Document Description
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has executed Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement (EPIMS-SDO-25082-R5), pursuant to Fish and Game Code section 1602, to the project Applicant, City of Escondido. The project entails constructing a replacement dam immediately downstream (west) of the existing dam and partially deconstructing the existing dam by removing hydraulic fill material. A new outlet tower would be constructed on the upstream side of the dam, built as a cast-in-place, reinforced concrete structure anchored to the dam’s face and extending to the dam crest at elevation of 1,490 feet above mean sea level (AMSL). The outlet tower would be connected to the proposed dam’s downstream emergency release valve and appurtenances located on the south side of the new stilling basin and spillway.
