The Jones Levee project will extend the Wolfe Levee further upstream, ending at high ground. This will prevent flood waters from getting behind Wolfe Levee and greatly reduce the City’s flood risk. Both of these projects are designed as “setbacks” which means the river is given more room to naturally meander. This extra room is also useful during a flood, lowering the flood levels and taking pressure off of the levee system.
Completed in 2020, the Clear Creek Strategy Plan was developed to help improve conditions related to flooding and drainage, agriculture and land use, social challenges and fish habitat ecosystems in the Riverside/Clear Creek community.
The goal of these projects is to improve fish passage and address flooding issues on Horsehaven Creek where it crosses under 150th Ave E and 188th St E near Orting.
