The backfill must be placed in the ratio of one (1) cubic yard placed in the low areas to ten (10) cubic yards removed from the floodway.(f) Material may not be removed from the area between nine hundred (900) feet upstream of the Southern Pacific Railroad bridge and the confluence of the Yuba and Feather Rivers.
