Document Description
Implementation of the LEAPS project will necessitate the construction, maintenance, and operation of a new water storage reservoir and other related facilities within and proximal to the CNF. Two possible approximately 100-acre upper reservoir sites, identified as the "preferred" Morell Canyon (Morell Canyon) site and the "alternative" south fork of Decker Canyon (Decker Canyon) site, have been identified. Both forebay options are generally located adjacent to and south of Kilen Truck Trail/South Main Divide Truck Trail (Forest Route 6S07) (Kilen Truck Trail), an all-weather two-lane, paved roadway linking State Route 74 (SR-74 or Ortega Highway) to the residential community of Rancho Capistrano (Morell Potero). An approximately 20 to 40-acre construction laydown (marshalling) area will be created in close proximity to the upper reservoir.
