AMAZON CREEK CHANNEL IMPROVEMENT - PROJECT NO. 15-01 Continued) <br /> e. 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 Street; a fence is <br /> located along the shoulder (right bank) at the county fairgrounds; <br /> and several mobile homes (left bank) are located near the shoulder <br /> of the channel immediately upstream of Danebo Road. Though these <br /> encroachments do not impact the integrity of the project, they will <br /> limit access for construction equipment in these areas during <br /> maintenance operations and will restrict construction operations <br /> during times of flooding. <br /> 6. RESOLUTION OF PERMITS: None. <br /> 7. REQUIRED MAINTENANCE TO ENSURE PROJECT INTEGRITY: Listed in <br /> order of priority are the following maintenance items that should <br /> be corrected prior to the next inspection: <br /> LOCATION REQUIRED MAINTENANCE ESTIMATED QUANTITIES <br /> (RB) between Remove berry vines 0. 6 acres <br /> Fairgrounds and from channel side <br /> Polk St. slope <br /> Channel between Selective mowing in 0.3 acres <br /> 29th and 33rd channel <br /> Avenues <br /> 8. GENERAL RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE: The maintenance items listed <br /> below currently do not impact the structural integrity of the <br /> project but are recommended to prevent major repairs in the future. <br /> a. Resurface access road (approximately 1,000 feet) between <br /> Danebo and Terry streets. Approximately 100 cubic yards of 3/4 <br /> inch minus is required. <br /> b. Remove encroachments within the project right-of-way which <br /> limit access for maintenance operations and during times of <br /> flooding. Ensure encroachments are coordinated with the City and <br /> the Planning & Engineering Division of the Corps of Engineers, <br /> Portland District. <br /> 9 . CONCLUSION AND RATING: Overall, the Amazon Creek Channel <br /> Improvement project is in good condition. The maintenance program <br /> is well executed. The inspection found the general maintenance of <br /> the flood control works to be acceptable. <br /> ohn Todd, P.E. <br /> Civil Engineer <br />
