Document Description
The State of California Department of Water Resources (DWR) proposes to build a new emergency access road to DWR's facilities at Pyramid Dam, Los Angeles County, California, in the Angeles National Forest. The project site is located above Piru Creek and construction activities would occur along an old abandoned dirt road that begins off I-5 and continue to the Pyramid Dam Bridge, adjacent to Old Highway 99 approximately 0.5 miles downstream of Pyramid Dam. Construction of the emergency access road would provide full and adequate access to Pyramid Dam in the event of an emergency (dam failure and/or leakage, flood or seismic event) as well as for dam inspections and maintenance. Construction activities are anticipated to commence in July 2007.
