Document Title: Antelope Dam Weir Sediment Removal Project
Document Type: NOD - Notice of Determination
Received: 9/30/2011

Document Description: The CA DFG is executing Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement number 1600-2010-0041-R2, pursuant to 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the project applicant, DWR. To obtain a more accurate flow measurement of the water being released from Antelope Dam, the Department of Water Resources (DWR) proposes to remove ~ 175 cubic yards of accumulated sediment, and debris from the upstream side of the outlet measurement weir located below Antelope Dam. This accumulated material has altered the channel upstream of the weir and is affecting the flow of water, resulting in less accurate measurements at the weir.
