LCFPA Black Diamond Embankment Slide Remediation

Project Description: This Project will rehabilitate a flood risk management system, generally consisting of an earthen levee and associated infrastructure, located in the City of Wilkes-Barre. The supporting embankment has sloughed into the Susquehanna River causing a potential for accelerated loss of the embankment during a high water event. Work includes construction of a rock berm along the toe for a distance of approximately 350 feet, excavation of loose slope soil, grading of the slope, placement of 2A aggregate material for the embankment and bedding of riprap, as indicated on the contract plans. The project requires establishing an access route and an add alternate for reshaping the slope.
