Source: DCA, DWR Feature Siting Drivers Page 1 Siting Driver: Soil Compressibility Relevant Facilities: Why is this important? Intakes The geology of the Delta has been shaped by the landward spread of tidal Tunnel Shaft – Launch environments resulting from sea level rise after the last glacial period. Tunnel Approximately 15,000 years ago, relative sea level was approximately 300 Tunnel Shaft – Retrieval feet lower, and the present-day Delta was an arid floodplain cross-cut by Intermediate Forebay the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers. Following this period, sea level Southern Forebay rose rapidly, resulting in the landward migration of the ocean through the Pumping Plant Carquinez Strait and into the Central Valley, resulting in deposition of organic South Delta silt and clay across the floodplain. Approximately 5,000 years ago, sea level Interconnection stabilized and the Deltaic environment remained in approximately its present Conveyance position, characterized by vertical marsh growth and decomposition. Within this complex network of buried stream channels are layers of soft fine-grained soils, susceptible to compression under loading. Loose coarse- grained sediments present in the near-surface soils are likely susceptible to liquefaction during a seismic event. In these areas, additional soil strengthening may be required if a surface facility is constructed above. Soil strengthening is a process that would involve mixing cement with soft soils to increase their strength. How does soil compressibility affect facility siting and design? Siting facilities in areas of highly compressible soils could reduce the long- term structural integrity of facilities founded on or within the affected soils. This may also be true of the risk of differential settlement due to the highly variable nature of the Delta soils. Similarly, siting facilities in areas with highly liquefiable soils would increase the risk of damage during a seismic event. Reduction of these risks could be achieved through soil strengthening. Any potential tunneling is anticipated to be deeper and in more competent soils, and therefore impacts to the tunnels are considered minimal.

  • Transitions for the Delta Economy

    Transitions for the Delta Economy

    Transitions for the Delta Economy January 2012 Josué Medellín-Azuara, Ellen Hanak, Richard Howitt, and Jay Lund with research support from Molly Ferrell, Katherine Kramer, Michelle Lent, Davin Reed, and Elizabeth Stryjewski Supported with funding from the Watershed Sciences Center, University of California, Davis Summary The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta consists of some 737,000 acres of low-lying lands and channels at the confluence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers (Figure S1). This region lies at the very heart of California’s water policy debates, transporting vast flows of water from northern and eastern California to farming and population centers in the western and southern parts of the state. This critical water supply system is threatened by the likelihood that a large earthquake or other natural disaster could inflict catastrophic damage on its fragile levees, sending salt water toward the pumps at its southern edge. In another area of concern, water exports are currently under restriction while regulators and the courts seek to improve conditions for imperiled native fish. Leading policy proposals to address these issues include improvements in land and water management to benefit native species, and the development of a “dual conveyance” system for water exports, in which a new seismically resistant canal or tunnel would convey a portion of water supplies under or around the Delta instead of through the Delta’s channels. This focus on the Delta has caused considerable concern within the Delta itself, where residents and local governments have worried that changes in water supply and environmental management could harm the region’s economy and residents.

Summary “Once a landscape has been established, its origins are repressed from memory. It takes on the appearance of an ‘object’ which has been there, outside us, from the start.” Karatani Kojin (1993), Origins of Japanese Literature The Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta is the hub of California’s water supply system and the home of numerous native fish species, five of which already are listed as threatened or endangered. The recent rapid decline of populations of many of these fish species has been followed by court rulings restricting water exports from the Delta, focusing public and political attention on one of California’s most important and iconic water controversies.

Expectations Preventing long-term net loss of land at intertidal elevations in the Delta and Suisun Marsh from impacts of sea level rise and land subsidence. Metric 1. Acres of Delta and Suisun Marsh land with subsidence reversal activity located on islands with large areas at shallow subtidal elevations. This metric will be reported annually. 2. Average elevation accretion at each project site presented in centimeters per year. This metric will be reported every five years. Baseline 1. In 2019, zero acres of subsidence reversal on islands with large areas at shallow subtidal elevations. 2. Short-term elevation accretion in the Delta at 4 centimeters per year. 1 Subsidence reversal is a process that halts soil oxidation and accumulates new soil material in order to increase land elevations. Examples of subsidence reversal activities are rice cultivation, managed wetlands, and tidal marsh restoration. DELTA PLAN, AMENDED – PRELIMINARY DRAFT NOVEMBER 2019 1 PERFORMANCE MEASURE 4.12: SUBSIDENCE REVERSAL FOR TIDAL RECONNECTION Target 1. By 2030, 3,500 acres in the Delta and 3,000 acres in Suisun Marsh with subsidence reversal activities on islands, with at least 50 percent of the area or with at least 1,235 acres at shallow subtidal elevations. 2.

  • On the Formation of Fluvial Islands

    On the Formation of Fluvial Islands

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Joshua R. Wyrick for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Civil Engineering presented on March 31, 2005. Title: On the Formation of Fluvial Islands Abstract approved: Signature redacted for privacy. Peter C. Klingeman This research analyzes the effects of islands on river process and the effects river processes have on island formation. A fluvial island is defined herein as a land mass within a river channel that is separated from the floodplain by water on all sides, exhibits some stability, and remains exposed during bankfull flow. Fluvial islands are present in nearly all major rivers. They must therefore have some impact on the fluid mechanics of the system, and yet there has never been a detailed study on fluvial islands.Islands represent a more natural state of a river system and have been shown to provide hydrologic variability and biotic diversity for the river. This research describes the formation of fluvial islands, investigates the formation of fluvial islands experimentally, determines the main relations between fluvial islands and river processes, compares and describes relationships between fluvial islands and residual islands found in megaflood outwash plains, and reaches conclusions regarding island shape evolution and flow energy loss optimization. Fluvial islands are known to form by at least nine separate processes: avulsion, gradual degradation of channel branches, lateral shifts in channel position, stabilization of a bar or riffle, isolation of structural features, rapid incision of flood deposits, sediment deposition in the lee of an obstacle, isolation of material deposited by mass movement, and isolation of riparian topography after the installation of a dam.
