Document Description
Yuba County Water Agency, the managing entity for Lake Francis Dam, is planning to install scientific measurement devices to monitor seepage flows at Lake Francis Dam and install two new structures on Dobbins Creek to prevent seepage from bypassing the existing flume. This work will include rock-slope protection on the left bank to prevent flows from further eroding the bank at this location. Additionally, YWA plans to install five different sensor types at various locations on the surface of the dam and at the existing weir structures. Construction of the Proposed Project is expected to be initiated in August 2024 and will require approximately 2.5 months to complete. Project activities are expected to be complete before the end of October 2024.
