Corps to Stop Sacramento Levee Work For Rainy Season
The rainy season is upon us and that means it’s time for the Sacramento District of U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to stop all of its levee work around the Sacramento and American rivers.
“We can’t work on levees in the wintertime because of runoff,” says Tom Karvonen, project manager for Sacramento River Bank Protection Project (SRBPP). “When it’s raining it’s impossible to do the storm water protection required to keep soils from running in the river.”
