- Document Description
- The Project implements the Caples Spillway Channel Stabilization Plan for El Dorado Irrigation District. The Caples Spillway Channel Stabilization Plan includes work within the bed and bank of the spillway channel. The State Water Board issued a water quality certification pursuant to section 401 of the Clean Water Act on March 4, 2020, which limits work within the bed and bank from August 1 to September 30. Due to the high demand for helicopters caused by wildfires in California, a helicopter to transport materials required for construction has not been available. Per the request of El Dorado Irrigation District, the State Water Board Deputy Director of the Division of Water Rights has extended the timeframe for Project construction to November 30, 2020.
