Regarding flow at the intake: At the last meeting someone asked about negative or reverse flow in the river at the intake. There was an instant response of, “No, never negative,” but I wonder what that looks like at high or low tide. That is a big issue out here, and I personally would like to understand those flows at the intake during the complete tide cycle, i.e., top, bottom, half tide rising (flooding), half tide falling (ebbing). At full “take” what are the flows just above, just below and going out of the system? I assume that just below there is always a positive downstream cfs there even when it is peak flooding. Specific numbers like that would help. It would probably be good to measure during the driest drought time, low river flow. If we can get those flows, I can put stuff like that to bed when talking with people.
June 15, 2020Is there a map reflecting existing water infrastructure and facilities such as intakes, diversion works and conveyance facilities?
June 15, 2020The map presented at the December Stakeholder Engagement Committee meeting was prepared with information collected in past studies. The recreational areas shown on that map included fishing marinas, parks and wildlife viewing areas that could be affected by noise, light and air quality emissions. The database used for this map also included support facilities for the recreation areas, such as power poles. The database has been updated using information from California state agencies, and the updated map with recreational facilities was presented at the February 26, 2020, Stakeholder Engagement Committee meeting.
The database has been updated, and a map including public schools, hospitals, fire stations and local law enforcement was developed to represent sensitive receptors. It was presented at the February 26, 2020, Stakeholder Engagement Committee meeting. A separate map with publicly available marinas, boat launches, refuges and habitat preserves has been completed and was presented at the February 26, 2020, Stakeholder Engagement Committee meeting.
