The County of Maui, Department of Public Works (DPW) proposes to restore an eroded embankment of the Wailuku River in the vicinity of the Wailuku Millyard light industrial subdivision and provide slope protection improvements. The existing earthen embankment of the Wailuku River, located on County property, has eroded beyond the bank to affect two (2) adjacent com- mercial properties. Proposed work involves excavation, regrading, and reinforcement of the river bank slope using grouted rip-rap (GRP) consisting of cobbles and boulders with concrete infill. Woven geotextile fabric will provide a filter interface between the GRP and the existing ground. Geo-composite drains will be used under the GRP to reduce hydrostatic pressure. A line of large boulders will be placed at the toe of the lined slope. To protect the toe from scour, a boulder filled concrete key will be excavated.
