LOCATION: Newton, Kansas in the Newton Channel near the downstream end on the left descending bank of Sand Creek channel project.

REQUESTERS PROPOSED ACTION: The City of Newton, Kansas proposes the construction of a 12-inch RCP with a headwall and flap gate through the Sand Creek channel embankment as part of a proposed construction of two new 1.9 MG prestressed concrete ground storage tanks for potable water which will replace an existing 3.8 MG steel ground storage tank (Attachment 2). The RCP will be placed by open trenching the channel embankment. The embankment materials will be replaced in 6-inch lifts and with the proper water content and density according to the geotechnical data that was obtained and analyzed as part of this project proposal. The existing embankment slope of the Sand Creek channel, where the proposed penetration will occur, is currently lined with riprap.  This riprap will be removed to allow for construction and will be replaced upon completion of construction.
