ANNUAL INSPECTION <br /> AMAZON CREEK CHANNEL IMPROVEMENT <br /> PROJECT NO. 15-01 <br /> 2 OCTOBER 2003 <br /> 1 . DATE OF INSPECTION: 10 September 2003 <br /> 2 . REFERENCE : LEVEE ENCROACHMENT STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES, <br /> PDR 1130-2-5, 17 March 1980 <br /> 3 . SPONSOR: City of Eugene <br /> 4 . INSPECTION PARTICIPANTS : <br /> John Clark, Natural Resource Maintenance Supervisor, <br /> (541) 682-4833 <br /> Richard Zucker, Maintenance Crew Supervisor, (541) 682-4833 <br /> Trevor Taylor, Natural Resources, Operations Coordinator <br /> Brian Elliott, Environmental Project Coordinator <br /> John Todd, Inspector, CENWP-EC-DC, (503) 808-4915 <br /> 5 . FINDINGS : The following inspection findings were noted: <br /> a. The City is continuing to work with environmental <br /> advocates to limit vegetation removal to only that which is <br /> necessary to ensure the channel capacity is not limited and <br /> unwanted vegetation will not result in backwater. Selective <br /> brush and tree removal is recommended in the channel upstream of <br /> 29th Avenue to ensure adequate velocities during times of high <br /> flow. <br /> b. Sloughing along the channel side slope was noted on the <br /> left bank immediately downstream of Garfield Street (5 areas, <br /> each approximately 40 lineal feet) and the right bank immediately <br /> downstream of Bailey Hill Road. Repair of these areas are <br /> scheduled for later this year or next year. <br /> c . Encroachments on the right-of-way were noted at the <br /> following locations : scrap steel is stored along sections of the <br /> shoulder (right bank) upstream of Oak Patch Road; and a fence is <br /> located along the shoulder (right bank) at the county <br /> fairgrounds . These encroachments do not impact the integrity of <br /> the project and they will not limit access for construction <br /> equipment in these areas during maintenance operations and during <br /> times of flooding. Repairs and flood fight operations would be <br /> conducted from the opposite bank. <br /> 6 . RESOLUTION OF PERMITS : None . <br />
