Z--TUNICA RELIEF WELLS, PARCEL 2

The project work will be within three main reaches of the mainline levee between baseline stations MI 30/00+00 to MI 30/42+10 (Area 1), MI 31/20+00 to MI 32/18+50 (Area 2), and MI 32/30+00 to MI 32/50+46.5 (Area 3). The landside levee hydraulic gradients for these reaches are greater than what is allowable. Relief wells with associated drainage features will be constructed to mitigate the excessive hydraulic gradients within these levee reaches. The work consists of installing 38, 8-inch and 10-inch relief wells, installing 7 CMP culverts, digging collector ditches to drain water generated by relief wells, placing riprap with filter fabric around culverts, placing gravel with filter fabric on farm roads at culverts, maintaining environmental protection during construction, and fine grading, fertilizing, and seeding all disturbed areas after construction. The project is located on the mainline levee along the left descending bank of Mississippi River approximately 3 to 4 miles northwest of the town of Tunica, Mississippi.
