The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District dispatched personnel and resources Aug. 14 to assist the White Mountain Apache community with its limited flood risk minimization measures.
Anne Hutton, the District's chief of Emergency Management explained that the project was made possible through a provision of PL 84-99 that allows the Corps to provide technical and direct assistance in advance of a flood event when we can show an imminent threat of unusual flooding.
"A series of four storm-related floods June 28 - 29, July 2 and Aug. 11 - with debris flows from the burned watershed upstream - prompted a release of emergency funding for flood fighting measures," said Hutton.
The Cedar Creek Fire burned approximately 46,000 acres of the Fort Apace Reservation between June 17 and July 2.
"Because of the greater than average fire-related flood risk this storm season, the Corps has identified that risk reduction measures are most needed for the lower streambank areas of Cedar Creek," added Hutton.
Flood fighting measures will include strategic installation of approximately 1.5 miles of temporary protective barriers along the Cedar Creek.

The USACE Military Missions program matches capabilities to combatant command requirements to develop efficient and effective solutions to support the three pillars underpinning the National Security Strategy: diplomacy, defense and development.
USACE's Civil Works mission provides a key foundational component of the nation's public infrastructure that facilitates economic growth, quality of life, environmental health and national security.
When your area of operation covers roughly 226,000 square miles... expect to spend a lot time on the road.
Taking to the highway Jan. 25, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District Commander Col. Kirk Gibbs visited two of the more remote projects in the District inventory.
"Alamo and Painted Rock Dams are very important to the watershed and Arizona's overall flood risk management," said Gibbs. "The professionalism of our dam tenders at each of those locations and their ability to build great relationships with State Parks, as well as other agencies throughout the state, prepares us to work together in the event of extreme rain events to protect people, structures and agriculture."
Public safety is the Corps' number one priority. Flood risk management structures reduce risk, but they don’t eliminate it.
"Our dams and the surrounding land is very well maintained, added Gibbs. "The District is proud of our professionals who work hard and are dedicated to our critical mission in these remote locations. I am honored to serve alongside them."
Because of the isolation, the Corps provides two houses on each project site.
Painted Rock was completed in 1959, Alamo a decade later. In total, the Corps owns and operates nearly 700 dams nationwide.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District Arizona-Nevada Area Office in Phoenix hosted a Business Opportunities Open House March 9.
The event attracted more than 160 attendees from throughout the region. The open house featured morning and afternoon sessions with a contractor training opportunity; successful bid proposal.
"What I've found since I've been here is, it is so important to get to know our contracting partners and to build teams with them," said Col. Kirk Gibbs, District commander. "We want them to be successful, because if they're successful, we're successful."
The LA District is responsible for planning, engineering, construction, asset management, regulatory, emergency management and environmental services for three Army and eight Air Force installations, interagency and international customers, and the nation's civil water resources infrastructure in the Southwest.
"We're able to bring people together and build relationships," said Eric Ravelli, deputy for the Small Business Program. "The Corps has a mission, we have projects that we need to partner with the small business community and, frankly, the large business community."
In all, the District encompasses an area of 226,000 square miles across Southern California, southern Nevada, a slice of Utah and all of Arizona.
"In fiscal year 2016, there were $448 million in total contracts awarded," added Ravelli. "Of that, over $321 million in contracts were with small businesses, roughly 72 percent of contract awards."

Looking From Dam at Sunnybrook State Park.
Dam is off Newfield Rd. (1670) Torrington CT.. Down the Road From Sunnybrook CT. State Park at 1677 Newfield RD.
The Dam consists of an earthfill dam 700 feet long and 92 feet high; an ungated circular concrete conduit 450 feet long and three feet in diameter; and a chute spillway edged in rock with a 100-foot-long concrete weir. The weir’s crest elevation is 16 feet lower than the top of the dam.
