SYLLABUS
This volume accompanies the Main Report and Supplemental Environmental
Impact Statement for the Phase II General Design Memorandum for the
Santa Ana River Mainstem including Santiago Creek and contains the
general design for the Mill Creek Levee. '-The project economic data is
presented in Volume 9,"Economics and Public Comment and Response.". The
recommended flood control plan for the Mill Creek levee consists of
raising a portion of the existing levee from stations 70+00 to 88+70,
extending the toe protection from stations 70+00 to 129+33.33 and from
stations 130+72 to 196+25.37, and constructing a floodwall along the top
of the levee from stations 70+00 to 130+20 and from stations 130+72 to
196+25.37. Esthetic treatment will consist of groupings of native trees
and large shrubs planted along the landward side of the embankment.
Total first cost for this element of the Santa Ana River Mainstem
project is estimated at $5,109,000.

I. INTRODUCTION
Authorization
1-01 Authorization for construction of the Mill Creek Levee is
contained in the Water Resources Development Act of 1986, 99th Congress
2nd Session, Public Law 99-662. The project for flood control is
contained in the Report of the Chief of Engineers for the Santa Ana
River Mainstem, including Santiago Creek, California, dated January 15,
1982, except that, in lieu of the Mentone Dam feature of the project,
the Secretary is authorized to plan, design, and construct a flood
control storage dam on the upper Santa Ana River. The full
authorization language is presented in the Main Report.
Scope and Purpose of Report
1-02 This volume of the Phase II General Design Memorandum (GDM)
describes the existing physical conditions in the project area and
provides definite design for the Mill Creek Levee. This Phase II GDM
provides the basis for project features, establishing the project
rights-of-way and easements, updating the project costs, assessing the
environmental effects, and preparing contract plans and specifications.
Local Cooperation
1-03 This division of federal and non-federal responsibilities for
local cooperation are outlined in the Main Report.
I-I
II. PROJECT PLAN
2-01 Mill Creek (pl. 1) is a tributary to the Santa Ana River and is
located in San Bernardino County, California. The confluence of Mill
Creek and the Santa Ana River is approximately 5 miles northeast of the
City of Redlands. The City of Mentone lies 2 miles south of the
confluence. Mill Creek generally flows in an east to west direction and
originates in the high mountain peaks about 18 miles east of the Santa
Ana River confluence. Maximum streambed gradients along the project
exceed 200 feet per mile.
Description of the Project Area
2-02 The area tributary to the Mill Creek Levee comprises about
52 square miles (mi ), bounded on the north by the San Bernardino
Mountains, on the east by the San Gorgonio Mountains, on the south by
the Crafton Hills and Yucaipa Ridge, and on the west by the Santa Ana
River. Elevations in the drainage area range from about 11,500 feet
National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929 (NGVD) at San Gorgonio Peak to
about 1,700 feet NGVD at the confluence of Mill Creek and the Santa Ana
River. The average slope of the streambed in the project reach is
approximately 4 percent. Upstream from the project reach, the average
gradient of the main channel of Mill Creek is about 565 feet per mile.
The physiographic features of the Mill Creek watershed make it one of
the most severe sediment producers in the area. Mill Creek is confined
by an existing Federal flood control levee on the south side; however,
the floodway is relatively wide.
2-03 Urban developments occur primarily in the south overbank areas of
the Mill Creek alluvial plain. The Cities of Redlands and Mentone lie
on the historic alluvial fan of Mill Creek. There are some agricultural
lands in the north overbank area of Mill Creek and a river run
hydropower plant, the Mill Creek Powerplant Number 1, owned by the
Southern California Edison Company.
II-I
Existing Flood Control Facilities
2-04 Levees and floodwalls have been constructed at various times by
Federal and local interests along the south bank of Mill Creek. The
original Federal flood control project was a unit of the Santa Ana River
Basin project, which was authorized by the 1950 Flood Control Act.
Construction of the existing Mill Creek Levee was completed in 1960.
The improvements integrated two stone masonry floodwalls constructed
immediately after heavy flooding in 1938 by local interests with Works
Progress Administration (WPA) funds. The Mill Creek Levee was d~signed
for a maximum flood capacity of 33,000 cubic feet per second (ft Is),
providing Standard Project Flood (SPF) protection to the Cities of
Mentone and Redlands, and to the surrounding urban areas.
2-05 The existing Mill Creek Levee consists of three levee segments.
The upstream levee joins a 1,297-foot-long stone masonry floodwall. The
floodwall extends from station 216+86.93 to station 203+89.59 and is
about 24 feet high with a base width of 10 feet and a top width of
4 feet. At the base of the floodwall there were 6-foot-high, 5-foot-
wide and 20-foot-long groins, at 100-foot spacings. These groins have
been destroyed by flooding and sediment movement.
2-06 The upstream levee is 520 feet long and extends from station
208+50.38 to station 203+30.20 where it joins a second masonry wall.
The levee height varies from 5 to 9 feet above the streambed with a
crest width of 18 feet. The side slopes are 1 vertical on 2.25
horizontal on the river side and 1 vertical on 2 horizontal on the
landward side. The river side of the levee is protected with a grouted
cobblestone layer varying in thickness from 18 inches at the toe to 12
inches at the top. The revetment extends 12 feet below the lowest point
in the streambed along this reach.
2-07 The second masonary floodwall is 705 feet long and extends from
station 203+30.20 to station 196+25.37. The wall was constructed at the
same time and to the same dimensions as the upstream masonry floodwall.
At the downstream end, the masonry floodwall joins a middle levee.
2-08 The middle levee is 6,553 feet long and extends from station
196+25.37 to station 130+72.00, ending at the crossing of Garnet Street
(pl. 2). The levee height varies from 5 to 9 feet above the streambed.
The top width, side slopes, and revetment are the same as the upstream
levee. The height from the top of levee to toe of revetment varies from
14 to 22 feet.
2-09 The downstream levee begins at Garnet Street as a tie back and
then extends downstream 6,575 feet from station 135+75 to station 70+00
(pl. 2). The top width and side slopes are the same as the upstream
levees. Between stations 135+75 and 88+70, the revetment is also
identical to that on the other two levees and the height from top of
levee to toe of revetment varies from 11 to 20 feet. The levee height
in this reach varies from 4 to 11 feet above the streambed. From
station 88+70 to station 70+00 the revetment consists of a 24-inch layer
11-2
of dumped stone extending from the top of the levee to the streambed.
The toe of the revetment extends 2 feet below grade. The height of the
levee in this reach varies from 2 to 4 feet above the streambed.
2-10 Since construction of the existing Mill Creek Levee, floods
smaller than the design capacity of the project have overtopped the
levee and caused damage. Additional features, such as gabion deflection
baffles, mid-stream "pushed-up" dikes, and low flow pilot channels, have
been constructed under Federal emergency programs to rehabilitate and
improve the project. These features are further discussed in the
Hydraulic Design section of this report.
2-11 The Mill Creek Levee was constructed in 1960 for $653,720. A
cumulative total of $1,087,000 has been spent under Federal emergency
programs to rehabilitate the project after flood damage.
The Flood Problem
2-12 The flood problem results from overtopping of the levee during
flows of less than design capacity, which transport large amounts of
sediment while following a meandering flow pattern. This sediment has
deposited on the levee slopes and created a ramp, allowing flows to
escape. Scour in other reaches has undermined the revetment in the
past. For a complete description of the flooding phenomena and
hydraulic design see section IV.
The Authorized Plan
2-13 The 1980 Santa Ana River Phase I GDM plan consisted of raising the
existing levee and constructing an additional 1.2 miles of levee to
convey flows to the proposed Mentone Reservoir. The authorized plan
also included a groin field along the levee extension to protect the
levee and divert flows away from the Mentone Dam spillway. The
estimated cost of construction for the improvements was $15,095,000
(October 1979 price levels).
The Plan Reoommended in this Report
2-14 The recommended flood control plan for Mill Creek Levee is similar
in concept to the authorized plan, except that the channel will not be
extended an additional 1.2 miles downstream; the existing levee toe
protection will be deepened, and a concrete floodwall will be
constructed on top of the levee berm in lieu of raising the entire levee
(pls. 3 through 13). Replacement of Mentone Dam with Seven Oaks Dam
removed the need to extend the Mill Creek Levee to protect the Mentone
Dam spillway from sediment deposition. Details of the recommended
improvement to the Mill Creek Levee are described in the following
paragraphs.
11-3
RAISED LEVEE
2-15 The levee will be raised 4 feet at station 70+00 tapering down to
0 feet at station 88+70. The side slope will have an average height of
18 feet and will be protected with 18 inches of grouted stone. The
existing ungrouted revetment will remain in place beneath the ntw side
slope.
TOE PRONECTION
2-16 The recommended toe protection for the Mill Creek Levee will be
constructed of grouted stone revetment with a slope of 1 vertical on
2 horizontal. It consists of the following:
(1) From station 70+00 to station 88+70, grouted stone slope
protection will be constructed as part of the levee
raising. The new toe depth will vary from 6.5 to 9 feet
deeper than the existing ungrouted toe.
(2) From station 88+70 to station 129+33.33, the toe of the
existing grouted revetment will be deepened. The new toe
depth will vary from 2 to 8 feet below the existing toe and
will consist of 18-inch-thick grouted stone.
(3) From station 130+72 to station 196+25.37, the toe of the
existing grouted revetment will be extended. The new toe
depth will vary from 8 to 12.5 feet below the existing toe
and will consist of 18-inch-thick grouted stone.
FLOODWALL
2-17 The recommended floodwall for the Mill Creek Levee will be
constructed along the existing top of the levee from station 88+70 to
station 130+20 and from station 130+72 to station 196+25.37 and along
the top of the raised levee between station 70+00 and station 88+70.
The height of the wall will vary from 5 feet 11 inches to 7 feet
6 inches. The wall will be designed as an inverted T-wall. The footing
will be 6-foot in length and will rest on top of the levee. The
thickness of the stem and the footing will be 8 inches and 10 itches
respectively. A cutoff wall, 3 feet deep and 10 inches thick, will be
provided at the end of the footing (river side). See plate 14 for a
typical floodwall section. The wall will be provided with two 3-foot
wide by 6-foot high access gates. The gates will be designed as
floodgates and will provide access to the existing catwalks for
diversion fdoillties at station 118+10 and station 157+00. Also, ladder
rungs will be provided at 300-foot intervals to assist viewing the river
side over the floodwall from the access road (pl. 14).
11-4
Ea'mWnC TREUlTM
2-18 Groupings of native trees and large shrubs (table 1I-1) will be
planted on the landward side of the embankment, along the levee reach
upstream of Garnet Street and the one-third distance of levee downstream
from Garnet Street, to reduce the unnatural horizontal line created by
the long floodwall. The plantings will be established by a single
mainline drip irrigation system. The esthetic treatment plan is shown
on plates 15 through 17.
2-19 No coloring of the floodwall will be necessary since the existing
predominant grayish-white coloration of the riverbed is similar to
concrete. No esthetic treatment will be necessary on the river side of
the levee since this side is generally visible only from great
distances. The following plant species will be considered for planting
within the rights-of-way:
Table II-1. Mill Creek Levee Plant List.
Trees:
Black Willow Salix gooddingii
Red Willow Salix laevigata
Arroyo Willow Salix lasiolepis
Golden Willow Salix lasiandra
Fremont Cottonwood Populus fremontii
California Sycamore Platanus racemosa
Shrubs:
Common Buckwheat Eriogonum fasciculatum
Brittle Bush Encelia farinosa
Chamise Adenostoma fasciculatum
White Sage Salvia apiana
California Sagebrush Artemesia californica
Mexican Elderberry Sambucus mexicana
Mule Fat Baccharis glutinosa
Sugar Bush Rhu3 ovata
Hairy Yerba Buena Eriodictyon trichocalyx
Consideration of Other Alternatives
2-19 The following alternatives were also considered during this Phase
II GDM study:
a. Raising the levee with additional compacted fill and
oonstructing groin fields and gabion deflection baffles at
3trategic locations.
11-5
b. Raising the levee with additional compacted fill and relocating
the Garnet Street Bridge to improve the flow direction and
capacity through the bridge.
a. Constructing a parallel levee along the river side slope of the
existing levee and using the existing levee as a back-up in the
event of overtopping.
Each of the above alternatives also involved increasing the depti of he
levee toe protection approximately 10 to 15 feet.
2-20 As the flow capacity of the existing levee was adequate, raising
the existing levee with additional compacted fill was considered for
controlling the sediment ramping effect (described in the hydraulic
design section of this report) during events below the SPF. Increasing
the height of the sloped levee face was not efficient because sediment
ramps build higher on the slope surface. The cost of groin fields and
gabion deflection baffles was extremely high and functionally
questionable. The parallel levee concept could be implemented within
the existing rights-of-way, but the costs exceeded the recommended plan.
2-21 Relocation of Garnet Bridge was considered as a possible solution
to improve flow conditions and prevent flows from impinging directly on
the levee face downstream from the bridge. The cost of constructing a
new bridge over 400 feet long was estimated at about $2,000,000 and the
effectiveness to eliminate the flow impingement was questionable.
2-22 The historic performance of the levee and the WPA masonry walls
indicates that the vertical-faced masonry wall has effectively deflected
debris and is less susceptible to build-up of sediment ramps than the
sloped-face levee. Therefore, floodwalls were evaluated and
subsequently selected as the recommended plan. The floodwalls were
found to be the least costly alternative evaluated.

III. HYDROLOGY
Introduction
3-01 Development of the hydrology for the original Mill Creek Levee was

Survey of Santa Ana River and Tributaries, California, for Flood
Control." The results of the hydrologic engineering studies were

dated June 1958.
3-02 Hydrologic engineering evaluations conducted during the Phase II
studies for the Mill Creek Levee and the entire Santa Ana River Mainstem
Project are presented in Volume 7, Hydrology, of this Phase II GDM.
This section presents a brief description of Mill Creek and presents the
design discharge for the existing levee.
General
3-03 The Mill Creek watershed (pl. 20) in the San Bernardino
Mountains, has a drainage area of 52 mi .Elevations range from
11,502 feet at San Gorgonio Peak to 1,700 feet at the confluence with
the Santa Ana River. The principal channel of Mill Creek flows westerly
and has an average gradient of 565 ft/mile for the area upstream from
the levee. The maximum gradients of the smaller tributaries exceed
1,900 ft/mile. The watershed is presently in a natural undeveloped
state and is expected to remain in that state during the life of the
project. The existing Mill Creek levee and some channel stabilization
improvements are the only existing flood control structures on Mill
Creek.
3-04 Mean seasonal precipitation for the project drainage area ranges
from about 45 inches in the headwaters to about 20 inches at the site of
the levee and averages about 32 inches. Nearly all precipitation occurs
III-1
during the months of December through March. Rainless periods of
several months during the summer season are common. Most precipitation
in the drainage area results from general winter storms that are
associated with extratropical cyclones of north Pacific origin. Major
storms consisting of one or more cyclonic disturbances, occasionally
last 4 days or more, and result in intense precipitation over large
areas. Thunderstorms that may result in intense precipitation during
short periods over small areas occur occasionally either in association
with general storms or independently. Summer thunderstorms and tropical
cyclones are infrequent. Snow is common in winter at the higher
elevations, but records indicate that peak flows resulting from rainfall
are usually not affected appreciably by snowmelt.
3-05 Runoff concentrates quickly from the steep slopes in the mountains
and hydrographic records show that the streamflow increases rapidly in
response to effective rainfall. High-intensity rainfall, in combination
with the effects of steep gradients and possible denudation by fire, can
result in highly intense, debris-laden floods. Except for a few days in
some years, Mill Creek streamflow is perennial upstream from the canyon
mouth, but intermittent in the levee reach and usually dry in the summer
season.
Design Flood Peak Discharge
3-06 The design flood peak discharge of 33,000 ft3 /s, used for the
entire levee reach, is the standard project flood (SPF) peak
discharge. The SPF peak discharge was derived from the SPF hydrograph
(fig. 1), which was developed by critically centering a general winter
standard project storm over the Mill Creek watershed upstream of its
confluence with the Santa Ana River.

IV. HYDRAULIC DESIGN
Introduction
4-01 Hydraulic analysis and design for the recommended flood control
improvements are in accordance with procedures in EM 1110-2-1601,
"Hydraulic Design of Flood Control Channels." Background information on
the project was obtained from Mill Creek historical records documented
in "Report on Engineering Aspects--Floods of January and February 1969,"
(compiled in 1974 by the Los Angeles District) and from field data found
at local archives. The recommended project plan is designed to contain
all flood discharges up to the Standard Project Flood of 33,000 ft3 /s.
Existing Project Conditions
4-02 About 2 miles upstream of the project, Mill Creek flows out of a
narrow canyon onto an alluvial fan and divides into a number of smaller
channels. A rock outcrop on the left bank just upstream of the project
causes the channel to turn to the right. High ground on the right bank
confines the debris cone to a narrow channel. Stone masonry floodwalls
built in 1938 tie into the left bank rock outcrop and directs the
floodflows to the high ground on the right bank (pl. 2). The project
reach begins at the existing Corps levee which ties into the masonry
floodwall.
4-03 The original Corps project, completed in 1960, consists of a
single levee in three segments (total length 2.6 miles) on the south
bank of Mill Creek and grading of the channel in the vicinity of the
levee. The levee side slope was revetted with grouted stone except for
the downstream 1,870 feet (stas. 70+00 to 88+70) where dumped stone was
placed on the levee slope. The top of the levee is between 4 and
11 feet above the design grade, and the grouted stone extended to a toe
depth at least 7 feet below the design grade. Structures in the project
reach included Garnet Street Bridge (sta. 130+00) and two Bear Valley
Mutual Water Company aqueducts (levee stas. 68+00 and 196+00).
4-04 Mill Creek Levee confines floodwaters to the extreme right of the
alluvial fan, which in recent geologic time has been its natural course.
In the flood of 1938, however, before the stone floodwalls were built, a
flow split occurred at this location and floodflows were diverted down a
IV-1
manmade irrigation channel called "The Zanja" on the left side of the
fan (pl. 2). Redlands, the major population center on the Mill Creek
alluvial fan, sustained damage in 1938 from the flooding Zanja.
4-05 Through the project reach, Mill Creek maintains a slope of about
4 percent. The channel thalweg contacts the levee at the upstream end,
but moves to the right side of the channel through the Garnet Street
Bridge, and continues on the right side downstream to the Sinta Ana
River. The existing levee was designed to convey 33,000 ft /s with
5 feet of freeboard for bank to bank flow. However, smaller magnitude
floods have produced meandering flows which have attacked and damaged
the levee.
4-06 Since 1960, the existing levee has prevented floods from damaging
the nearby population centers of Mentone and Redlands. But Los Angeles
District engineers inspecting the levee during and after major floods
have concluded that the levee has failed to perform as intended. The
reason for this failure is the instability of the channel bed. Small
flows that break away from the main channel transport massive quantities
of sediment, including large boulders. Upon contact with the levee,
these meandering "cross-channels" deposit ramps of material on the levee
slopes, sometimes to the extent that flows overtop the levee.
Alternately, these attacking flows scour below the levee toe and cause
revetment collapse. Continuing development has increased the need for
safe conveyance of Mill Creek floodwaters down the right side of the fan.
Historic Flooding and Remedial Measures
4-07 Five damaging floods occurred on Mill Creek after completion of
the original levee project in 1960. Rehabilitation measures were under-
taken after each flood and, in 1970, after extensive watershed burns.
Historic profiles and cross-sections are shown on plates 21 through 27.
Post-project flood events and associated rehabilitation costs are
summarized in table IV-1.
HISTOR:CAL DMAGE
4-08 Much of the 1965 flood damage was due to the natural phenomena of
meandering and braiding. While the main channel safely conveyed most of
the flood through the project reach, minor flows broke away at several
places and directly contacted the levee. The impingement of these
attacking channels caused local scour in some reaches and heavy deposi-
tion in others. Near levee station 195+90, the channel scoured 10 feet
below the channel elevation at the levee, destroyed a 24-inch diameter
pipeline, and then deposited back 7 feet of sediment. At this same
location an 8-foot section of levee toe revetment was carried away by
the flood. Deposition against the masonry floodwall (upstream from the
existing levee) occurred to within 2 feet of its top, Heavy deposition
against the levee occurred at several places upstream of Garnet Street
between stations 160+00 and 196+00. Minor levee overtopping occurred at
locations in this reach where the stream deposited material nearly to
the levee top.

4-09 Damage in 1966 was very similar to that of 1965 except that it was
less severe upstream from Garnet Street and more severe downstream. At
Garnet Street, sediment plugged the bridge and was deposited 3 feet
thick on the deck. Downstream from Garnet, scour to and below the levee
toe caused some revetment damage (pl. 24). Near station 95+00 Sediment
deposition formed a ramp (see paras. 4-26 to 4-34) allowing about 1,000
ftl/s to overtop the levee. In addition, part of the ungrouted levee
(stas. 75+00 to 77+00) was completely destroyed by the scour action of
meandering and braiding flow which had separated from the main channel.
4-10 The flood of January 1969 caused severe deposition in places both
upstream and downstream from Garnet Street. Minor overtopping of flows
occurred at the upstream location, but flows were diverted back into the
channel by high ground. Overtopping flow estimated at 1,000 ft3 /s also
occurred in the downstream reach ne r station 90+00. Garnet Street
bridge was flanked by about 1000 fti/s which broke away on the upstream
left bank and destroyed a section of the roadway approach. Flow through
the bridge severely undermined but did not topple the downstream gabion
deflection baffles (see para. 4-14).
4-11 A second 1969 flood, in February, continued some of the damage of
the January flood. The flow overtopped the levee again downstream of
Garnet Street, and gabions were undermined in additional places. The
ungrouted downstream end of the existing levee (stas. 70+00 to 73+00)
was completely destroyed by the scour action of meandering and braiding
flow which had separated from the main channel.
4-12 Flooding in February of 1978 caused minor damage. The gabion
deflection baffles placed upstream of Garnet Street after the 1969
flooding were undermined but did not topple.
REHABILITATION
4-13 After each flood the levee was restored to its original condition
(table IV-1). Extensive channel work was performed to hinder meandering
and braiding patterns. A pilot channel was excavated after each flood,
and the material used tj regrade the channel to remove "cross-channels"
and restore a 2.5 percent slope streamward from the levee. In 1970,
excavated material was also used to construct a berm on the north side
of the floodplain in an effort to disrupt the "cross-channel" patterns.
4-14 After the 1966 flooding, further structural measures were
undertaken to try to prevent "cross-channels" from setting up and
directly attacking the levee. Downstream of Garnet Street two gabion
deflection baffles were constructed. The length totaled about 1,500
feet. In 1969 these gabion structures were repaired ard lengthened
another 750 feet and an additional 1100 feet of gabion deflection
baffles were placed upstream of Garnet Street (pl. 2). The upstream
baffles were repaired after the 1978 flood severely undermined them.
IV-4
4-15 Damages from historic post-project floods on Mill Creek have been
almost exclusively incurred to flood control structures such as the
levee or gabion deflection baffles. Only the damage to Garnet Street in
1969 and to a private fence in 1966 were unrelated to flood control
structures.
RECOHENED PROJECT
4-16 The recommended project (pls. 3 through 14) is an improvement of
the original project required to assure conveyance of the standard
project flood. The re I ommended project will contain the design
discharge of 33,000 ft Is; provide for long term aggradation,
degradation trends; and control local scour and deposition.
4-17 The components of the recommended project are:
a. Raising the top of the existing levee between station 70+00, the
downstream end of the project, and station 88+70. The levee
will be raised 4 feet at station 70+00 and taper to a 0 height
increase at station 88+70.
b. Grouting the riprap levee face between stations 70+00 and 88+70.
c. Extending the existing levee toe an average of 7.5 feet between
stations 70+00 and 129+33.33, an average of 8.5 feet between
stations 130+72 and 155+00 and an average of 10 feet between
stations 155.00 and 196+25.37 the upstream end of the project.
d. Constructing a vertical floodwall, average height of 6 feet, on
top of the levee from stations 70+00 to 130+20 and from stations
130+72 to 196+25.37.
e. Restoring a 100-foot strip of streambed adjacent to the levee to
within 7 to 10 feet of the top of the levee. This strip will be
maintained after each flood event.
4-18 The vertical floodwall will provide a minimum of 9.5 feet of
freeboard above the main channel SPF water surface, a minimum of
8.2 feet above the main channel energy grade line, a minimum of 4.5 feet
above the water surface for the impinging flow channel attacking the
levee, and a minimum of 2.5 feet above the energy grade line of that
water surface (see para. 4-31).
4-19 The recommended project eliminates the need for further gabion
baffles construction and repair. The "line of protection" provided by
the levee with the proposed project in place is designed to withstand
direct attack from cross-channels.
4-20 The need for excavation of pilot channels and extensive streambed
grading after each flood is also eliminated by the recommended project.
While some grading will be required, it will be limited to the 100-foot
strip of streambed next to the levee. This grading will function more
to reduce the starting elevation of ramping deposition on levee slopes
(see paras. 4-26 through 4-34), than to hinder cross channels.
IV-5
4-21 Analysis of historic scour at the levee was the basis for
determination of required levee toe depth (pls. 3 through 11). The
recommended toe elevation was established by identifying the maximum
historic depth of scour and providing an additional depth of 5 feet to
account for uncertainties. The streambed elevation at the levee will be
maintained between 7 and 10 feet vertically below the top of the
levee. The 7-foot upper limit was set to insure that the floodWall will
not be overtopped by flows due to ramping. Whereas, the 10-foot lower
limit was set to insure that the revetment will not fail due to local
scour. The downstream reach (stas. 70+00 to 88+70) is aggrading, the
streambed will be maintained at the minimum 7 feet vertical depth from
the top of levee. In the upstream reach (stas. 160+00 to 196+25) the
streambed is degrading, so the streambed will be maintained at a maximum
depth of 10 feet below the top of the levee.
Streambed Analysis
G KRAL
4-22 On Mill Creek, the primary cause of flooding problems is
undesirable sediment movement. Floodwaters are comprised not only of
rapidly flowing water, but also of a range of flowing sediment from fine
sand to large boulders. During a flood the stream will alternately
scour and deposit material depending on rapidly fluctuating sediment
transport capacity. The creek's ability to move large quantities of
boulders, in particular, has been a cause for concern. An analysis of
sedimentation trends on Mill Creek was conducted as an essential factor
in the hydraulic design. Aggradation and degradation are long-term
sedimentation processes.
4-23 If the streambed was stable, the water surface of the Standard
Project Flood would be 3.7 feet below the top of the existing levee
(pls. 21 through 26). This water surface was calculated using the Corps
program HEC-2, with cross-sections spaced an average of 400 feet apart,
and Manning's n-values in the range of .07 to .09. The high n-values
reflect not only the predominance of large diameter material, but also
braided channel bedforms. In addition, a sensitivity analysis on
roughness showed that the water surface, often approaching critical
depth, is not highly sensitive to the choice of n-value. Aggradation,
however, increases the water surface. Degradation increases the ability
of the stream to undercut the existing levee toe. A final threat to
successful functioning of Mill Creek Levee has been a phenomenon called
"sediment ramping", which is discussed in paragraphs 4-26 to 4-34.
HISTORIC TREIDS
4-24 Trends of aggradation and degradation were analyzed by comparing
the topography of three different years: 1958 Corps mapping from the
original project, San Bernardino County mapping (dated 1964 downstream
from Garnet Street and 1967 upstream from Garnet Street), ane 1987 Corps
mapping. The streambed was divided into 80 cross-sections, showing
IV -6
change in streambed elevation over a 30-year period. Plate 27, for
example, shows that at a cross-section near levee station 96+00
(downstream from Garnet Street) channel aggradation is a steady trend.
Table IV-2 summarizes the results for the entire project reach. The
predicted 100-year trend is computed by taking the average trend over
the 30 years of record, adjusting for estimated human impact, and
multiplying by 1.5 (a factor to account for uncertainty). During its
30-year lifetime the existing project has experienced a 50-year flood,
two 27-year floods, and three other floods greater than 12-year in
frequency. The predicted 100-year aggradation and degradation trends
were derived by considering this full range of normal streambed
activity. Human impacts include Garnet Street roadway and bridge,
channel excavation and grading, and gabion deflection baffles.
IMPACT ON DESIGN
4-25 The Mill Creek hydraulic design accounts for aggradation and
degradation trends in the following ways: the levee will be raised four
feet above its existing height at station 70+00, transitioning to the
existing top of levee at station 88+70. This will offset the high
aggradation trend at the lower end of the project. Wall heights will
not in general reflect aggradation trends. The overriding factor in
levee overtopping, and thereby the wall height, is not aggradation, but
rather the sediment-ramping effect discussed in the next section (paras.
4-26 through 4-34). In addition, the freeboard will account for the
general instability of the streambed. Degradation, however, is
accounted for in the design of the levee toe depth.
Sediment Ramping
PHENOMENON DESCRIPTION
4-26 The flow in Mill Creek is typical of high-gradient natural
streams. It is highly unstable, nearly always subcritical but
approaching critical depth. Chutes of supercritical flow develop, but
are short and intermittent. The stream, instead of flowing
supercritically straight down the alluvial fan slope, breaks from the
steeper path, curving to less steep cross-fan slopes. The flow
continuously scours and deposits sediment as it meanders and divides
into braided channels.
4-27 The phenomenon of "sediment ramping" occurs when a meandering
channel ontacts the levee. During floods larger than about
5,000 fts/s, the meandering and braiding actior. of the stream causes
smaller flows to break away from the main channel. These smaller flows
generally scour and meander their own channels and often come in contact
with the levee. Upon initial contact, a sudden change in flow direction
causes local scour. This material, in addition to the incoming sediment
load, gives the stream its full sediment capacity.

*The 100-year trend is the average predicted change in elevation of the
channel bed in feet. The column for channel values indicates the trend
for the main channel only and does not include the full bank to bank
floodplain. The column for levee values indicates the trend for the
100-foot strip of streambed next to the levee. Human impacts have been
accounted for and include the following: bridge and roadway, channel
excavation and grading, and gabion deflection baffles.
IV-8
4-28 Such attaiking channels have been observed to carry flows up to a
K few thousand ft Is with bottom widths up to 50 feet. They curve away
from the main channel at angles near 25 degrees on slopes in the range
of .035 to .05. Attacking channel flow is highly unstable, undulating
and breaking into whitewater. As it flows parallel to the levee,
sediment begins to drop out and a natural levee forms on the channelward
side. The attacking channel thus confines itself to the levee until it
regains the scour capacity to break from its own levee formation.
Another factor in deflecting the attacking channel back toward the main
channel is that the longer this channel remains confined to the levee
the steeper the channelward slopes become.
4-29 The steepening channelward slope is due to the fact that
deposition by the attacking channel not only builds a natural levee but
also a rising invert or ramp (see para. 4-30). The quantity and extent
of the deposition in the form of a ramp is a function of the duration of
flow. The resulting profile slope of the attacking channel flattens
gradually during the flood. Field observations of actual ramps at Mill
Creek have shown that the ramp tends to approach a .02 slope. Since the
top of levee slope is about .04, the flatter ramp slope will intersect
the top of levee at some downstream location. As a result the flow on
the ramp overtops the levee.
HYDRAULIC ANALYSIS OF SEDIMENT RAMPING
4-30 The purpose of the sediment ramping analysis is to determine
required wall height, which is a function of ramp length. A ramp with a
2 percent slope will "rise" to meet the top of levee (4 percent slope)
at a rate of 2 feet vertically per 100 horizontally. Note that the ramp
slope is not adverse. Given the elevation that ramping begins (the
streambed elevation at the levee), and the length that a ramp will reach
during a flood, the required wall height may be calculated.
4-31 Ramp length is a function of the full flood hydrograph (discharge
and duration), the attack channel hydrograph, sediment discharge, and
sediment volume required for ramp and natural levee building. The
Standard Project Flood predicted ramp length was determined in the
following manner:
a. A typical attacking channel size, shape, and slope was estimated
from field observation, historical data, and attacking channel
discharge. Ten percent of the total design flow was used to
calculate the sediment volume for the levee ramp.
b. Sediment discharge was computed using he best available
equation (Meyer-Peter), calibrated with Mill Creek flood data.
Since two 50-year floods have occurred on Mill Creek since the
existing levee was constructed, the sediment discharge equation
vias adjusted to match observed ramps. It was then used to
compute the SPF sediment discharge.
c. Sediment accumulation resulted because incoming sediment
discharge was calculated to be more than outgoing (due to
flattening slope). The difference between incoming and outgoing
IV-9
was the sediment discharge available for ramp and natural levee
building. This sediment volume was calculated from the sediment
accumulation hydrograph by dividing by the flood duration.
d. Historical field data indicated that the ramp tends to Approach
a 0.02 slope, so ramp volume was computed as a function of ramp
length and size of typical attacking channel. By trial and
error a ramp length of 170 feet was determined.
e. The maximum height of the ramping channel water surface was
determined by calculating critical depth at the flood peak. The
water surface for SPF resulted in a depth above the existing
levee top of 1.4 feet. The corresponding height of the energy
grade line above the top of the levee was 3.5 feet.
IMPACT CM DESIGN
4-32 A floodwall was chosen as the best engineering solution to prevent
levee overtopping. A vertical wall face will be more effective in
deflecting the attacking flow into the channel. Field observations have
concluded that sediment does not climb as well against a wall as on a
sloping levee face.
4-33 The ramp length was calculated assuming an initial streambed
elevation of 7 feet below the top of levee, which is true for much of
the project reach, since the design requires maintenance of this minimum
7-foot clearance for a 100-foot strip of streambed next to the levee.
4-34 Freeboard was incorporated into the wall height calculation. A
6-foot wall provides freeboard of 4.5 feet above the water surface and
2.5 feet above the energy grade line. This accounts for uncertainties
in the calculations as well as for the general instability of the
streambed.

V. GBOLOGY, SOILS AND MATERIALS
Regional Geologic Setting
5-01 The Mill Creek Valley is located at the southern base of the San
Bernardino Mountains, which are in the eastern part of the Transverse
Ranges physiographic province. The Transverse Ranges province is an
elongated geomorphic and structural unit that trends essentially
east-west, and is made up of chains of parallel mountain ranges and
valleys extending from Point Arguello eastward to the southern Mojave
Desert. The principal geomorphic and structural features of the
Transverse Ranges lie across the grain of adjacent physiographic
provinces, which are strongly influenced by the northwest-southeast-
trending San Andreas fault system (pl. 28). Within and bounding the
Transverse Ranges province are other major fault zones that have been
active during the same span of geologic time that the San Andreas system
has been active. Rock units within the province are represented by
Precambrian plutonic and metamorphic types, and complex sections of
Cretaceous and younger plutonic and sedimentary rocks.
Site Topography and Geology
5-02 The project is located in an east-west trending valley which
extends from the mouth of Mill Creek Canyon on the east to the Mill
Creek/Santa Ana River confluence on the west. The valley is bounded by
the San Bernardino Mountains on the north and the Crafton Hills on the
south, and is 1 to 2 miles wide. Elevations in the project area vary
from 1,800 to 2,300 feet above NGVD, with a westward gradient of about
220 feet per mile. The existing structures are founded primarily on
recent alluvium deposited by Mill Creek in a strip less than 1,000 feet
wide along the center of the valley. Quaternary alluvium is exposed in
the remaining portion of the valley floor, underlying the Recent
alluvium and resting on bedrock. The total thickness of alluvium is
generally 100 to 200 feet along the center of the valley. In the
vicinity of the levees at Garnet Street, however, there are occasional
exposures of bedrock, consisting of Precambrian pelona schist and
Tertiary quartz monzonite.
V-1
Faulting and Seisicity
5-03 The region surrounding the project is highly faulted and
tectonically active (pls. 29 and 30). The Crafton fault, a northeast-
trending normal fault, extends under the project structure near Garnet
Street. This fault is part of the Crafton Hills horst and graben
complex, which has been active in both Pleistocene and Recent time. The
south branch of the San Andreas fault is located about a mile north of
the project, and is the dominant seismic feature in the area. This
stretch of the San Andreas fault has exhibited a slip rate of as much as
25 mm/yr., and is considered capable of a maximum credible earthquake of
magnitude 8+. Assuming an epicenter 1 mile from the project, a peak
ground acceleration exceeding 0.7 g could occur at the site during such
an event (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, SPD, 1979).
Groundwater
5-04 Groundwater levels along the project alignment are directly
affected by flows in Mill Creek and the underlying alluvium. Seasonal
runoff appears to be the controlling factor in the geohydrology of the
project site; groundwater levels drop during the winter period of snow
accumulation and little runoff, and then tend to recover during late
spring and summer snowmelt. In general, high groundwater levels have
occurred from March through October, when depths to water may be as
little as 10 to 15 feet below the streambed. The lowest levels occur
from November through February, and may drop to as much as 150 feet
below the surface. Groundwater pumping for irrigation, discharge from
powerhouses, and diversions for irrigation, domestic use, and spreading
all occur throughout the year at various locations in the valley, and
may modify the normal patterns. Groundwater elevations may vary
considerably in the vicinity of Garnet Street, due to the presence of
the Crafton fault groundwater barrier. Groundwater levels tend to be
uniform across the fault at depths of 10 to 15 feet, however, when the
depth to groundwater is 20 feet or more upstream of the fault, the
groundwater level downstream may drop as low as 80 feet below the
streambed.
Investigations
PUEIOUS IIVSTIG&TIOKS
5-05 Prior to design and construction of the levees in 1960, the
foundation conditions at the project site were determined by visual
observation of the streambed surface and the existing cut banks in the
project reach. The foundation materials were observed to be recent
alluvium consisting of streambed sand, gravel, cobbles, and boulders up
to approximately 3 feet in diameter. The larger materials were more
abundant in the upstream portion of the project.
V-2
RECENT INVESTIGATIONS
5-06 An investigation of the pervious borrow area for Seven Oaks Dam
was conducted in October 1986. This investigation is considered to be
representative of Mill Creek foundation conditions due to their close
proximity and the similarity between material types of both sites. The
area investigated is located approximately 1 mile downstream of the Mill
Creek Levee project site at the confluence of Mill Creek and the Santa
Ana River.
5-07 Five test pits were excavated to depths ranging from 18 to 24 feet
using a Cat 235 tracked backhoe with a 4-foot wide bucket. Since the
deposits were observed to be uniform with depth, samples were obtained
by scraping the vertical walls of the pit and then cleaning out the
materials which fell to the bottom of the pit. Approximately
40,000 pounds of material was removed from each pit for soils testing.
INVESTIGATION DURING ADVERTISING PERIOD
5-08 In order to better ascertain the material types to be excavated at
Mill Creek, test trenches will be excavated during the contract
advertising period. The trenches will be located as close to the levee
toe as reasonably possible and will be spaced far enough apart to
represent the entire levee reach. Testing of the materials obtained
from the trenches will not be required; the trenches are intended to
provide the contractor with a visual evaluation only. A visual
observation of the material types will allow contractors to determine
the extent of processing that will be required to provide floodwall
backfill and stone for the grouted stone revetment.
Field and Laboratory Testing Results
5-09 Mass gradations were determined for the materials sampled from the
Seven Oaks Dam pervious borrow area. The gradation of plus 3-inch
material was determined in the field. Results indicate that the
materials larger than 3 inches range from 49 to 59 percent of the total
sample. The maximum size of the rock in the samples ranges from 20 to
36 inches in diameter; however, rocks up to 60 inches in diameter were
excavated from the test pits. Gradations of the minus 3-inch materials
were determined at the South Pacific Division laboratory and at the Los
Angeles District laboratory. The minus 3-inch materials classified as
gravelly sands (SP).
5-10 Maximum dry densities for the minus 3-inch portions of the samples
were determined using vibratory compaction methods (ASTM D 4253). The
results indicate that the average maximum dry density for the minus
3-inch claterial is about 132 pcf.
5-11 Consolidated drained and consolidated undrained triaxial
compression tests were conducted on 12-inch diameter samples of gravelly
sand, compacted to 95 percent of maximum density at 3 percent over
optimum moisture content. The tests were run at confining pressures of
1, 2.5, 5, and 10 tsf, and the pore pressures were monitr,,ed during the
V-3
undrained tests. The maximum size particle in these tests was 2 inches.
The results indicate a 0' angle of 40.5 degrees for the consolidated
drained tests, and a 0' angle of 36.5 degrees for the consolidated
undrained tests with pore pressure measurements.
Design Values
FOUNDATION
5-12 Design values for the Mill Creek Levee foundation are based upon
tests conducted on the Seven Oaks Dam pervious borrow materials. A 0
angle of 36 degrees was conservatively assumed for the foundation
materials. The in situ density of the foundation is assumed to be 135.0
pcf at a moisture content of 8 percent. The density of the foundation
for saturated conditions is assumed to be 145.0 pcf.
ENBANXENT AND TOE BACKFILL
5-13 The existing Mill Creek Levee was constructed with materials
obtained from the required riverbed excavation as will the proposed
levee enlargement. The design values for the existing levee embankment,
the proposed levee enlargement and the toe backfill are assumed to be
the same as those presented above for the levee foundation due to the
similarity of material types. The maximum allowable bearing capacity of
the levee for the proposed floodwall is 6,000 pounds per square foot and
the coefficient of friction between the concrete floodwall and the levee
materials is 0.6.
Stability Analysis
5-14 A typical levee section with the recommended modifications,
landward side slopes of 1V on 2H and river side slopes of 1V on 2.25H,
was analyzed for slope stability (assuming a levee height of 16 feet).
Saturated conditions were not considered in the analysis because of
relatively low groundwater and grouted side slopes which will prevent
major seepage into the levee from floodflows. The end of construction
case was analyzed for the river side slope using a computer aided
circular search which employs Spencer's procedure. The factor of safety
for stability was calculated to be 1.9. kdditionally, the river side
slope was analyzed for surficial slides using the infinite slope method
and the factor of safety was calculated to be 1.6.
Construction Considerations
EXCAV&TION
5-15 Temporary slopes for the required streambed excavation at the
levee toe and for the levee excavation (i.e., for the floodwall) will be
no steeper than 1V on 1H. Bedrock may occur within the excavation
limits in the vicinity of Garnet Street, and will consist of hard, dense
V-4
schist and granitic rocks. Since excavation will be for placement of
revetment for protection of the levee toes, excavation will be
terminated at bedrock.
PLACEMENT AND COMPACTION
5-16 Compacted fill, if required, will be obtained from the riverbed.
The fill will be specified to have a maximum particle size of 9 inches
and will be placed in 12-inch layers. Each layer will be compacted to
95 percent of maximum density (ASTM D 4253). Any materials removed from
the existing levee embankment during the floodwall construction will be
replaced and compacted as stated above.
SLOPE PROTECTION
5-17 The stone to be used for the grouted stone slope protection will
be well graded and range in size from 4 inches to 12 inches.
Construction Materials
BORROW MATERIAL SOURCES
5-18 Materials required for borrow can be obtained from the riverbed in
the area of the required toe excavation. Processing of these materials
will be required in order to remove stone which exceeds the maximum
stone size requirement. Oversized stone can be disposed of in the levee
toe backfill, provided it is not placed directly against the grouted
stone revetment.
STORE MATERIALS
5-19 There are six quarries (table V-I) within 30 miles of the project
which have recently produced stone suitable for use on Corps of
Engineers' projects.

Stone for revetment may be obtained from these sources, as well as other
nearby quarries with suitable test results or service records. The
alluvium along the Mill Creek channel contains as much as 50 percent
over 6-inch material, and may be processed to produce rock for grouted
stone revetment.
Concrete Materials
STRUCTURAL EUIXTS
5-20 Structural elements to be constructed of concrete for the Mill
Creek Levee will be a concrete floodwall and grouted stone slope
protection.
5-21 The recommended floodwall for the levee will be constructed along
the existing top of levee from: station 88+70 to station 130+20 and
from station 130+72 to station 196+25.37, and on top of the new raised
levee from station 70+00 to station 88+70.
5-22 The height of the wall varies from 5 feet 11 inches to 7 feet
6 inches. The wall is designed as an inverted T-wall. The footing will
be 6 feet in length and will rest on top of the levee. The thickness of
the stem and footing will be 8 inches and 10 inches respectively. A
cutoff wall, 3 feet deep and 10 inches thick, will be provided at the
end of the footing (river side). See plate 14 for a typical floodwall
section.
5-23 Grouted stone revetment will be constructed from station 70+00 to
station 88+70. The toe will be about 18 feet below the new top of the
levee and will have a thickness of 18 inches. Additionally, the existing
grouted stone toe revetment from station 88+70 to station 129+33.33 and
station 130+72 to station 196+25.37 will be extended. From station
88+70 to station 129+33.33 the new toe depth will vary from 2 to 8 feet
below the existing toe with a thickness of 18 inches. From
station 130+72 to station 196+25.37 the new toe depth will vary from
8 to 12.5 feet below the existing toe with a thickness of 18 inches.

CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
5-25 The climate of the Mill Creek Levee drainage area is subtropical
semi-arid with warm summers and relatively mild winters. From late
spring through mid-fall, with the greatest intensities during the
summer, the channel area is subject to air pollution accumulation
between the late morning and early evening. Variations in the climate
are almost entirely due to seasonal changes.
5-26 The area is generally mild, free from extremely low winter
temperatures and relatively immune to extremely high summer
temperatures. Summers are pleasantly warm, with daily maximum
temperatures averaging around 950 F (extreme highs around 115 0 F) and
nocturnal minimums ranging from 360 F to near 580 F. Winters are cool,
with mild days. Normal daily winter temperatures range from highs of
680 F to lows of 370 F (all-time extremes from 170 F to 930 F).
5-27 The relative humidity in the Mill Creek Levee area can vary from
zero to 100 percent. Typical ranges during most of the year are from 80
to 90 percent during the early morning hours and 30 to 50 percent during
the early afternoon.
5-28 Mean seasonal precipitation in the drainage area is approximately
32 inches. The primary rainy season is winter (November-April), with
the heaviest precipitation occurring normally from December through
mid-March. Summer (June-September) is the driest time of the year.
CEMTS
Cement Sources
5-29 There are a relatively large number of cement producers in and
near the Los Angeles Basin which are capable of supplying cement
certified by the Corps of Engineers ongoing cement certification
program. Among these plants are the Califorinia Portland Cement Company
plant at Colton, the Kaiser Cement Company plant at Lucerne Valley, the
Southwestern Cement Company plant at Victorville, and the Riverside
Cement Company plant at Riverside. All of these plants are in the State
of California. The following paragraphs summarize the types of cements
which these plants produce. Table V-3 supplies prices of various
cements from the sources specified, and table V-4 contains cost data on
the shipping of cement.
5-30 The California Portland Cement Company plant at Colton, located
approximately 15 miles west of the project site produces Type II and III
cements conforming to the requirements of ASTM C 150.
5-31 The Kaiser Cement Company plant in the Lucerne Valley, located
approximately 55 miles north of the project site produces Type II cement
conforming to the requirements of ASTM C 150. This plant also produces
a blended cement conforming to the requirements of ASTM C 595, Type IP.
V-7
5-32 The Riverside Cement Company plant at Oro Grande, California,
located approximately 53 miles north of the project site produces
Type II cement conforming to the requirements of ASTM C 150.

Pozzolans
5-34 ETL 1110-1-127, dated 17 August 1984, allows the use of flyash in
concrete construction except in those cases where its use can be proven
to be undesirable. The local practice of the ready-mix concrete
industry is to use flyashes as pozzolanic admixtures in concrete. The
reason for this is the reduction of heat of hydration, reduction in cost
due to the price of flyashes in comparison to the price of cement,
increase in workability at lower water contents, and the reduction in
the alkali-aggregate reaction. The practice of local agencies is to
specify Type F flyash generally conforming to the requirements of
ASTM C 618. The Corps of Engineers has recently started a program to
evaluate the quality and uniformity of flyashes and has set up a
certification plan similar to the one used for cements. Materials
conforming to these requirements are produced at the plants shown on
plate 31. The closest local producer, the Western Ash Company, supplies
flyash, conforming to the requirements of ASTM C 628, Type F, from a
plant at Page, Arizona. A local distribution point is at San
Bernardino, California approximately 12 miles west of the project
site. F type ash would be available from this source at a cost of
$40 per ton.
AGGREGATES
5-35 The Waterways Experiment Station Technical Memorandum No. 6-370,
September 1953, titled "Test Data, Concrete Aggregates in Continental
United States," Volume 1, Area 3, Western United States, indicates that
the vicinity of the Mill Creek Levee project has a large number of
sources capable of producing aggregates suitable for use in concrete
construction. In accordance with EM 1110-2-2000 some of these sources
were sampled and tested at the South Pacific Division Laboratory by the
Los Angeles District in the Spring of 1985. The names and locations of
the sources are shown on plate 31.
5-36 Testing consisted of petrographic analysis, elementary physical
tests, tests for potential reactivity of aggregates and a concrete check
mix. The tests indicate that aggregates suitable for use in all aspects
of concrete construction are available from local sources. The results
of the laboratory work are reported hereafter.
Geologic Aspects of Aggregate Sources
GHERAL
5-37 All aggregates from suppliers listed herein are mined from major
streambeds on the alluvial plains several miles downstream from the
southern margin of the San Bernardino Mountains. The aggregates are
processed from alluvium which is derived from rocks exposed in the
mountain regions surrounding the streams and their tributaries. The
igneous and metamorphic basement complex of the San Bernardino Mountains
is the most abundant terrane in the source area, consequently most of
the aggregate is composed of those rock types.
V-9
LITLE CREEK
5-38 Both Owl Rock Company and Fourth Street Crusher are located in the
Lytle Creek streambed, 4 and 6 miles downstream from the mouth of the
Lytle Creek Canyon, respectively. Most of the rocks in the Lytle Creek
basin are Tertiary diorite, Cretaceous granite and diorite,
pre-Cretaceous pelona schist, and various Precambrian metamorphic
rocks. The granite, granodiorite, and diorite predominate in samples
from these suppliers, along with significant amounts of schist, gneiss,
quartizite, and various metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks. Minor
amounts of gabbro are also present, from Mesozoic exposures west of the
canyon. Fina aggregate (No. 4 and smaller) produced from these two
sources contain fragments of all of the above rocks, along with
individual grains of hornblende, quartz, biotite and feldspars.
SANTA ANA RIVER
5-39 The C. L. Pharris Company is located in the Santa Ana River
streambed approximately 5 miles downstream from the mouth of the Santa
Ana River Canyon. This source was previously operated by the
Livingston-Graham Company. Rock exposed in the Santa Ana River drainage
consists mainly of Mesozoic intrusives and Precambrian igneous and
metamorphic rocks. Rock produced at the C. L. Pharris plant is
predominantly Mesozoic diorite, granodiorite, and gabbro, along with
Precambrian schist. A small proportion of sandstone and siltstone
fragments is also present, derived from scattered outcrops of Te-tiary
sediments. Fine aggregate consists of individual grains of feldspar,
quartz, and biotite, with some fragments of granite, quartzite, schist,
and metasedimentary rocks.
SAM GORGONIO RIVER
5-40 The Beaumont Concrete Company is located in the San Gorgonio River
floodplain about 6 miles downstream from the mouth of San Gorgonio River
Canyon. Aggregate produced by this supplier is composed primarily of
Mesozoic granite, granodiorite, gabbro, and diorite. Pelona schist is
also present, as well as gneiss and miscellaneous metamorphic
lithologies probably derived from Precambrian outcrops. Fine aggregate
from the Beaumont Concrete Company contains all of the above rock types
as well as individual grains of the constituent mineral.
Aggregate Sources
OWL ROCK PRODUCTS
5-41 This source is on Lytle Creek approximately 7 miles west of the
project site. The location of this source is shown on plate 31. This
source excavates alluvial sands and gravels from the Lytle Creek
streambed deposits. Samples of aggregates were obtained from this
source in 1985 and were tested at the SPD Laboratory. Aggregate test
results are shown in table V-5 and in figure 2.
V-10
5-42 At the time of the sampling the plant was producing three rock
sizes and a washed concrete sand, which were sampled for testing. The
course sized materials included 2-, 1-1/2-, and 3/8-inch topsize
materials. The 2-inch material meets the Standard Specifications for
Public Works Construction (SSPWC), a local specifying group made up of
public agencies and suppliers, specifications size No. 2, and ASTM C 33,
size No. 4. The 1-1/2-inch material meets the SSPWC specifications size
No. 3 and ASTM C 33 size No. 56. The 3/8-inch material meets the SSPWC
size No. 4 but does not meet any ASTM size standard. The washed
concrete sand conforms to both the SSPWC and ASTM C 33 size for washed
concrete sand. Gradations determined from the samples taken are shown
in table V-5.
5-43 The rock sizes tested had specific gravities (Sp. Gr.) of 2.65 to
2.67 with Sp. Gr. of 2.67 and above for aggregates greater than 3/4-inch
in size. The sand had a Sp. Gr. of 2.63. The aggregates had
absorptions of 1.0 to 1.9 percent for the coarse and 1.6 percent for the
fines. The coarse aggregate has an abrasion loss of 24 percent when
tested in accordance with ASTM C 131, using gradation A. The chemical
method of reactivity of aggregates was performed and the results are
shown in figure 2. The test results indicate that there should be no
unfavorable reactions between cements and the aggregates. The
aggregates are generally of slightly higher quality than those found in
the Los Angeles Basin, but are about average for the local
San Bernardino area.
4TH STREET CRUSHER
5-44 This source is on Lytle Creek approximately 15 miles west of the
project site. This source excavates alluvial sands and gravels from
Lytle Creek streambed deposits near its confluence with the Santa Ana
River. The location of this source is shown on plate 31. Samples of
aggregates were obtained from this source in 1985 and were tested at the
SPD Laboratory. Aggregate test results are shown in table V-6 and
figures 3 and 4.
5-45 At the time of sampling, the plant was producing three rock sizes
and a washed concrete sand, which were sampled for testing. The coarse
sized materials included 2-, 1-1/2-, and 3/8-inch topsize materials.
The 2-inch material meets SSPWC specifications size No. 2, and
ASTM C 33, size No. 4. The 1-1/2-inch material met the ASTM C 33 size
No. 56 and barely failed the SSPWC size No. 3 on the 3/8 inch screen.
The 3/8-inch material does not meet any size standard. The washed
concrete sand conforms to both the SSPWC and ASTM C 33 size for washed
concrete sand. Gradations determined from the samples taken are shown
in table V-6.
5-46 The rock sizes tested had Sp. Gr. of 2.65 to 2.69 with Sp. Gr. of
2.68 and above for aggregates greater than 3/4-inch in size. The sand
had a Sp. Gr. of 2.63. The aggregates had absorptions of 1.0 to
1.6 percent for the coarse and 1.2 percent for the fines. The coarse
aggregate has an abrasion loss of 25 percent when tested in accordance
with ASTM C 131, using gradation A. The chemical method of reactivity
of aggregates was performed and the results are shown in figure 3.

The test results indicate that there should be no unfavorable Veactions
between cements and the aggregates. Mortar bar test results show
expansion of +0.025 percent at 180 days and +0.012 percent at 335 days
for high alkali cement. Expansions of +0.009 percent at 180 days and
360 days are noted for low alkali cements. Detailed results are shown
in figure 4. The aggregates are generally of slightly higher quality
than those found in the Los Angeles Basin, but are about average for the
local San Bernardino area.
5-47 Subsequent review of this source in December 1987 indicated that
the pit was no longer able to produce coarse aggregates. The only
material being produced from the pit at this time was a concrete sand.
Large size materials are periodically washed into the pit as a result of
streamflows. The extended drought has introduced no coarse size
materials into the pit, and as a consequence this source at this time
does not supply coarse aggregates. If materials are deposited
subsequent to this report it is anticipated that they will have
properties similar to those described herein. In accordance with SPD
criteria, this source and or any other source used in construction will
be subject to verification testing.
BEAU MOT CONCRETE COMPANY
5 -4 8 This source is near Cabazon approximately 10 miles southeast of
the project site. This source excavates alluvial sands and gravels.
The location of this source is shown on plate 31. Samples of aggregates
were obtained from this source in 1985 and were tested at the SPD
Laboratory, Aggregate test results are shown in table V-7 and
figures 5 and 6.
5-49 At the time of sampling, the plant was producing three rock sizes
and a washed concrete sand, which were sampled for testing. The coarse
sized materials included 2-, 1-1/2-, and 3/8-inch topsize materials.
The 2-inch material meets the SSPWC specifications size No. 2, and
ASTM C 33, size No. 4. The 1-1/2-inch material meets the SSPWC
specifications size No. 3 and ASTM C 33 size No. 56. The 3/8-inch
material does not meet any size standard. The washed concrete sand
conforms to both the SSPWC and ASTM C 33 size for washed concrete sand.
Gradations determined from the samples taken are shown in table V-7.
5-50 The rock sizes tested had Sp. Gr. of 2.63 to 2.67 with Sp. Gr. of
2.68 and above for aggregates greater than 3/4-inch in size. The sand
had a Sp. Gr. of 2.66. The aggregates had aborptions of 1.0 to 2.7
percent for the coarse and 1.2 percent for the fines. The coarse
aggregate has an abrasion loss of 39.1 percent when tested in accordance
with ASTM C 131, using gradation A. This result is 3lightly higher than
desired but conforms to ASTM and SSPWC requirements. The chemical
method of reactivity of aggregates was performed and the results are
shown in figure 5. Mortar bar test results show expansion of +0.044
percent at 180 days and +0.040 percent at 335 days for high alkali
cements. A peak expansion of +0.046 percent at 225 days was noted.

Expansions of +0.012 percent at 180 days and +0.014 percent at 335 days
with a peak of +0.016 percent at 55 days were noted for low alkali
cements. Detailed results are shown in figure 6. Although the values
are below the limits for expansion, +0.05 percent at 180 days and +0.10
percent at 360 days in accordance with EM 1110-2-2000, these reaction
results are much higher than most results in the Los Angeles District.
Use of these aggregates may require special requirements.
C. L. PHARRIS
5-51 This source is on the Santa Ana River approximately 6 miles west
of the project site. This source was previously identified as
Livingston Graham. This source excavates alluvial sands and gravels
from Santa Ana River streambed deposits. The location of this source is
shown on plate 31. Samples of aggregates were obtained from this source
in 1985 and were tested at the SPD Laboratory. Aggregate test results
are shown in table V-8 and figures 7 and 8.
5-52 At the time of sampling, the plant was producing three rock sizes
and a washed concrete sand, which were sampled for testing. The coarse
sized materials included 2-, 1-1/2-, and 3/8-inch topsize materials.
The 2-inch material meets the SSPWC specifications size No. 2, and
ASTM C 33, size No. 4. The 1-1/2-inch material failed the SSPWC
specifications for size No. 3 on the 3/8-inch screen, but meets
ASTM C 33 size No. 56. The 3/8-inch material does not meet any size
standard. The washed concrete sand failed both the SSPWC and ASTM C 33
size for washed concrete sand due to the presence of excess fines.
Gradations determined from the samples taken are shown in table V-8.
5-53 The rock sizes tested had Sp. Gr. of 2.62 to 2.66 with Sp. Gr. of
2.65 and above for aggregates greater than 3/4-inch in size. The sand
had a Sp. Gr. of 2.63. The aggregates had absorptions of 0.8 to
1.7 percent for the coarse and 1.1 percent for the fines. The coarse
aggregate has an abrasion loss of 32.7 percent when tested in accordance
with ASTM C 131, using gradation A. The chemical method of reactivity
of aggregates was performed and the results are shown in figure 7. The
test results indicate that there should be no unfavorable reactions
between cements and the aggregates. Mortar bar test results show
expansions of +0.025 percent at 180 days and +0.015 percent at 335 days
with a peak of +0.030 percent at 235 days for high alkali cement.
Expansions of +0.021 percent at 180 days and +0.013 percent at 335 days
are noted for low alkali cements. Detailed results are shown in
figure 8. The aggregates are generally of slightly higher quality than
those found in the Los Angeles Basin, but are about average for the
local San Bernardino area.

Aggregate Costs
5-54 Estimated unit costs of aggregate for use in construction of the
Mill Creek Levee are given in the following table. The quantities
reflect materials to be used in the structural concrete work but do not
reflect materials to be used in grout for grouted stone. The
differences in tonnages of materials reflect differences in producer
specific mix designs and material properties. The producers selectedmix designs according to the following criteria. The mixes were to be
pumpable with 1-1/2-inch maximum size aggregate.

Sand 5,740 -4.40
4th Street Crusher Coarse 6,830 15 N/A
Sand 4,820 -8.00
Additionally, approximately 6,570 tons of sand will be needed for grout
for the grouted stone requirements of the project.
Water
5-55 Sufficient water suitable for preparation of concrete is available
from commercial sources at the concrete production facilities cited
above. During geotechnical explorations for the Seven Oaks Dam,
groundwater observed in one of the trenches upon drying, left a white
residue. It is believed that the residue may be calcium or carbonate
based. Further studies for Seven Oaks Dam will incluide studies to
determine the exact composition of this residue. For construction of
the Mill Creek Levee, water will be required to conform to the
requirements of CRD C-400, and a low alkali cement is recommended.
V-18
kduixtures
5-56 A wide variety of chemical admixtures are used in southern
California. Based on the structural elements to be constructed, only
the simplest admixtures will be specified. These will include air
entraining agents, and water reducing and retarding admixtures. No
specific need for high range water reducing admixtures or
"Superplasticizers" has been identified.
Mix Design Requirements
5-57 Specifications for concrete and concrete mix designs for
construction of the Mill Creek Levee will be developed to meet the
requirements of ER 1110-2-1150. Specific design requirements will be
developed based on the information supplied in EM 1110-2-2000 and will
consider the types of structures and the anticipated exposure conditions
to which they will be subjected.
5-58 The types of structures to be constructed for the project
described above are relatively simple and the Los Angeles District has
extensive experience in construction of these types of structural
elements.
5-59 Based on EM 1110-2-2000 the maximum water-cement ratio of all
concrete exposed to flowing water shall be limited to 0.45.
Additionally, the nominal maximum size coarse aggregate shall be
specified as 1-1/2 inches.
5-60 An additional requirement will be a limitation on the maximum
placing temperature of the concrete. Based on the ambient weather
conditions reported above and the requirements specified in
EM 1110-2-2000 the maximum placing temperature of concrete will be
limited to 850 F. As a protection from damage by sunlight to freshly
placed concrete, specifications will require that the contractor either
shade freshly placed concrete for 3 days or apply an opaque curing
compound conforming to the requirements of CRD C-300.
Cost of Concrete
5-61 The following table presents current costs for concrete for
construction of the proposed structural elements. Suppliers developed
the costs based on a 1-1/2 inch maximum aggregate size concrete mixture
which would be pumpable and would supply compressive strengths of 3,000
psi at 28 days. The prices include the cost of delivery to the job
site.

Specifications Requirements
5-62 The following information details specification requirements for
construction.
CQDTS
5-63 Cements will be specified to conform to the requirements of
ASTM C 150, Type II, low alkali. The low alkali requirement should
assist in offsetting any potential alkali-aggregate reactivity.
Additionally, Type V cement conforming to the requirements of ASTM C 150
will be specified as an option, although the need for high sulfate
resistance has not been specifically identified. Blended cements shall
conform to the requirements of ASTM C 595, Type IP. Flyash used to
manufacture Type IP cement shall conform to the requirements for
pozzolan.
POZZOQAMS
5-64 Pozzolans for use in concrete construction will be specified to
comply with requirements of ASTM C 618, Type F. The loss on ignition
will be limited to 6 percent maximum. Additionally, the optional
requirements in table 1A shall be invoked.
A. IXTURES
5-65 Admixtures for use in concrete construction will be limited to
water reducers, retarders, accelerators, and air entraining agents
conforming to the following requirements:
a. Water reducing admixtures will conform to the requirements of
ASTM C 494, Types A or D.
b. Retarding admixtures will conform to the requirements of
ASTM C 494, Types B or D.
c. Accelerating admixtures will conform to the requirements of
ASTM C 494, Types C or E. No calcium chloride will be allowed.
V-20
d. Air entraining agents will conform to the requirements of
ASTM C 260.
ALGGREGATES
5-66 Aggregates will be specified to conform to the physical
requirements of ASTM C-33. Sizes of coarse aggregates to be used during
construction will be selected at the time of preparation of plans and
specifications based on materials available in the area at the time of
the proposed construction. Sizes will be selected to conform to the
requirements of ASTM C 33 or to SSPWC paragraph 200-1.4 and shall be a
nominal maximum size of 1-1/2 inches for structural elements over 7-1/2
inches wide, and in which the clear distance between reinforcement bars
is at least 2-1/4 inches. All other elements will use a nominal maximum
size of 3/4 inches.
5-67 The following sources shall be described as supplying suitable
aggregates: (1) existing commercial sources on the Santa Ana River from
its confluence with Mill Creek to upstream from the Southern Pacific RR
bridge in San Bernardino, (2) existing commercial sources on Lytle Creek
and the Cajon Wash to their confluence with the Santa Ana River, and
(3) existing commercial sources on the San Gorgonio River downstream
from the mouth of the San Gorgonio River Canyon.

VI. STRUCTURAL DESIGN
Floodwall
6-01 A floodwall will be provided along the existing levee between
station 70+00 and station 129+33.33 and between station 130+72 and
station 196+25.37. The height of the wall above the existing top of
levee will vary from approximately 5 feet 11 inches to 7 feet 6 inches
according to hydraulic requirements.
6-02 The floodwall will be designed as an inverted T-wall. The footing
will be 6 feet in length and will rest on top of the levee. The
thickness of the stem and the footing will be 8 inches and 10 inches
respectively. A cutoff wall, 3 feet deep and 10 inches thick, will be
provided at the end of the footing (river side).
6-03 The applied forces will be the hydrostatic force, the weight of
concrete and other surcharges above the base of the wall. Uplift
pressure in the base will not be considered because sloping grouted
stone protection will be constructed from the existing grouted stone to
the wall footing, prohibiting the entrance of water under the wall base.
The floodwall loading conditions are shown in figure 9.
6-04 Various water surface elevations will be considered in the design.
References
6-05 The design will be based on accepted engineering practice and will
conform to the following Engineering Manuals (EM's), Engineering
Technical Letters (ETL's), and Engineering Regulations (ER's):

VII. RELOCATION OF STREETS, RAILROADS AND UTILITIES
Under the recommended plan of improvements for the Mill Creek Levee,
there will be no relocation of streets, railroads or utilities. The
Garnet Street bridge, which existed when the original Mill Creek Levee
was constructed, will remain in place and will continue to be subject to
closure during large floods. The bridge does not endanger the
functioning of the flood control project. There are no railroads in the
project area. Bear Valley Mutual Water Company aqueducts (stas. 69+00
and 196+00) will not be affected by the project. Other existing
utilities were relocated or abandoned when the original Mill Creek Levee
was constructed and will not be affected by the proposed improvements.
VI-1
VIII. ACCESS ROADS
8-01 There are paved access roads on the existing levee system which
will be partly removed to construct the floodwall. The roads will be
replaced or overlain along the levee top and widened from the existing
9-foot width to 12 feet wide. They will continue to have gated access
entrances at the Garnet Street crossing. The paved road width will
consist of 4 feet-4 inches of concrete which also serves as the
floodwall footing and 7 feet-8 inches of flexible pavement which will be
constructed adjoining the footing. The access road will be overlain
from station 196+25.37 to station 130+72 and from station 130+20 to
station 88+70. The road will be replaced from station 88+70 to station
70+00. A 2 percent cross slope on the access road will provide drainage
away from the floodwall. There is an existing drainage system on the
landward side of the existing levee.
Geometric Design
8-02 Vehicular access roads, including ramps, will match existing
grades and alignment.
Pavement Design Values
8-03 The flexible pavement forming the paved access roads will be
designed in accordance with Department of the Army TM 5-822-5. Based on
information available in TM 5-825-2 a California Bearing Ratio (CBR)
value of 30 can be assigned to the subgrade when the materials are
compacted to 95 percent of maximum density as determined in accordance
with ASTM D 4253. The road will be used only for operations,
maintenance, and inspections and therefore the average number of daily
vehicle passes is estimated to be less than 25 on each lane. The
traffic to which the road will be exposed will include some small trucks
and a few heavy trucks. Based on the above information the flexible
pavement will be designed in accordance with the following values:
Category of Traffic = III
Class of Road = E
Design Index = 2
VIII-I
8-04 New pavement sections for the access road will consist of a 2-inch
asphaltic concrete layer of 4 inches of an aggregate base course over
6 inches of native materials compacted to 95 percent of maximum density.
Overlays of the existing pavement would consist of a maximum of a 2-inch
and a minimum of a 3/4-inch layer of bituminous surface course. The
overlay thickness would be based on the condition of the existing
pavement after construction of the floodwall.

IX. ENVIRONMTAL ANALYSIS
General
9-01 An environmental impact statement on the proposed flood control
improvements along the mainstem of the Santa Ana River including Mill
Creek was presented in the Phase I General Design Memorandum (GDM) dated
September 1980. For this Phase II GDM, the environmental evaluation has
been updated and broadened to include the presently proposed floodwall
construction on the Mill Creek Levee. Details of the findings and
concerns are presented in the Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement included in the Main Report of this Phase II GDM. This
section presents a brief description of the environmental impacts which
may be brought about as a result of the project. Compensation for
impacts are also discussed.
Environmental Impacts
SEDIMENTATION
9-02 The raising of the Mill Creek Levee, along with the additional toe
protection will not impact sedimentation. The improvements to the levee
will not preclude sedimentation processes from occurring in this area.
WATER RESOURCES
Hydrology and Water Use
9-03 Impacts will not occur to hydrology and water use in this project
area.
Water Quality
9-04 Water quality in the area, other than high sediment loads, is very
good. No impact to the water quality of the area is expected with this
project.
IX-1
AIR QU I Y
9-05 Impacts to air quality will be local and short term, due to
construction activities, and will primarily be associated with vehicle
emissions and dust generation. Increased vehicle emissions would result
from heavy equipment use on the construction site, from trucks hauling
borrow materials to the construction site, and from personal vehicles
driven by construction workers.
LAND USE AND SOCIAL CONCERNS
Prime and Unique Farmlands
9-06 No farmlands are located within or adjacent to the project area.
Recreation
9-07 There is no recreation associated with this project feature. The
maintenance road at the top of the levee will be gated and locked;
public access will not be allowed.
Growth Inducement
9-08 Growth inducement as a result of the improvement to the existing
Mill Creek Levee is a possibility. Although land adjacent to the levee
is mostly owned by water districts and agencies, improved protection on
land side of the levee may increase growth in the newly protected area.
TRAhNSPORTATION AND UTILITIES
Facilities
9-09 No streets, railroads or utilities will be relocated. The Garnet
Street bridge will not be impacted.
Access
9-10 Paved access roads to the existing levee will be removed during
construction, but will be replaced along the levee top as gated roads
for operation and maintenance purposes.
Transport of Borrow Materials
9-11 Borrow materials will be obtained from within 100 feet of the
existing levee on the riverside. No public roads will be used for
transport of borrow materials. There will not be any excess excavation
materials to be disposed of.
NOISE
9-12 The Mill Creek area is a relatively undisturbed area, with some
human-induced noise present due to the presence of Highway 38 which runs
along a part of the levee. The project will have local short-term impacts
to the environment, as construction-related noise will be present.
IX-2
Ti BILOGICAL RRSOURCES
9-13 Alluvial scrub vegetation, located in the streambed, will be
impacted by construction activities, along with minor amounts of juniper
woodland and mulefat. The construction area on both sides of Garnet
Avenue also includes scattered cottonwoods and sycamores. Wildlife
currently utilizing habitat within the construction zone will be
temporarily displaced.
9-14 The recommended improvements of Mill Creek Levee will result in
impacts to a small group (50 to 70 plants) of the Santa Ana River
Woolly-Star (Eriastrum densifolium sanctorum), an endangered species.
There are no other known populations of any endangered or threatened
species which will be impacted. Additional surveys within the vicinity
of Mill Creek were conducted during spring 1988 for the slender-horned
spineflower (Centrostegia). No additional populations of either species
were found during these surveys.
9-15 Compensation for impacts to Eriastrum are covered under the
discussion for Seven Oaks Dam, Volume 1, and are included in that
project feature.
CULTURAL RESOURCES
9-16 The construction of improvements to the levee will result in the
destruction of two non-significant historic sites. Two potentially
significant resources (active aqueduct pipelines) are in the area.
Construction plans are to avoid these two active aqueduct pipelines.
Both pipelines are located outside the project construction limits. The
Bear Valley Highline is located just upstream from station 196+25.37 and
the Redlands Adequduct is just downstream from station 70+00 (pl. 2).
9-17 There is currently no proposed cultural resources mitigation for
the Mill Creek element of the project.
Site Restoration
9-18 Replanting for the temporary loss of habitat, esthetic values, and
for site restoration within Mill Creek, resulting from the recommended
project will consist of reseeding disturbed areas with appropriate
species following completion of all work. Seeding will be accomplished
by broadcast seeding followed by harrowing. Hydroseeding will not be
acceptable as it does not encourage good seed to soil contact. In
addition, cottonwoods, sycamores, willows, and junipers which occur
within the 200-foot zone of construction but outside of the excavation
zone will be avoided and protected from construction impacts. Any of
these trees which are impacted by construction will be replaced with
5-gallon container plants. In addition to a small amount of Eriastrum,
the following species will be in the seed mix at the indicated rates:
(1) Lotus scoparius, 6 lbs/acre; (2) Eriogonum fasciculatum, 10 lbs/acre;
(3) Encelia farinosa, 3 lbs/acre; (4) Adenostoma fasciculatum,
IX-3
4 lbs/aare; (5) Salvia apiana, 2 lbs/acre; (6) Artemesia californica,
2 lbs/acre; (7) a-caharis glutinosa, 2 lbs/acre;-and -(8) Er iodictyon
trichocalyx, 3 lbs/acre.
IX -4
I. DIVERSION AND CONTROL OF WATER DURING CONSTRUCTION
Available climatological information indicates that most of the annual
rainfall in the Mill Creek drainage area occurs between November and
April. To avoid flood damages, construction on the toe extension will
be scheduled to take place during the 6 month period between April and
October. The low flows in Mill Creek generally occur in the incised
channel north of the existing levee and the construction area.
Extension of the levee toe can be accomplished during the summer months
when the flood threat is minimal; all other construction will take place
on the top of the levee, except for any borrow stockpiles produced from
the required toe excavation. Measures for diversion and control of
water would, therefore, be minimal.

XI. REAL ESTATE REQUIREMENTS
11-01 The Mill Creek Levee begins just above the point where it enters
the Santa Ana River and terminates at a point approximately 13,600 feet
upstream. It was designed to protect the cities of Mentone and Redlands
and surrounding urban areas. The material for raising the will come
from the required excavations. The County of San Bernardino already
owns the required land area, which were acquired for the construction of
the existing Federal flood control project.
11-02 Construction operations for the recommended Mill Creek Levee
improvements will occur within existing project rights-of-way.
XI-1
III. COST ESTIMATES
12-01 The cost estimates are based on unit price data from recent bids
for various items of work on other projects and on unit prices derived
using established estimating procedures. In accordance with EM 1110-2-1301,
a 15 percent contingency is added to the estimated construction cost.
The cost for engineering and design, and supervision and administration
was estimated to be 10 percent and 6 percent, respectively, of the
construction costs (including contingencies). These percentages are
based on the actual prevailing rates experienced by the Los Angeles
District Office.
First Cost
12-02 The first cost of the proposed Mill Creek Levee is presently
estimated at $5,109,000 (table XII-1). The detailed estimate of the
first cost is shown on table XII-2.
Operation and Maintenance
12-03 Upon completion of the proposed flood control improvements, the
annual operation and maintenance cost is estimated at $15,000, which is
based on the costs incurred by the San Bernardino County Flood Control
District for operation and maintenance of the original Mill Creek Levee.
This estimated cost is comparable to the actual costs on similar types
of improvements experienced by the Los Angeles District.
Comparison of Estimates
12-04 The first cost for the Mill Creek Levee estimated in the Phase I
GDM dated September 1980 (October 1979 Price Level) and this same cost
escalated to October 1987 price levels is shown in table XII-3.
Compared to the escalated Phase I GDM estimate, the present estimate is
$19,832,798 lower. The differences between the escalated Phase I GDM
estimate and the current estimate are explained as follows:
XII-1

XIV. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
14-01 The existing operation and maintenance (O&M) manual would be
updated after construction of the flood control improvements in
accordanQe with ER 1130-2-304'"Project Operations" and applicable
provisions of ER 1150-2-301 "Local Cooperation." The estimated cost of
an updated O&M manual is $20,000. Upon completion of the proposed flood
control improvements, the annual operation and maintenance cost is
estimated at $15,000, which is based on the costs incurred by the San
Bernardino County Flood Control District for operation and maintenance
of the existing Mill Creek Levee. This estimated cost is comparable to
the actual costs on similar types of improvements experienced by the Los
Angeles District. The local sponsors would be responsible for the
operation and maintenance of the flood control improvements. The major
items of operation and maintenance and their estimated annual costs are
shown in table XIV-1.
