II. Project Site. The project site is Chocolate Bay Beneficial Use Site 1A located near the western upstream side of the confluence between Chocolate Bayou and the Intracoastal Waterway and is shown on Sheets 1 and 3 of the attached drawings. Beneficial Site 4A is located about 1.5 miles downstream of the FM 2004 bridge over Chocolate Bayou and is also shown on Sheets 1 and 2. III. Description of Work. Install a commercially available agricultural flashboard riser made of galvanized steel in Placement Area 4A and 1A as shown in the drawings to drain the existing interior water. Install the flashboard riser to a depth of the existing interior bottom mudline to allow a corrugated metal pipe of no less than 18 inches in diameter through the existing levee in PA 4A and through the existing geotextile tubes in Placement Area 1A. A. Beneficial Use Site 1A: Geotextile tubes shall be cut at the location shown and enough interior material extracted from the tube so the discharge pipe of the flashboard riser will fit and lay at the proper slope for appropriate interior drainage. The ends of the geotextile tubes once enough material is vacated shall have the ends resewn to prevent further loss of fill material. The placement of the headwall of the flashboard riser will be as close to the interior line of geotextile tube s as possible. A metal grated ramp rated for at least 500lbs of load capacity shall be placed to access the board risers. The riser channels shall be of sufficient width to accommodate only the thickness of a commercially available treated 2-inch x 4-inc h No. 2 board. The area cut from the geotextile tubes will be back filled with 50lb concrete mix filled marine bags. The concrete bags shall be neatly stacked over the discharge pipe and riser structure base to an elevation of the surrounding geotextile tube. The discharge end shall have enough pipe length to discharge at least 5 feet away from the base of the geotextile tube. B. Beneficial Use Site 4A: The levees shall be cut at the location shown and a flashboard riser placed at the appropriate elevation to allow for adequate drainage of the interior of the placement area to facilitate planting. The cut material shall be stockpiled in the dry and used to backfill the pipe and structure once installed. The horizontal offset of the headwall of the flashboard riser shall be as close as possible to the interior slope of the earth levee. Sufficient discharge pipe shall be added to the basic structure to allow for drainage past the outside slope of the levee. The area where the pipe runs through the levee shall be backfilled with the stockpiled material and sufficiently packed to prevent seepage through the earth and pipe interface. A metal grated ramp rated for at least 500lbs of load capacity shall be placed to access the board risers. The riser channels shall be of sufficient width to accommodate only the thickness of a commercially available treated 2-inch x 4-inch No. 2 board. C. Repair of breach on Placement Area 4A. The breach on the earthen levee on placement area 4A on the location shown on the drawings shall be repaired and restored to the surrounding levee conditions.
