Document Description
Two flood control structures were built on Mustang Creek by the US
Department of Agriculture and will be utilized for the proposed MAR Project. Flood waters not detained in these two facilities continue down Mustang Creek threatening the Turlock Irrigation District (TID) Highline Canal and significant portions of the City of Turlock. The MAR Project will enhance the storage capacity of both the reservoir and the basin without the need to physically expand these facilities. Torrent MaxWell dry-wells will be installed at both sites to enhance the ability of both sites to accept flood flows from the Mustang Creek watershed. The reservoir site can hold about 600 AF on approximately 100-acres. The basin site size is approximately 74-acres with a capacity to hold 95 AF. Torrent dry-wells will be installed to enhance the percolation capability of the reservoir and basin sites, thereby enhancing the capacity of the project to protect the Highline Canal· and City of Turlock from potentialflood
damage.
