Barber Dam Flood Deflection Berm

STRATA performed a geotechnical engineering evaluation for embankment slope stability, hydraulic conductivity, and seepage analysis for a 600-foot flood control berm constructed on the north bank of the Boise River, downstream of the existing Barber Dam. The berm provides flood control and deflection of floodwaters should Barber Dam fail. The maximum berm will protect and deflect against floodwaters with a 6,500 cubic foot per second (cfs) river flow and 13,400 cfs surge flow associated with the failure of Barber Dam in Boise, Idaho.
