Document Description
The proposed Project involves modifying Searsville Dam to reestablish sediment transport processes and fish passage conditions past Searsville Dam, restoring stream and riparian habitats above the dam, removing a substantial amount of sediment trapped behind the dam, relocating the Searsville Reservoir water diversion downstream to the Pump Station, expanding the Pump Station’s capacity, and relocating historic non-potable water supply and storage from Searsville Reservoir to an expanded Felt Reservoir and new Felt Dam, to enhance water supply reliability during drought and other emergency conditions and improve public safety.
