Document Description
A recently conducted engineering study of Lake Perris Dam indicates that a seismically-induced event could result in liquefaction of the alluvium beneath the dam, subsequent dam slope failure, and uncontrolled reservoir release to downstream urban aeas. To minimize the potential for this event, the maximum water surface elevation of Lake Perris will be reduced from 1588 foot elevation to 1563 foot elevation.
