The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Walla Walla District completed repairs for the Dayton Levee Project on Nov. 16 and began repairs on the Milton-Freewater Levee Project on Nov. 18.
The Touchet River and Walla Walla River had near record flood events in early February 2020, causing extensive erosion damage to both levee systems in multiple locations. Damage to the Dayton Levee Project was mainly along the riverside slope, with the exception of one location where the levee overtopped, causing erosion damage on the landside slope as well. Meanwhile, floodwaters breached the Milton-Freewater Levee Project in two places, which were repaired earlier this year, and caused extensive erosion damage throughout the rest of the levee system.
