would be installed consisting of PVC and geotextile fabric on each side with a layer of shotcrete on top.
This type of lining has been utilized in other Reclamation projects and has an anticipated lifespan of at
least 50 years. This alternative will also have the benefit of providing additional accessible area at the
top of the embankment between the canal and Colorado River for operation and maintenance
activities. Currently this area is challenging for maneuvering, even with small vehicles. This design
could provide up to seven feet of additional maintenance area at a cost of $800,000.
