Document Description
The project consists of the replacement of two (2) existing 6-foot diameter reinforced concrete pipes (RCP) and replacement of two (2) existing manually operated sluice gates (8-foot wide by 8-foot high) on the Lower Otay Auxiliary Spillway to allow emergency drawdown of the reservoir (10% drawdown by elevation within ten (10) days) as required by California Water Resources Department, Division for the Safety of Dams (DOSD). This project would not result in impacts to sensitive vegetation as it is planned to utilize a barge during the construction activities for access to the construction activities for access to the construction site from an existing loading dock. No impacts to archaeological or paleontological resources would result from this activity.
