Document Description
The Sierra Pacific Power Company proposes to construct a diversion structure to replace the storm damaged Farad Diversion Weir. The proposed diversion dam will be located approximately 600 feet upstream of the former location and immediately downstream of the Interstate 80 overcrossing. The proposed structure has been specifically designed to allow for fish and recreational whitewater boat passage at various river levels. The structure would generally consist of grouted rock and boulders.
