LEVEESTORIES.XYZ FOR AN EXPEDITED RECONNAISSANCE STUDY
Within the design and construction of the Redwood Creek Flood Control Project in Humboldt County, a mistake was made. The project, a substandard system of earthen levees, extended too far into the creek’s estuary. Poorly negotiated allowances of the levied wound left by the Corps into the transition zone caused the circulation of this vital water vein to be compromised in providing proper supportive nourishment to regional health ecology and economic components. Why hasn’t the miscalculated scar been corrected? Participant observation and historical archaeology helped to first understand the biological and cultural aspects involved.
