PROJECT DESCRIPTION Open Trench Self-Hardening Slurry Method or Deep Mixing Method (DMM) The Marysville Ring Levee (MRL) Phase 2A project is located in Yuba County CA, on the left bank of the Feather River, in the city of Marysville. The project consists of partially degrading a section of the waterside embankment, constructing a cutoff wall within the levee embankment degrade (near the original levee toe), and replacing a portion of the degraded embankment with impervious levee fill. The cutoff wall will be slag-cement-bentonite (CB) constructed using the Open Trench Self-Hardening Slurry Method with a cutoff wall minimum width of 3 feet or a soil-cement-bentonite (SCB) cutoff wall constructed using a Deep Mixing Method (DMM). The DMM should be classified as either: Wet Rotary Shaft (WRS), Wet Rotary End (WRE), Wet Rotary and Jet End (WJE) or Wet Vertical Panel (WVP) as defined in the Federal Highway Administration Design Manual Deep Mixing For Embankment and Foundation Support. The cutoff wall width for the DMM will be a minimum of 2 feet. The cutoff wall construction working surface will be within the levee embankment degrade near the original levee foundation elevation. This will result in the cutoff wall construction near a temporary excavated slope. The cutoff wall length is approximately 1,175 feet with a depth that varies from 36 to 38 feet; for a total square footage (ft2)of approximately 44,380 ft2. The total amount of excavation for the levee embankment is approximately 36,000 cubic yards (CY) and the excavated material will be used to the fullest extent possible. From the initial excavation amount, 14,300 CY will be used as general levee fill and 10,400 CY will be used as impervious fill (11,300 CY will be wasted). An additional 20,540 CY of impervious fill will have to be imported. The embankment will be reconstructed with general levee fill and an impervious waterside slope blanket with an 8 feet horizontal thickness and 3(horizontal):1(vertical) slope. Other features of the project include temporarily removing and replacing a bike trail and safety rail for construction of the cutoff wall. Two monitoring wells will be installed on the landside in the vicinity of the 5th Street Bridge, and erosion control measures will be provided in disturbed areas. Complete project details will be issued at release of any formal solicitation via the MRL Phase Final 100% Plans and Specifications.
