Title

Prado Basin Water Conservation Feasibility Study Recirculated DEIR

Description

The proposed project would capture additional surplus water behind Prado Dam during the flood season, thus raising the elevation of the conservation pool. The project would modify the United States Army Corps of Engineer's (USACE's) operational control manual for Prado Dam, but would require no additional construction. During the flood season, a greater volume of water could be impounded behind the dam, up to elevation 498 feet mean sea level. The four-foot increase in the water storage elevation would allow up to an additional 5,205 acre-feet of water storage. During the non-floor season, water would continue to be impounded up to elevation 505 feet msl, as with existing operations.
