Document Description
The El Dorado Irrigation District (District) proposes to replace the Silver Lake Dam (Dam), located near Kirkwood, CA, to comply with applicable dam safety requirements of the California Division of Safety of Dams and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). The primary benefit of the proposed project is to provide safe and reliable operation of the dam and Silver Lake Reservoir (Reservoir) that were originally constructed in 1876. The Dam is owned and operated by the District as part of the El Dorado Hydroelectric Project - FERC License No. 184. The proposed project involves the removal of the existing Dam and appurtenances and the construction of a replacement Dam and appurtenances at the location of the existing Dam and surrounding areas. The District anticipates the duration of the project's construction activities will be approximately 18 months.
