Use Permit No. 858-02(A)

Document Description: The California Department of Fish and Game is executing a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code for the Vegetation and Sediment Maintenance Program at Los Banos Detention Dam Project. The objectives of the Project are to remove vegetation, including non-native and native trees that may prohibit flow, from the outflow channel and the basin and to restore the area below the spillway structure (knows as the "horseshoe" area due to its shape) close to original design and specification. This vegetation removal will allow water to flow downstream away from the dam and the toe drain.
