Santa Felicia Dam Safety Improvement Project EIR

Document Description: United Water Conservation District proposes the conveyance capacity of the existing spillway to sufficiently pass the inflow design flood, which for the Santa Felicia Dam consists of the Probable Maximum Flood of 220,000 cubic feet per second. In addition, UWCD proposes to replace the existing outlet works system due to the potential for failure under seismic loading conditions and impacts associated with sedimentation near the existing intake tower. The proposed project does not include an increase in the capacity of the reservoir nor does it propose any changes to the current flow releases from the dam.
