Book Description
"Project Purpose, Need & Objectives: The need for the San Clemente Dam Seismic Safety Project is to increase dam safety to meet current design standards. The purposes and objectives for the project are to protect public safety by meeting current standards for withstanding a Maximum Credible Earthquake and Probable Maximum Flood at San Clemente Dam, provide fish passage at the dam, maintain a point of diversion to support existing water supply facilities, water rights and services, and minimize financial impacts to California-American Water ratepayers. Abstract: This Final EIR/EIS analyzes the Proponent's Proposed Project (dam strengthening) and the following alternatives: Alternative 1 (dam notching with partial sediment removal), Alternative 2 (dam removal with total sediment removal), Alternative 3 (Carmel River reroute and dam removal with in-place sediment stabilization), and Alternative 4 (No Project). Chapter 2 contains summaries of each alternative, and Chapter 3 contains detailed descriptions. With the exception of No Project, all of the alternatives evaluated in this EIR/EIS meet the purpose, need and objectives"--Information cover sheet.
