[MAIL] Homeless encampments along the Sacramento river are damaging flood levees and could be putting more than 100,000 houses in danger, it has been revealed.
Some of the homeless have been digging into the slope of the levees to create a flat surface for their tents, potentially compromising the entire structure.
And, due to the number of tents, levee monitors are having a hard time finding the trouble spots that need fixing before the winter flood season.
In one instance, they discovered a large encampment had been hiding a four-foot deep trench that was dug into the slope of a levy. |
