At the point of beginning of the outfall channel the <br />right bank levee branches, One brlillCh follows the outfall channel northea~t for <br />7430 feet toward the Arkansas River. The other branch leaves the outfall channel and <br />extends southeast along the South Granada Ditch to a high point about 1/2 mile east of <br />the Town. The top width of the levee is 12 feet which permits access for maintenance, <br />Riverside levee side slope is 3 horij':ontal to I vertical and landside levee side slope is <br />2.5 horizontal to I vertical. Right bank levee height along Wolf Creek provides 4 feet <br />of freeboard above the project desi!in flood water surface; <br /> <br />* A left bank levee beginning just downstream (east) of the U.S, Highway 385 bridge and <br />extending 970 feet along Wolf Creek to the outfall channel and then continuing about <br />6945 feet along the outfall channel to the Arkansas River; <br /> <br />* An extensive channel and levee protection of wire wrapped rock on the right bank of <br />the floodway and the right levee directly across the floodway (east) from the point of <br />entry of Wolf Creek into the floodvtay channel.
