Vegetation management is key to preserving channel capacity for flow, and providing access for maintenance activities along the 33 miles of channel that we are responsible for.
With this year’s extra rainfall, we’ve increased mowings up to four per year for most dams and removing debris removal from trash racks.
In 2021 the gate valve used to drain the pool area behind Dam 2-A needed to be replaced. It was during our routine exercising of the gate valve that we observed that the valve was not opening to its full capacity. This valve was the original valve installed in the dam when it was built in 1969.
