Levees

Atlas Tract Levee // Stockton, CA

MVE was the lead consultant for the civil engineering design and surveying for the Reclamation District on this project. The project was conceived and constructed to remove 350 acres of land from the 100 year flood plain. The new levee consisted of a set back design and construction with a rock key-way. This design allowed construction of the levee without disturbing the banks and waterways of Bear Creek and Mosher Slough. The project included a storm drainage pump station, discharge pipes and outfall structure into the slough.

The Atlas Tract Project is bordered on three sides by meandering Bear Creek and Mosher Slough. The property was reclaimed as part of the Swamp and Overflow Surveys of the early 20th century. No existing GLO corners existed west of the project. The boundary was established by Metes & Bounds surveys. One of the main concerns of this project was the study of riparian rights that affected the site. Extensive research was performed plotting all of the deeds in the chain of title for each property located within the project site. Metes and Bounds descriptions were plotted to verify that no gaps or overlaps existed.

Holland Tract Levee // Contra Costa County, CA

MVE was selected to provide construction staking for approxiamatley 9,700 linear feet of Holland Tract Levee in Contra Costa County. The project consisted of emergency levee repair of an exisitng levee. MVE's survey crews provided construction staking and surveying for the new levee embankment, local access road and two borrowed areas.

Hotchkiss Tract Levee // Contra Costa County, CA

The Hotchkiss Tract is located in the off-island portion of the Bethel Island area. The site is located at the junction of Cypress Road and Bethel Island in the unincorporated north-eastern Contra Costa County.

The subject area consisted of a 686 acre project known as Cypress Lakes. On behalf of Reclamation District 799, MVE prepared plans, specifications and estimates (PS & E) for a dry land levee (approximately 16,000 L.F.) to remove the property from the designated 100 year flood plain.
