    U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation Mid-Pacific Region Folsom50Booklet 1 5/10/2006, 10:22 AM This booklet was printed in cooperation with Folsom50Booklet 2 5/10/2006, 10:22 AM U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation Mid-Pacific Region Folsom50Booklet 3 5/10/2006, 10:22 AM Dedication I am pleased to offer my congratulations as Folsom Dam celebrates its 50th Anniversary. For half a century, through drought and flood, Folsom Dam has managed American River flows for the benefit of people, farms, industry, and the environment. Since its completion in 1956, it has effectively controlled flooding. Even several months before its final William E. Rinne completion, Folsom Dam prevented flood Acting Commissioner damage when a major tropical storm Bureau of Reclamation triggered rapid snowmelt. The dam impounded so much runoff that Folsom Lake filled in one week rather than the one year anticipated by engineers. It is estimated that this magnificent dam has prevented more than $5 billion in flood damage to downstream agricultural and urban areas, a testament to the foresight of the men and women who envisioned and built it. Today, Folsom Dam provides 500,000 acre-feet of water for irrigation and urban uses annually. It plays an important role in fisheries enhancement and water quality improvement in the San Francisco Bay-Delta. The dam also provides clean, renewable electricity. In 2005, it produced more than 690 million kilowatt hours. As a recreational facility, Folsom Lake is one of the most visited recreation areas operated by the California Department of Parks and Recreation.

  • 3A.12 Parks and Recreation - Land
    3A.12 PARKS AND RECREATION - LAND The two local roadway connections from the Folsom Heights property off-site into El Dorado Hills would not generate direct increases in population that could result in additional demand for parkland facilities in El Dorado County. Therefore, the “Affected Environment” does not contain a discussion of conditions in El Dorado County related to parks and recreation. 3A.12.1 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT Folsom Lake Folsom Lake State Recreation Area (SRA), located approximately 5 miles north of the SPA, serves the greater Sacramento area for recreation in the form of camping, hiking, biking, boating, and other outdoor recreation activities. The lake also hosts bass fishing tournaments that frequently draw fishermen from throughout the state. California State Parks manages the Folsom Lake SRA, which includes Folsom Lake and the surrounding facilities. The lake features approximately 75 miles of shoreline and 80 miles of trails that provide opportunities for hiking, horseback riding, nature studies, camping, and picnicking. There are seven major recreation areas with facilities located around the lake. The Folsom Lake SRA, including Folsom Lake, is one of the most heavily used recreational facilities in the California State Park system, with 2 to 3 million visitor days per year. Approximately 75% of the annual visitations to the Folsom Lake SRA occur during the spring and summer, and many (85%) of the Folsom Lake SRA activities are water dependent. The Lake Natoma sub-unit of the Folsom Lake SRA is located adjacent to the City of Folsom, between Hazel Avenue and Folsom Dam, upstream from the Sacramento County-operated portion of the American River Parkway.

    Lower American River State of the River Report Water Forum 660 J Street, Suite 260 Sacramento, CA 95814 1 April 2005 Lower American River The Water Forum is a diverse group of business and agricultural leaders, citizens groups, environmentalists, water managers, and local governments in the Sacramento Region that have joined to fulfill two co-equal objectives: • Provide a reliable and safe water supply for the region’s economic health and planned development to the year 2030; and • Preserve the fishery, wildlife, recreational, and aesthetic values of the lower American River. In 2000, Water Forum members approved a comprehensive Water Forum Agreement, consisting of integrated actions necessary to provide a regional solution to potential water shortages, environmental degradation, groundwater contamination, threats to groundwater reliability, and limits to economic prosperity. The Water Forum Agreement allows the region to meet its needs in a balanced way through implementation of seven elements. The seven elements of the Water Forum Agreement are: 1) increased surface water diversions, 2) actions to meet customers’ needs while reducing diversion impacts in drier years, 3) an improved pattern of fishery flow releases from Folsom Reservoir, 4) lower American River Habitat Management Element, 5) water conservation, 6) groundwater management, and 7) the Water Forum Successor Effort (WFSE). The WFSE was created to implement the seven elements of the Water Forum Agreement over the next 30 years. Additional information can be found on the Water Forum’s web site at: www.waterforum.org.
