  • Assessing Indicators of Stream Health in the Tuolumne Watershed
    Assessing Indicators of Stream Health in the Tuolumne Watershed By: Devon Lambert, Robert Miyashiro, Miles Ryan, and Sarah Baird Ecogeomorphology, Spring 2014 University of California, Davis Abstract The Tuolumne River watershed, ranging from Yosemite National Park in the high Sierra Nevada mountains to the central valley floor, contains multiple dams that provide a range of services from water supply and hydroelectric generation to recreation. We studied the impacts of these dams on the Tuolumne river ecology by assessing a series of stream health indicators in regulated and unregulated portions of the watershed. Data was collected on channel bed substrate distributions, algal biomass, benthic macroinvertebrates, and fish assemblages as indicators of overall stream health. Our findings indicate that dams, and especially daily pulse flows released below the dams, alter the variables for which we collected data. We provide some information on the costs and benefits to environmental flows in the Tuolumne River and suggest management of water releases below dams can be shaped to sustain essential ecosystem functions, without severely altering the economic and water delivery benefits. Implementing changes to the flow regime that will benefit the ecosystem, such as better mimicking the characteristics of the spring snowmelt recession or limiting pulse flows to the appropriate high flow season, is attainable and affordable within the Tuolumne watershed. Introduction The Tuolumne river watershed lies in the southern portion of the Western slopes of the Sierra Nevada and encompasses 1,958 square miles. There are four dams within the watershed primarily used for hydroelectric power, recreational flows, and a steady water supply during California’s dry summers.

  • Executive Summary
    Preliminary Mitigated Negative Declaration Date: January 9, 2019 Case No.: 2016-006868ENV Project Title: SFPUC Reliable Power Project Project Location: Portions of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission Rights of Way in Stanislaus, Mariposa, and Tuolumne Counties Zoning: Various Project Sponsor San Francisco Public Utilities Commission Antonia Sivyer (415) 554-2474 Lead Agency: San Francisco Planning Department Staff Contact: Timothy Johnston – (415) 575-9035 [email protected] PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) proposes to implement the Reliable Power Project (proposed project) for maintaining the reliability of the SFPUC’s electrical transmission system between the Holm and Kirkwood Powerhouses and the Warnerville Substation. The project includes implementation of a long-term vegetation management program that would address the North American Electric Reliability Corporation’s reliability standard (FAC-003) and other regulatory requirements that seek to minimize the risk of power outages and fires from vegetation contact with transmission lines on or near the right of way for electrical transmission lines1. In addition to implementation of the vegetation management program, the proposed project would include repairs and replacements for culverts associated with transmission line access roads and construction of a sand storage shed to stockpile sand for winter road treatments needed for access during winter months. Construction activities associated with the proposed project would occur within existing SFPUC facility and right of way boundaries in Stanislaus County, Mariposa County, and Tuolumne County, and would not require the acquisition of new property. Project implementation involving vegetation management would be ongoing. Construction activities and duration for culvert repair and/or replacement would vary along the transmission corridor, but would be short-term in nature, generally requiring a few of days to a couple of weeks to complete.

  • I Sensitivity Analysis of California Water Supply
    Sensitivity analysis of California water supply: Assessment of vulnerabilities and adaptations By Max Fefer B.S. (University of California, Berkeley) 2016 THESIS Submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in Civil and Environmental Engineering in the OFFICE OF GRADUATE STUDIES of the UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA DAVIS Approved: Jonathan Herman, Chair Jay Lund Samuel Sandoval-Solis Committee in Charge 2017 i Abstract Long-term changes in climate and population will have significant impacts on California’s freshwater management. Hydro-economic models can address climate change concerns by identifying system vulnerabilities and exploring adaptation strategies for statewide water operations. This thesis combines the new Python implementation of the CALVIN model, a hydro-economic model describing California water resources, with an ensemble of climate scenarios to identify adaptation strategies for managing water in a range of possible climates. A sensitivity analysis is performed by altering the magnitude and the timing of statewide inflows, defined as water availability and winter index respectively, to emulate changes in precipitation and temperature predicted by climate models. Model results show quadratic increases in shortage cost and marginal value of environmental flows, conveyance expansion, and reservoir expansion as water availability decreases. Reservoirs adapt to warmer climates by increasing average storage levels in winter and routing excess runoff to reservoirs downstream with available capacity. Both small and large changes to reservoir operations were observed compared to historical hydrology, showing that no single operating strategy achieves optimality for all reservoirs. Increasing the fraction of winter flow incurs small increases in total shortage cost, showing the state’s ability to manage a changing hydrologic regime with adaptive reservoir operations.
