Box 25007 (D-8220), Denver, Colorado 80225 Abstract: A temperature control device (TCD) was installed on Shasta Dam, California which began to operate in spring 1997 for the purpose of cooling downstream river temperatures to aid recovery of chinook salmon in the Sacramento River. This study began in spring 1995 to investigate pre- and post-TCD effects on the limnology of Shasta reservoir. The maximum pool of cold water observed was a function of runoff, as bypass operations resulted in an almost complete yearly depletion of the cold water pool. Maximal surface temperatures and the strongest thermocline occurred during the month of August. Winter mixing was confined to the upper 50 m of the water column. Metalimnetic and hypolimnetic oxygen minima occur yearly in summer. Degree of oxygen depletion was related to distance from river inflow, while rate of movement of hypolimnetic minima downstream was dependent on deep level withdrawals from the dam. Preliminary observations show the TCD affected metalimnetic temperature gradients, movement of riverine inflows through the reservoir, and strength of DO minima. Secchi transparency was highest in the main lake and the Sacramento Arm and, lowest in the McCloud and Pit Arm, and was indicative of differences in productivity between the arms. Patterns of nutrient cycling within the reservoir differed between epilimnetic and hypolimnetic waters. Hypolimnetic nutrient maxima were related to high flow events, while epilimnetic waters responded more to in reservoir events, such as stratification and changes in productivity. During spring and summer months, TCD releases of surface to mid-level water caused the hypolimnion to act as a nutrient sink. Composite chl a concentrations (0 to 5 m) ranged from BDL to 30 ug/L. Mean composite chl a concentrations for the period 1995 to 1997 were: main lake (2 ug/L), Sacramento River Arm (2 ug/L), McCloud River Arm (2.7 ug/L), Pit River Arm (5.2 ug/L), and the Pit-McCloud confluence (3 ug/L). Diatoms, Melosira islandica and Melosira varians dominated the algal population. Greatest algal biovolume occurred in the Pit River Arm. Biovolume increased significantly from 1995 to 1997. Seasonal algal peaks occured in spring, and again on early fall coinciding with development and breakdown of thermal stratification. Greatest mean zooplankton biomass occurred in the Sacramento River Arm and was lowest in the McCloud River Arm. Cladocerans were the dominant zooplankton at the main lake station and Sacramento River Arm. Cladoceran and copepod biomass was equally distributed at other stations. In Shasta and Keswick tailwaters, <25 um POM composed the greatest proportion of total POM contributing 90% to the total. Total POM averaged 0.8 g/m3 and 0.9 g/m3 in Shasta and Keswick tailwaters, respectively. In 1997, there was a significant increase in zooplankton biomass in the drift that was attributed to TCD operations. Copepods, cladocerans, and even rotifers increased. Cladocerans composed less and copepods made up more of the total zooplankton biomass. Releases of surface water during the most productive time of year resulted in entrainment of zooplankton and a significant downstream increase in biomass. As with zooplankton biomass, phytoplankton biovolume increased significantly (by a factor of 10) in 1997 over 1995 and 1996.

  • The Facts About Raising Shasta Dam
    The Facts about Raising Shasta Dam May 10, 2019 Shasta Dam is the fourth highest dam in California1 and its 4.55 million acre-foot reservoir is the largest in the state.2 The dam captures water from three rivers (the upper Sacramento, McCloud, and Pit).3 Constructed and operated by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the Shasta Dam and Reservoir is the cornerstone of the giant Central Valley Project (CVP), which provides irrigation and drinking water for much of California’s Central Valley and parts of, and valleys just south of, the San Francisco Bay Area.4 In the Shasta Lake Water Resources Investigation (SLWRI) final Feasibility Report and Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS), the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation, USBR, or the Bureau) identified a plan with the greatest level of National Economic Development (NED) benefits as one including an 18.5-foot raise of Shasta Dam,5 which would increase water storage capabilities behind the dam by about 13%.6 This alternative, identified as the preferred alternative,7 was intended to improve conditions in the Sacramento River for threatened and endangered salmon and steelhead and increase the state’s overall water supply reliability.8 The Bureau released a final Feasibility Report and environmental impact statement (FEIS) which did not recommend any action (dam) alternative because of serious outstanding considerations,9 including: (1) The Bureau’s desire to have upfront funding from non-federal cost-sharing partners,10 (2) concerns by CVP contractors about CVP facilities serving non-CVP contractors,11 (3) California law prohibiting the expansion of Shasta Reservoir,12 (4) applicability of state environmental law to the project,13 and (5) process considerations.

  • Section 4-2 Vulnerability3rdfinal
    Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan 4.2 Vulnerability Assessment VULNERABILITY OF THE COUNTY TO CATASTROPHIC DISASTER Once the hazard identification step was complete, the HMPC conducted a vulnerability assessment to describe the impact that each hazard identified in the preceding section would have upon Sacramento County. As a starting point, the HMPC utilized County Assessor data to define a baseline against which all other disaster impacts could be compared. The baseline is the catastrophic, worst-case scenario, the assessed value of the entire county as a whole, $89.5 Billion. The value is deceptively low in that state, federal and other exempt facilities are not included in the county’s assessment, it only reflects commercial and residential property, and Proposition 13 limits property taxes by freezing a property’s assessed value to the value on the date of the most recent sale. The value also does not reflect any infrastructure or other community elements vulnerable to disaster, such as the economic impact to agriculture or business and industry. The figures below represent the value of buildings only. Land values have been purposely excluded because most often land remains following disasters, and subsequent market devaluations are frequently short-term and difficult to quantify. Additionally, state and federal disaster assistance programs generally do not address loss of land or its associated value.
