| Holocene 0 - 0.0117 Ma ID: 2529830 | Natural levee deposits Age: Anthropocene (0 - 0.0117 Ma) Description: Loose, moderately-sorted to well-sorted sandy or clayey silt grading to sandy or silty clay. These deposits are porous and permeable and provide conduits for transport of ground water. Levee deposits border stream channels, usually both banks, and slope away to flatter floodplains and basins. Levee deposits are best developed along San Pablo and Wildcat Creeks on the bay plain in Richmond. Abandoned levee systems have also been mapped Reference: Graymer, R.W.
