FEATURE ARTICLE
Cutoff Wall Selection for Levee Improvement
The United States Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) Sacramento District
awarded a $64 million construction
contract in February 2020 to the
Maloney Odin Joint Venture for 3 mi
(4.8 km) of levee improvements along
the Sacramento River East Levee (SREL).
This project kicked off approximately
$1.5 billion of work to upgrade levees
along the American and Sacramento
Rivers and widen the Sacramento Weir
and Bypass. The project received the
2021 ASCE Region 9 Project of the Year
Award. Contract 1 improved levees
along five segments of the river, the
longest segment being a 2 mi (3.2 km)
reach from Garcia Bend Park to the
Freeport Intake Facility in the Pocket
neighborhood of Sacramento.

Project Objectives
The objectives of the SREL Project were
to rehabilitate the east levee of the
Sacramento River to meet both Federal
Emergency Management Agency 100year
and State of California Urban
Levee Design Criteria, provide a 200year
level of flood protection, and meet
the objectives of USACE American
River Common Features project
General Re-evaluation Report to
modernize Sacramento's aging flood
control infrastructure to protect more
than 500,000 people in the region.
Design Considerations
Levee deficiencies, including underseepage,
through seepage and stability,
were identified and remedial measures
were selected and evaluated through
design alternatives analyses that
included ranking remedial measures
against redundancy, resi l ience,
robustness, anticipated construction
