Title

Sentinel Butte Mutual Water Company (SBMWC) Flood Capture Basin Project

Description

The Project is located in Woodlake, Tulare County. The Project would entail constructing a new multi-cell flood water capture basin on an approximate 27-acre site and connecting to existing infrastructure. The proposed basin Project would capture high flows during flood periods primarily from the Kaweah River through the Wutchumna Ditch. The Project would consist of the construction of a cells excavated to an approximate depth of 6’ below existing grade, and the basins would have the capacity to store approximately 50 acre-feet (AF) of water. The Project will also include a new turnout structure within Wutchumna Ditch to divert water into the proposed basin cells. The turnout structure will connect to a basin inlet structure through 120 LF of piping, equipped with a metered connection and rip rap. The turnout structure will be located northwest of the proposed basin cells along the south bank of the existing ditch. Three interbasin connection structures will also be constructed to connect the proposed cells, each connection will be equipped with two structures, rip rap and approximately 50 LF of piping. A basin outlet connection will also be incorporated through the construction of a basin outlet structure, equipped with approximately 45 LF of piping and rip rap. The basin outlet pipeline will terminate at an existing control box operated by SBMWC. In the future when water is available, SBMWC will set a temporary sump pump in the outlet pipeline to pump into the existing standpipe for delivering the flood water to their existing system.
