1969 Summary
General text description of the levee system with a summary of why the levee is there, and the benefits it provides.
Meyers Levee is a non-federal, primary levee on the left bank of the Big Wood River, Idaho. Flood Control District No. 9 of Idaho is the sponsor and responsible for operation and maintenance of the levee. The Initial Eligibility Inspection (IEI) Report was completed in February 1988 and subsequently instated into USACE’s Rehabilitation and Inspection Program. The original construction date is unknown. It is about 1,600 feet long; has an average crown width of 12 feet; riverside and landside slopes are about 1.5H:1V; and has an average embankment height of 6 feet.
Performance & Condition
General text description of the historical and anticipated performance of the levee, the people and property benefitting from the levee and who may be at risk of flooding, and actions to address areas of concern.
PLEASE NOTE: The following Risk Characterization is a description of risk associated with this levee system. It is currently undergoing review and may be updated in the future.
The Levee Senior Oversight Group considers the risk associated with the Meyers segment (LST ID 5223) to be Low. The levee has had significant loading, the embankment was loaded nearly 100% in May 2006. The levee is expected to have a high likelihood of poor performance under future flood loads with regard to embankment erosion based on past performance and the current condition of the levee. The riprap revetment was removed along 20 feet section of the levee and during an extreme event the river velocities are estimated to be approximately 10 feet per second which could lead to erosion. Threatened population is anticipated to be very low. The leveed area would experience shallow inundation allowing for shelter in place; additionally, very short egress out of the leveed area is available.
Flooding Hazard
Historic Loading by Percentage of Height
Representative loading associated with historical flood information as a percentage of the levee height or overtopping.
