Description:
Abstract:
This dataset represents all levee structures in or near the Salton Sea as part of a Bureau of Reclamation restoration alternative evaluation conducted in 1999. This data was mapped from USGS 7.5 minute-quadrangles, and was intended to provide a complete inventory of all structures affecting the area of the Salton Sea. All features were to be attributed with elevation so that BOR could determine where and how much acreage is being protected from inundation by existing earth works.
Purpose:
For display and analysis so that BOR could determine where and how much acreage is being protected from inundation by existing earth works. This was used as part of the effort to evaluate the various proposals for the restoration of the Salton Sea.
Supplemental_Information:
'The Salton Sea Authority is a joint powers agency chartered by the State of California by a Joint Powers Agreement on June 2, 1993 for the purpose of ensuring the beneficial uses of the Salton Sea. In the agreement, "beneficial use" includes the primary purpose of the Sea as a depository for agricultural drainage, storm water and wastewater flows; for protection of endangered species, fisheries and waterfowl; and for recreational purposes.' Due to rising salinity, period fish die-offs and bird mortality events, the need for a restoration alternative to address these problems was identified. The first agency response was from the US Bureau of Reclamation.

Process_Description:
Levees were digitized by Bureau of Reclamation staff from USGS 7.5 minute topographic maps of the Salton watershed, and attributed for elevation by hand. Data was compared to alternate data sources, and conflicts were documented.
