Lower Mud River Levee Protection Project

Construction will generally consist of: earthwork necessary to build an earthen levee approximately 8,300 linear feet in length, two pump stations capable of pumping approximately 60,000 – 90,000 gallons per minute, a gate closure necessary to maintain vehicular access through the levee, a sub-surface seepage barrier (i.e. soil-bentonite mix, or similar) with depths ranging from 25 to 65 feet, relocation of approximately 4,300 linear feet of the existing Mud River, a new raw water intake with low head weir for municipal water supply, natural gas fueled emergency power generators for the pump stations and raw water intake, construction of environmental habitat mitigation areas, demolition of existing structures, and land development needed to provide access roads and utilities needed to operate and maintain the project after construction.
