This project will improve storm water conveyance by restoring several channels within Barker Reservoir to the original capacity to hold and convey storm water. The project consists of the removal of sediment from various tributaries within Barker Reservoir and repairs along the banks where needed so that flows will not be interrupted. This project does not have a score using the 2022 Prioritization Framework because it is a channel maintenance project.

Expected Impact:
This item will authorize the prime consultant to begin engineering designs for removal of sediment in the channels and repair deficiencies noted within them. The Flood Control D...
