Napa flood control project plans for a dry bypass

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District project manager Dave Cook highlights a future plan for the Corps' dry bypass to alleviate flooding near the Oxbow Area of Napa, Calif., June 22, 2011. The new bypass would allow a straighter path downstream for the Napa River during high water events, reducing risk of flooding for residents and businesses. The plan is part of the larger Napa River Project, a joint effort of the Corps, the city of Napa, and the Napa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District to reduce flood risk for the city.
