The surveys shall be performed using Global Positioning System (GPS) equipment. The centerline of the top of the levee will be staked and profiled with shots no more than 100 feet apart. For levees that have curves, shots will be taken at the start, middle, and end of each curve. This will result in layout and plotting the levee to show the actual shape instead of a straight line. The first and last end area for yardage will be based on the first and last full top of levee station or template. No yardage will be computed for the sloped ends of the levee.

A cross section for layout and checkout will be taken every 500 feet, or one section for levees less than 500 feet long. The minimum number of shots will be the toe, half way up the slope, top edge, and centerline of the levee.

The centerline profile will extend past the emergency spillway to identify that the normal ground rises enough to contain the emergency spillway flow. The profile shall extend a minimum of 100 feet, with shots no farther than 20 feet apart. A profile of the emergency spillway is required to show the upstream, control section, and downstream flow area of the spillway. The profile shall extend a minimum of 100 feet upstream and downstream with shots no more than 20 feet apart.

NRCS shall perform the yardage computations for payment.”

When using any driving directions or map, it's a good idea to do a reality check and make sure the road still exists, watch out for construction, and follow all traffic safety precautions. This is only to be used as an aid in planning.
