WRMA designed a canal stabilization solution to address the erosion of un-stable segments of the M-O Canal banks and sedimentation and erosion at two existing CMP discharge outfalls on the canal which borders the J.W. Corbett Wildlife Management Area.
The design team commissioned a topographic survey of the M-O canal to establish the limits of the sediment deposition. The topographic data was utilized to prepare a canal stabilization design and provide armor for the two 48″ CMP discharge pipe outfalls. The canal bank restoration program consisted of access road stabilization for heavy equipment, dredging and removal of existing canal bottom sediments, vegetation, backfilling and compaction of the canal banks, and installation of rip-rap stabilization on the canal banks.
