19
Q

What is the purpose of the canal lip?

A

It let’s surface water drain into the canal without sleeping behind the lining.

20
Q

Where is the berm located?

A

Between the road and the canal

21
Q

What is an invert, and what is it’s slope?

A

The invert is the bottom width of the canal and it slopes 4’ per 100,000 ft.

22
Q

What is free board and what does it provide?

A

It’s the distance from the top elevation of the water to the top of the lining.

It provides a safeguard against:

  1. Sediment buildup
  2. Wave action
  3. Storm flow that may exceed design flow.
23
Q

How far apart are safety ladders and maintenance ladders?

A

Safety ladders are every 500’ staggered or 1000’ on the same side.

Maintenance ladders are every 5000’ and are placed downstream of concrete structures.

24
Q

Safety cables (aka buoy’s) are located where?

A

Upstream of check sites, pumping plants, and spillways.

Downstream of bridges

25
