Summary
General text description of the levee system with a
summary of why the levee is there, and the benefits it
provides.
Mellin Levee – Rio Vista levee system is a portion of the Sacramento River Flood Control Project, a large scale levee project authorized by Congress. The map of the levee system shows the leveed area, the area which would be prone to flooding in the absence of a levee. Mellin Levee – Rio Vista levee system reduces the risk of flooding for Solano County and adjacent industrial, residential, and agricultural lands from flood waters in the Sacramento River. A nonurban population and a significant number of structures are present within the leveed area. Highway 84 crosses through the leveed area. Mellin Levee – Rio Vista levee system is constructed of earthen embankments, and requires year-round maintenance. The Central Valley Flood Protection Board is the non-federal sponsor and is the responsible agency for operation and maintenance of the levee system.
