The project involved constructing a new RCC dam, beginning in a 60 foot vertical, stepped cutoff trench. The dam replaced an earth dam which failed in 1989, partially due to difficult foundation conditions. Features of the project included extensive sedimentary, gypsum seamed, foundation preparation; leveling and dental concrete; placement of the new dam installation of 72" steel pipe, outlet works, intake tower and gates. All work was completed within a six month period.
