Document Description
DWR is proposing to dredge the Berrenda Mesa forebay. To do this work, DWR staff will attach a Toyo pump to a crane. The crane will lower the pump into the Berrenda Mesa forebay. The pump will transfer the water and sediment through a hose and into the devil's den holding pond. This work is anticipated to take 1 to 2 weeks to complete. This work is necessary to maintain the forebay and to continue to make water deliveries.
