Levee closure systems are usually temporary structures that are put in place at openings along the embankment/floodwall to provide flood protection when the river/stream is elevated. The openings are typically for vehicular, rail, or pedestrian access through the embankment/floodwall when the river/stream is at normal levels (non-flood).
This is common where a roadway temporarily leaves the top of levee centerline or with a closure structure that would be modeled as closed during a flood event. Some manual adjustments may...

as “a man-made structure, usually an earthen embankment, designed and constructed in accordance with sound engineering practices to contain, control, or divert the flow of water so as to reduce risk from temporary flooding.”. The NFIP regulations define a. levee system. as “a flood protection system which consists of a levee, or levees ...
Levees impacted by coastal flooding have special freeboard requirements (see Paragraphs 65.10(b)(1)(iii) and (iv)). Closures. All openings must be provided with closure devices that are structural parts of the system during operation and designed according to sound engineering practice. Embankment Protection.
