Document Description
Rancho California Water District proposes the Vail Dam Seismic and Hydrologic Remediation Project (Proposed Project) in order to remediate seismic and hydrologic hazards associated with the existing Vail Dam. The Proposed Project includes construction of a straight-axis concrete gravity dam structure immediately downstream of the existing arch dam and partial demolition of the existing dam. In addition, the Proposed Project includes improvements to support construction and operation of the new dam, including improvements to on-site access roads, provision for construction staging and material disposal areas, and electrical utility relocations. On-site restoration of native vegetation communities would be conducted following completion of construction.
