Document Description
The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Metropolitan) proposes to perform operation and maintenance activities in the vicinity of Diamond Valley Lake and Lake Skinner. To prevent unauthorized access to Metropolitan's property, Metropolitan proposes to relocate a gate located northwest of Lake Skinner and west of Bachelor Mountain. The existing gate, located on an unnamed road approximately 50 feet east of Washington Street, will be removed and relocated to an area farther east. Boulders will be placed on either side of the gate to limit vehicle access, except through the gate. Metropolitan also proposes to repair an area of erosion around an electrical pedestal, located northeast of the intersection of Winchester Road (Highway 79) and Holland Road, west of Diamond Valley Lake. Metropolitan will backfill eroded areas and create a slope around the pedestal to direct future water flow away from the pedestal and prevent future erosion.
