  • Newlands Project Frequently Asked Questions
    Newlands Project Frequently Asked Questions http://www.usbr.gov/mp/lbao/ What is the Newlands Project? The Newlands Project in Nevada is one of the first Reclamation projects in the country, with construction beginning in 1903. It covers lands in the counties of Churchill, Lyon, Storey, and Washoe and provides water for about 57,000 acres of irrigated land in the Lahontan Valley near Fallon and bench lands near Fernley. Made up of two divisions, the Truckee Division and the Carson Division, the Project has features in both the Carson and Truckee River basins with the Truckee Canal allowing interbasin diversions from the Truckee River to the Carson River. The major features of the Newlands Project include Lake Tahoe Dam, Derby Diversion Dam, the Truckee Canal, Lahontan Dam, Lahontan Power Plant, Carson River Diversion Dam and canals, laterals, and drains for irrigation of approximately 57,000 acres of farmlands, wetlands and pasture. Water for the Newlands Project comes from the Carson River and supplemental water is diverted from the Truckee River into the Truckee Canal at Derby Dam for conveyance to Lahontan Reservoir for storage. The water stored in Lahontan Reservoir or conveyed by the Truckee Canal is released into the Carson River and diverted into the `V` and `T` Canals at Carson Diversion Dam. The Bureau of Reclamation has a contract with the Truckee-Carson Irrigation District to operate and maintain the Newlands Project on behalf of the Federal government. Who is the Bureau of Reclamation? The Bureau of Reclamation is a federal agency within the Department of the Interior.

  • Staff Report
    7/16/14 BOARD Agenda Item 10 STAFF REPORT TO: Chairman and Board Members FROM: Mark Foree, General Manager DATE: July 9, 2014 SUBJECT: General Manager’s Report Attached please find the written reports from the Management team including the Operations Report (Attachment A), the Customer Services Report (Attachment B), and the Water Resource and the Annexation Activity Report (Attachment C) and the Web Usage and Social Media Report (Attachment D). Also included in your agenda packet are press clippings from June 10 through July 8, 2014. At last month’s Board meeting, two people provided public comment regarding their concerns about the safety of the rafting/boating public in regard to the Glendale Diversion Dam that was constructed by TMWA a few years ago. The facts regarding this concern are that there was a very extensive multi-year public process that took place to receive input from all concerned parties (more than a dozen) including boating representatives. The stakeholders reached unanimous consensus on the final design and that was what was constructed. Attached is a consensus paper (Attachment E) that documents these facts. In regard to the signage not being there, unlike the Chalk Bluff (Orr Ditch Pump Station) Diversion Dam, which is designed to allow portage around it, the Glendale Diversion Dam was not designed to have portage around it as there is a boat lane in the middle of the dam that was designed for safe boat passage. One person also complained about the Steamboat Ditch (stateline) Diversion Dam and said that TMWA is also responsible for that dam.

  • Press Release Granite Team Installs Log Jam at Derby Dam Fish Screen
    PRESS RELEASE GRANITE TEAM INSTALLS LOG JAM AT DERBY DAM FISH SCREEN Aug 19, 2020 WATSONVILLE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Efforts to recover Nevada’s threatened Lahontan Cutthroat Trout (LCT) continue at Derby Dam in Sparks, Nevada this week as Granite (NYSE:GVA) and its partners, the Farmers Conservation Alliance (FCA) and the Bureau of Reclamation, begin the installation of the engineered log jam (ELJ) and plunge pool in the Truckee River. The ELJ is a permeable flow deflection structure made of wooden logs that projects out from the streambank and is used to stabilize streambanks and improve aquatic habitat. It is an important project component of the new fish screen structure built at Derby Dam to support safe fish passage for the LCT along the Truckee River between Pyramid Lake and Lake Tahoe, Nevada. The ELJ construction uses 12 logs (five vertical and seven horizontal), which vary in size. They are installed in the Truckee River just upstream of the plunge pool located beneath the output pipe, where fish will enter the river following passage through the fish screen. Wood is an important fish habitat component in most river systems. The ELJ will serve three main purposes: 1) helping to induce scour and ensure proper depth of the plunge pool, 2) provide cover for fish from predators, and 3) protect the pipe outlets from debris. “Working in waterways is always challenging,” explains Cody Cummings, Granite’s project manager for the Derby Dam Horizontal Fish Screen Project. “It was crucial to coordinate our installation efforts with the river’s low flow.
