10 Support to Other DWR Programs DWR Program Supported Activity Use of Levee Evaluation Data/Products NULE's Points of Interest (POI) data formed basis for identification of potential repair sites. Flood Maintenance Flood Projects San Joaquin River Restoration Program Other FloodSAFE Flood System Repair Project (FSRP) Rural Levee Repair Guidelines Emergency Levee Repairs San Joaquin Levee Evaluation Program (SJLE) Special Studies POI reconnaissance, assisted development of evaluation protocols and ranking of potential repair projects. NULE repair templates and parametric cost estimating tools used to prepare Pre-Feasibility Cost Estimates for eligible FSRP projects. Provided geotechnical support in developing uniform guidelines to assist State and local agencies Alternatives Design Report for emergency levee repairs for Chowchilla Bypass and Lower San Joaquin Levee District data report in support of levee repairs at Mormon Slough Developed flood risk criteria for SJRRP and prioritized levees for geotechnical evaluation. Coordinated levee crest road repairs during 2011 high water event to support increased restoration flows evaluation of 40 miles of levees for increased restoration flows using ULE/NULE evaluation protocols Levee Sesimic Vulnerability Assessment Assessment of Animal Burrow Persistence Influence of Levee Vegetation on Past Performance Vegetation Studies to support CVFPP Levee Vegetation Management Strategy 10
