Document Description
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has executed Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement number 1600-2019-0286-R2, pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the Placer County Water Agency as represented by Ben Ransom.
The project is limited to the operation and maintenance of the Pleasant Grove Canal Diversion Dam. The Pleasant Grove Canal Diversion Dam is a seasonal flashboard dam with two trapezoidal abutments connected with a concrete sill. The dam is five to six feet tall and 26 feet wide. The abutments support a flat car bridge. The sill supports a hinged metal I-beam check structure which supports the flashboards, when installed, or lays flat when not in use. The I-beams are held up with pins when the flashboards are installed. A steel headwall and two conical fish screens are located at the entrance to the Pleasant Grove Canal just upstream of the dam. Each screen is placed on a 15-foot by 15-foot pile supported steel base and connected to a 4-foot diameter culvert pipe to convey the screened water into the canal. The purpose of the screens is to prevent entrainment of fish in the canal.
