Correction 1

Correction 2

2

2-2

Towards bottom right, should read "levee failures have flooded Delta islands and tracts 165 or 164 times  (says 166 times)  Fig 2-5

165

163*

Figure 2-3

Long Point or "the other Ryer Island" is not labeled in the Suisun Marsh area

Figure 2-4

Map showing islands reclaimed years.  Ryer island records do not match other historical data on same island reclamation.  Shows as yellow

Dark Green

Light Green

4

4-9, 4-10, 4-16

V=frequency of occurrence confirms island inundation data used for calculations

5

Figure 5-1

Map incorrect.  Shows Grand Island southern tip as developed.

Color correction

Figure 5-9

Map of Delta businesses.  Snug Harbor not included, mission

Correction to include

5

Figure 5-14

Map of Delta Island elevations.  Does not appear to match previous Ryer Island data.  Need verification before challenge

6

6-23

Formula for seismic probability refers to soil type.  Verify soil type against 1935 soils map for Ryer Island

6

6-37c

Review data for Ryer Island to verify correct soil type 1935 soils map used for calculations.  Need verification before challenge

6.

6-36

Ryer Island sandy material reference-compare to 1935 soil type 1935 soils map and other Ryer Island records of levee construction.  Note Dr. Ryer levee footing article.  Map appears wrong

needed

7

7-8

Top of page  "since 1900 158 islands have flooded" does not match with section 2-2 nor historical data

7

7-9

"in 1986 9 islands flooded" should read "8" since reference table lists Ryer Island, which did NOT flood in 1986.

To "8"

7

Table 7-9a

Towards bottom:  Lists Ryer Island as flooding in 1986.  This is wrong.  Lists 1904 and 1907 as Ryer flood incidents, but these dates are before current levee was built.  Should say "2, 1 or 0"  (see 7-9b)

2

0

7

Table 7-9a, page 2

Total # of Delta Flooded Islands/Tracts says 158.  Should be 157, 156 or 155

157

155

7

Table 7-9b

Lists Ryer as flooding in 1907 and 1986 "since 1900", which verifies the use of "1" instead of "3" for Ryer Island flood history

1

7

Figure 7-19

Map showing  Ryer Island as having 3 historic inundations, when number should be 1 or 0

Color correction to white or light blue

7

Figure 7-20

Map listing years and locations of levee failures.  Lists 1986 Ryer Island failure location, even though Ryer Island did not flood and did not experience levee failure

Remove Ryer data from map

7

Figure 7-21

Cumulative Number of Levee Failures 1900 to 2006 needs to be corrected to reflect Ryer island data

Correction needed

7

Figure
7-22 a&b

Cumulative number of levee failures 1950 to 2006 needs to be corrected to reflect Ryer Island data

Correction needed

7

Figure 7-27

Under seepage Vulnerability Classes-challenge map findings if soils types or sandy soil finding is verified as incorrect per 1935 soils map

7

Figure 7-50

Map of Thickness of organic materials near levee toe.  Verify data prior to challenge.

7

Figure 7-71

Probability of failure versus vertical exit gradient for under seepage.  Verify data prior to challenge.

9

Figure 9-2

Locations of Levee Failures.  Lists 1986 Ryer Island as flooded-incorrect.

Correction needed

Appendix 12c

Page 11 and 23 of 24

Appears to list Ryer Island as having no risk of life loss even though US Census from 2000 indicates approximately 300 residents of Ryer Island

Verification needed

Appendix 12B

Page 36 of 38

This table indicates Ryer Island has a day or night time population of between 1 and 16 persons, contrary to local knowledge and 2000 US Census that shows approximately 300 residents for Ryer Island

Verification needed

Table 13-3

Challenge Ryer Island  mean rate of failures, etc, due to incorrect underlying data use regarding flood history

Challenge Ryer Island failures calculations due to incorrect underlying data use regarding flood history

Correction needed

Table 13-8

Challenge Ryer Island calculations due to incorrect underlying data use regarding flood history

Correction needed

Figure 13-5

Table needs correction to summarize change due to Ryer Island data correction

Correction needed

Figure 13-7

Map of mean Annual Frequency of Failure.  Appears wrong as to Ryer Island, which should be light green, not dark green.  The other Ryer Island is missing*

Correction needed to lt. green

13

Figure 13a

Map of Mean Annual Frequency of Failure.  Appears wrong for Ryer Island.  Should be light green instead of Dark green

Correction to Ryer to lt. green

13

Figure 13-16

Map of Mean Annual Frequency of Failure.  Ryer Showing as 3-5% in yellow and should be in light green at <1% or Dark green if 1-3%

Correct Ryer to lt. green

Figure 5

Map labeled DRMS Geomorphic Review "Map of the Modern Delta"  labels Steamboat Slough as the "Sacramento River"

Correct river names needed

Executive Summary

Phase 1 Executive Summary repeats totals from sections as noted above, so where those totals have changed to reflect Ryer Island data correction, the Executive Summary should also be corrected.
