RAINBOW CANYON DEBRIS FLOW DIVERSION STRUCTURE PROJECT

LOCATION: The project area is located within U.S. Forest Service land in the Rainbow Subdivision of the Spring Mountain National Recreation Area in the town of Mt. Charleston, Clark County, Nevada.  The Rainbow Subdivision is an in-holding of private property within federal lands.

PROPOSED PROJECT: The project entails construction of an approximately 1,200 foot long trapezoidal berm and trapezoidal channel to divert debris flows away from Rainbow Subdivision.  The structure would be armored with riprap. The downstream terminus will be located northeast of the subdivision and connect to an existing ridge.  The alignment will extend to the upstream terminus in a southwesterly direction.  The structure would redirect flows away from the subdivision to an existing wash then into Kyle Canyon. At approximately 1,100 feet downstream, the diversion structure will cross an existing dirt road. A grade control structure will be needed to maintain the road elevations. About 270 feet downstream of the road, the existing bank may need to be bolstered with additional fill and armoring of the bank fill. This will be needed to direct the flows around the bend and away from the property immediately downstream.   

The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; Federal, state, and local agencies and officials; and other interested parties.   Comments will be accepted from April 7, 2014 to April 22, 2014. Comments should be mailed to:
