Flume 45 Critical Water System Infrastructure Project
Document Type
NOP - Notice of Preparation of a Draft EIR
Received
Present Land Use
FR-160 (Forest Resources, 160-acre minimum parcel size)
Document Description
The proposed Project would remove approximately 1,120 linear feet of an existing water conveyance structure (flume) constructed out of wood, which is highly susceptible to damage from wildfire and other natural hazards, and replace it with a more durable ignition resistant concrete conveyance structure (i.e., U shaped concrete canal). The Project would include mobilization, access improvements and site preparation, demolition and disposal of the existing wood structure, clearing and grubbing vegetation within the work area, excavation and slope stabilization, construction of a new canal bench using mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls, and construction of a U-shaped concrete canal. The Project would also incorporate nature-based solutions with the use of bioengineered natural and manmade materials to stabilize disturbed areas within the Project footprint. This water conveyance infrastructure (Flume 45) is part of EID’s El Dorado Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Project 184, which consists of a series of dams, canals, flumes, siphons, a penstock, and a powerhouse to deliver water from the South Fork of the American River for drinking water and power generation.
