Army Corps of Engineers and involves the placement of large rock along the river’s edge to stop the continued erosion of the bank which is now threatening to erode the adjacent levee. The rock will be delivered to the site by large trucks traveling along the Garden Highway to the site. Plants and other woody vegetation will be interspersed in the rocks to provide habitat
Schedule:
Construction began October 12 and is anticipated to last until early December

Location:
Garden Highway between Gateway Oaks and Orchard Lane in front of the District Office at 1633 Garden Highway
Description:
The project is being constructed by the Army Corps of Engineers and involves placement of a slurry wall approximately 70 feet deep in front of the District’s office. Upon completion, the slurry wall will prevent underseepage in this vicinity and stabilize the existing levee. Construction will require complete closure of Garden Highway for several days and the partial closure (one lane traffic) for up to six weeks.
Schedule:
Construction began October 12 and is anticipated to be completed in early December
