Union Pacific Levee Setback

The proposed Union Pacific Setback Project includes removal of existing levees and construction of new levees farther back from the Puyallup River. Approximately 5,703 linear feet of existing levee located along the right (north) bank of the Puyallup River between Puyallup RM 2.6 and 3.7 would be removed and an armored levee of approximately 6,432 linear feet would be set back from the Puyallup River to the north, encompassing an area of approximately 113.4 acres. The project would reconnect the Puyallup River to remnant riparian springs.
