DOWL prepared a geotechnical report for the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs concerning the CRIP Lateral 73-36 Check Structure 1. The report concludes that the site is suitable for reconstructing the check structure but identifies several geotechnical considerations. Subsurface soils are primarily silty sand and poorly graded sand with silt. The new check structure and head gate can use a conventional mat foundation, with on-site soils suitable for general fill but not structural fill. The inside slope of the canal has a factor of safety below the minimum, recommending a geotextile for reinforcement. Loose sands are likely liquefiable under seismic events, potentially causing differential settlement. While mitigation is costly and would not protect the entire canal system, the BIA has chosen not to pursue it due to the low-risk nature of the structure and the potential for widespread system failure during an earthquake. The report provides recommendations for foundations, lateral earth pressures, embankment slope stability, and earthwork, including subgrade preparation, excavation, temporary slopes, structural fill, compaction, testing, and soil corrosion potential.
