The embankment contains a downstream crushed rock trench drain discharging through a 6-inch diameter corrugated metal drain. This pipe discharges at the downstream toe. The upstream slope to elevation 1,285.0 is protected with a 12-inch riprap layer over a 12-inch filter course. The upstream and downstream slopes are 3H:1V and 2H:1V, respectively. Except for riprapped surfaces, both slopes are covered with grass and Crownvetch. The crest is 12 feet wide with a settled design elevation of 1,298.0.
