Embankment Concept

We're gonna need to do some serious work on the intact portions of the earthen embankment before we can build the new concrete water gate (dam).

Some of this work will include:
- Clear vegetation
- Install and compact a layer of clay to restore the embankment profile
- Install a toe drain to capture any seepage and mitigate downstream flooding
- Throw down some riprap to protect the upstream side
- Grass seeding on the downstream slope to prevent erosion
