Newlands Project
MP Region Public Affairs, 916-978-5100, http://www.usbr.gov/mp, February 2016 Mid-Pacific Region, Newlands Project History The Newlands Project was one of the first Reclamation projects. It provides irrigation water from the Truckee and Carson Rivers for about 57,000 acres of cropland in the Lahontan Valley near Fallon and bench lands near Fernley in western Nevada. In addition, water from about 6,000 acres of project land has been transferred to the Lahontan Valley Wetlands near Fallon. Lake Tahoe Dam, a small dam at the outlet of Lake Tahoe, the source of the Truckee Lake Tahoe Dam and Reservoir River, controls releases into the river. Downstream, the Derby Diversion Dam diverts the water into the Truckee Canal and Lahontan Dam, Reservoir, carries it to the Carson River. Other features and Power Plant include Lahontan Dam and Reservoir, Carson River Diversion Dam, and Old Lahontan Dam and Reservoir on the Carson Lahontan Power Plant. The Truckee-Carson River store the natural flow of the Carson project (renamed the Newlands Project) was River along with water diverted from the authorized by the Secretary of the Interior Truckee River. The dam, completed in 1915, on March 14, 1903. Principal features is a zoned earthfill structure. The reservoir include: has a storage capacity of 289,700 acre-feet. Old Lahontan Power Plant, immediately below Lahontan Dam, has a capacity of Lake Tahoe Dam 42,000 kilowatts. The plant was completed in 1911. Lake Tahoe Dam controls the top six feet of Lake Tahoe. With the surface area of the lake, this creates a reservoir of 744,600 acre- Truckee Canal feet capacity and regulates the lake outflow into the Truckee River.

Buyalski l/, P. E., M. ASCE ABSTRACT The nature of the upstream river inflow to a reservoir of a typical diversion dam determines how the releases downstream are made. River inflow can be (1) intermittent or (2) continuous with a wide variation in magnitude. The application of local automatic control for the releases from a diversion dam that has intermittent river inflow is limited. For this case, it is better to install a remote monitoring system and make the releases by manual operation. The diversion dam that has a continuous river inflow can utilize onsite control algorithms for the local automatic regulation of the releases downstream. This paper discusses the typical diversion dam and the two basic operational concepts. The criterion for selecting a remote monitoring-manual operated system versus a local automatic controlled system is included. The general concept of the remote monitoring system and the design of a practical local automatic controller are then discussed and a summary is provided.

Appendix J Feather River Water Temperature Model
OCAP BA Appendix J Appendix J Feather River Water Temperature Model This appendix documents the Feather River Water Temperature model development, calibration, and internal computation procedures. Purpose The Feather River water temperature model was developed to support of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) hydropower licensing of the Oroville Facilities. The model was simulated water temperature within the complex and in the Feather River to the confluence with the Sacramento River for use in analysis of the Oroville Facilities’ temperature management capabilities, and to support fishery impact analysis. Oroville Facilities Description The Oroville Facilities are a physically and operationally complicated system. Oroville Reservoir releases water through a main intake structure with adjustable stop logs or shutters; allowing release from different elevations within the reservoir through the Hyatt Pumping-Generating Plant where the water is used to generate electricity. Because of power operations, releases are made on a peaking basis: up to 17,500 cubic feet per second (cfs) when power is in high demand (on-peak) with little or no release the remainder of the day (off-peak). The water that flows through the Hyatt Pumping- Generating Plant is discharged into the Thermalito Diversion Pool where the flows are diverted into either theThermalito Forebay, the Feather River Fish Hatchery, or the Low Flow Channel. From the Thermalito Forebay, flows can be diverted into either several canals or released through the Thermalito Pumping–Generating Plant to the Thermalito Afterbay. From the Thermalito Afterbay, flows can be diverted into several canals or released to the Feather River. Both the Thermalito Pumping-Generating Plant and the Hyatt Pumping-Generating Plant can operate in a pumpback mode, moving water from the Thermalito Afterbay into the Thermalito Forebay through the Thermalito Pumping- Generating Plant, Thermalito Diversion Pool, and finally back into Oroville Reservoir through the Hyatt Pumping-Generating Plant.

Agriculture may be king, but compared to the queen, Mother Nature, it is a weak monarch. Nature consistently proves to mankind who really controls the realm. The Central Valley of California is a magnificent example of this. The Sacramento River watershed receives two-thirds to three-quarters of northern California's precipitation though it only has one-third to one-quarter of the land. The San Joaquin River watershed occupies two- thirds to three-quarter of northern California's land,

St. Mary Diversion and Conveyance Facilities
St. Mary Diversion and Conveyance Facilities Points of Interest 1: Lake Sherburne Dam and Reservoir Sherburne Dam is a compacted earthfill structure 107 feet in height with a crest length of 1,086 feet. Construction began in 1914 and was completed in 1919. A total storage capacity of 68,080 acre-feet is provided in Lake Sherburne. Reservoir water surfaces are controlled by operation of the two 4- by 5-foot high-pressure gates, which permit a discharge of 2,100 cubic feet per second at an elevation of 4788.0 ft. At water surface elevations above 4788.0 ft, water flows over the crest of the overflow spillway and the discharge through the outlet works. Maximum discharge through the outlet works conduit at an elevation of 4809.2 ft is 4,200 cubic feet per second. In 1982, the dam embankment was raised to crest elevation 4814.5 using the reinforced earth concept to provide additional surcharge to safely pass the inflow design flood. Stored water is released to Swiftcurrent Creek during the irrigation season and diverted to the North Fork of the Milk River by the St. Mary Diversion Facilities. Water is also released from Lake Sherburne to satisfy the United States’ obligations to Canada under Article VI of the Boundary Waters Treaty (1909). Operational constraints of the existing outlet gates prevent the US Bureau of Reclamation from releasing low flows during the winter months. As a result, Swiftcurrent Creek dries up and important wintering habitat for the threatened bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) is lost. The Blackfeet Tribe and US Bureau of Reclamation have been working to resolve the issue for a number of years.

Dam Safety Update Mill Creek Project
DAM SAFETY UPDATE MILL CREEK PROJECT U.S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS BUILDING STRONG® What residents near dams should know Living with flood risk-reduction infrastructure such as dams and levees comes with risk. Know your risk. Dams do not eliminate all flood risk, so it is important that residents downstream from the dam are aware of the potential consequences should the dam breach, not perform as intended, or experience major spillway or outlet works flows. Living with dams is a shared responsibility of residents, local emergency management, and the Corps (USACE). Know your role. Listen to and follow instructions from local emergency management officials. Contact your local officials to learn about flood risk management decisions in your area. Consider purchasing flood insurance. For additional information, see: http://www.damsafety.org/media/Documents/DownloadableDocuments/LivingWithDams_ASDSO2012.pdf. http://www.usace.army.mil/Missions/CivilWorks/DamSafetyProgram.aspx. http://www.nww.usace.army.mil/Missions/DamSafety.aspx. Mill Creek Project’s Two Dams Divert and Store Flood Water The Mill Creek Flood Control Project is located approximately 2.5 miles east of Walla Walla, Washington, at stream mile 11 on Mill Creek, a tributary of the Walla Walla River. The Mill Creek Flood Control Project provides flood risk reduction, recreation, and fish and wildlife conservation. The Mill Creek Flood Control Project contains two dams: 1) a “Diversion Dam” to divert water from the Mill Creek mainstem to an off-stream storage reservoir (Bennington Lake), and 2) a “Storage Dam” to safely hold water in Bennington Lake. The Mill Creek Flood Control Project achieves flood risk reduction for the city of Walla Walla and adjacent downstream areas by using the Diversion Dam to divert Mill Creek flow into Bennington Lake where it is stored during flood events.
