The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District, the USDA Forest Service, the State of Nevada and other local agencies work together with the Corps to construct diversion channel. The temporary structure, approximately 2,200 feet long, is built on Forest Service land. The structure is designed to divert flows from rain events into a natural wash and away from the neighborhood. It is designed for a “25-year” rain event, an event which has a 4% chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year. The design reflects the District’s expectation that flows from rain events in the burned areas will bring a large volume of debris along with the water.
