Columbia river backwater Levee at Kennewick
Difficult design problems posed by pervious foundation and high water table were solved with unique slurry fill barrier; levee embankments are 120 ft wide at bottom, 12 ft wide at top, with outer slopes 2:1 and inner slopes 3:1; slurry fill core consists of stable colloidal suspension of bentonite or clay; production, with three shovels, five draglines and elevating loader averaged more than 6000 cu yd per shift. (See also Pacific Bldr and Engr v 59 n 5 May 1953 p 90-2, 168)
