�sabeHa Dam Safety ModfflDcaV®,1T Study
In 2013, -Following the signing of the Record of Decision in December 2012D the Corps entered
the Pre - Construction Engineering and Design phase of the project. A number of procedural
tasks must still be completed in preparation of physical construction, which is scheduled to
begin on 2017.
Frequenl1y Asked Questions
Collapse All Expand All
+_- Wh I does=:t take the Corns so lone to fix a dam?
Given the multiple purposes of this dam facility and the long -terra benefits of provides, we
require thorough analysis of any modification to assure puNic safety and benefits are not
compromised by modification to the dam.
Dane analysis and designs are complex technical efforts. Risk assessments must be pefformed to
understand the extent of a problem and to evaluate options to fix the dams. On this case the
dam has multiple deficiencies that require correction which increases the time required to
understand and to start the foxes.
We also take great effort to comply with the National Envnronmental Protection Act and the
Endangered Species Act which does require significant time to assure that all requirements are
met.
I
The plan shows the Auxiliary Dam Recreation Area as a borrow site. How will the lost
recreation opportunities at this site be mitigated?
The Auxiliary Dam Recreation Area is planned to primarily be a temporary staging area that
would be returned for recreation use after the project is complete. Ot will also serge as a
secondary on -site borrow source for filter sand on the main and auxiliary dams should the
excavation of the emergency spillway not be able to provide sufficient quantities.
Other camping areas around the lake are not scheduled to be affected by the project, and the
U.S. Forest Service would continue to be the managing agency for these areas.
We recognize and appreciate the value of the public lands here, so a recreation plan is
anticipated for 2013 to further explore and identify options for mitigation to offset adverse
effects on recreation. Public participation will be solicited to address concerns over the
negative impacts of the project.
Will storage capacity of the reservoir be increased?
Not under the current dam safety modification study. Increasing of the storage capacity would
require separate authorization and would require a dif=ferent study.
=`How can the Corps be sure the project won't 'go over budget or take loner than stated?
We understand the concern regarding the duration of construction and are doing everything
possible to shorten completion dates. Currently, we are finalizing our costs and schedule for
design and construction,, and will have a more accurate reflection once that is complete. There
are always unknowns associated with construction, but we are committed to minimizing any
impacts that may arise. We will continue to refine the schedule to ensure efficiency in
construction.
There are no guarantees in regards to funding. (however with the continued support of the
community and the "'high risk" -' ranking of the dam, we will continue to express the need for
timely funding to beep the project on schedule.
±_ i.-Wouldn't dredgirng the reservoir for borrow material increase capacity and reduce overall
impacts?
Investigations have shown that obtaining borrow materials from the lake bottom are not cost
effective for filter and drain materials and would introduce other environmental concerns, such
as water quality effects associated with lake lowering, and increased fugitive dust concerns.
0
What is the Corps doing to make sure that recreation opportunities and the local
economy are not adversely affected by lowering the lake elevation levels?
We are working with the U.S. f=orest Service and locaO community groups to further minimize
the impacts to local events our the lake, campgrounds, boat ,,munches, etc. The majority of the
time the lake wouW remain sunder its current operation with the pool restriction, and recreation
wiH sti00 ire permitted on the Dake during construction.
We are committed to working with the community, and one of the concerns we are hearing is
about reducing the amount of time the Dake elevation wo uM be reduced. As a resuUtg under the
preferred alternative, the dowered pooh elevation for construction has been Hmo 'ted to a sin&
four -to- -six month window between October 2020 and March 2021.
This takes advantage of the natura0 how reservoir elevations during the fail and winter months
when it is a0ready being drawn down for flood contro0 operation, mini mizjng impacts to
recreation, water quaRy, fisheries, and socioeconomics,, 2nd further reduces the impacts over
the entire construction period. A more detaHed Recreation Nan resuOting from this process will
he presented in 2013.
flow is the Corps going to make sure air quality is nor affected by increased traffic and
exposed dust from lower lake elevations?
`Many in the local community would prefer a downstream dam, alternative. Whv isn't one
being considered?
A downstream repnacement dam at the auxiHary dam site was eva0 uated, but not selected
based our increased cost,, larger demand for materiaUs, a longer construction scheduDe and
Jncreased air quality concerns based our the additional earthwork. This project wore "t core
3
cheap, but our duty is to modernize the dams by getting the most value for every taxpayer
doNar, and that's what we believe our identified pDan does.
.What is the Record of Decision?
.What is the proiect cost?
The estimated project cosh us: $400 - $600 mu00uon.
,,_1 :i Impacts to rafting below the dam are not addressed in the EIS, how can we get a written
Ian to ensure adequate rafting flows during the recreation season?
The storage and reDease of flood water in Isabella Lake is under the control of our Water
Management Section; however, we have no influence over the operation of the reservoir
outside of flood operations. During construction,, the release of water wiffl continue to be
dependent on inflow, irrigation needs and downstream storage capacity.
We're doing everything we can to minimize the impact to the public, with as Httie disruption as
possNe. We Plan to put together a Recreation Phan in 2013 to further expDore and identify
options for mitigation to offset adverse effects on recreation inciud'ung the needs for
recreational flows in the lower Kern Rover.
As a side note, rafting companies that operate above the reservoir would continue operations
as normal and be unaffected by the dare safety modification project.
When will construction begin?
We are still in the Pre - Construction Engineering and Design phase. Once complete,, construction
would begin. Our current schedule shows construction beginning in 2017.
How long will construction last?
it could range from 4 years to 8 years depending on final recommendations, designs and
avaulaboln-dy of funds. We have a current construction schedule lasting from 2017 to 2022.
4
± The EIS says construction will beein in 2015, but your schedule shows construction
starting in 2014. Whv the difference?
In 2013, we entered the Pre - Construction Engineering and Design phase of our project. we st'ffl
have a number of proced ura0 tasks to complete in preparation for physica0 construction of the
s6ected alternative. The highway reDocations would begin in 2014. The major components of
constructbn wouid begin in 2017.
.�
—Once construction starts, is there going to be increased traffic in the valley? What about
during highway relocations?
Highway trucks wiH still be required to meet aH standards; therefore there shouW be no impacts
t0 roads except for the everyday wear and tear that they are designed for.
We anticipate some increased traffic aDong both highways during roadway realignments, but
the incrE ase wo uid n0t exceed rc�Vadway and intersection Hmits.
The potentU impacts from the highway realignments wiH be analyzed and further addressed in
a follow -on tiered NationaU Environmenta0 Micy Act action, and we will continue to work with
Utrans pup to and during construction for additiona0 opportunities to minimize short -tern
traffic aril circuDation impacts.
} - When will I know if my rrone tv is impacted?
Is my property going to be acquired? When will that process begin?
�t °s important that we go into this with realistic expectations. There are still many requirements
and mHestones, including project approval and funding, h�efore we can begin to provide more
detaHs cn property acquisition requirements and schedule.
At that point, we can begin to discuss options to assist affected individuals in applying for
relocation benefits. However, until we have an approved project and funding, we cannot
acquire or discuss offers with potentially affected land owners.
_ How many people will be working on the dam and will local workers be hired?
The workforce will vary depending on the phase of construction; however, the rough estimate
of a typo _-al work crew would likely be between 100-150 workers. We will fore a prime
contractor on a national level to clomplete the work, and the contractor will be responsUe for
hiring any work force to complete the job.
Will this project negatively affect the value of my property?
The refinements weDve made to the preferred plan would reduce many of the anticipated
construction - related impacts, but negative short-term impacts on property values may occur
during construction.
Our assessment of potential project impacts to the local economy found both short- and long-
term benefits associated with construction - related spending in the Kern Rover valley and
unrestricted reservoir operations upon completion of the project.
Long -term economic improvement resulting from recreaVon, higher lake levels, emp[oyrnent
opportunities, and lower safety resk would likely result in improved property values. These
project benefits may serve to provide the Kern Rover valley with greater long -term economic
stabMty, which is a major factor on determining regional property values.
#`� How can I obtain access to other reports associated with the Isabella Dam Safety
Modification Study?
The Freedom of Mormatoon Aug (FUA) process is the best way to obtain documents that are
not re�&csec➢ for pubVuc review at a munuma� cost (if any).

MEMORANDUM
May 8, 2013
TO: WATER BOARD MEMBERS
HAROLD HANSON, CHAIRMAN
RUSSELL JOHNSON, VICE CHAIRMAN
BOB SMITH
FROM: ART CHIANELLO, WATER RESOURCES MANAGER �C
SUBJECT: UPDATE ON KERN INTEGRATED REGIONAL WATER MANAGEMEN PLAN
(IRWMP) WATER CONSERVATION GRANT APPLICATION SUBMITTED BY
THE CITY OF BAKERSFIELD AND ID4.
Background:
The City of Bakersfield Water Resources Department and Kern County Water
Agency Improvement District No. 4 (ID 4) collaborated with four other Kern County
water entities and submitted a Round 2 Implementation Grant Proposal on behalf
of the Kern IRWMP Group. The Application was submitted on March 29, 2013 to the
California Natural Resources Agency, Department of Water Resources. The
proposed program would promote water conservation for residential, commercial,
and municipal customers through rebates, retrofits, and education. The project
represents the initiation of integrated programs, as well as the continuation of
existing efforts, to bring the Greater Bakersfield sub - region, which contains the Kern
IRWMP Region's largest urban areas, into compliance with two statewide water
conservation initiatives, AB 1420 and SBX7 -7.
The three programs included in this project are:
1. A municipal irrigation program which will build on existing City efforts
to improve the irrigation efficiency of its parks by installing
evapotranspiration based automated central controller systems. 18
parks will be retrofitted and brought on line in this effort.
2. A residential and commercial conservation incentive program, which
SA2013 MEMOS\2013 -05 -08 Water Board IRWMP grant application update.doc
May 8, 2013 Page 2
Kern IRWMP
would build on cal Water's existing program in their water service
area. The program would offer rebates, vouchers, and water audits
for commercial and residential customers in the City of Bakersfield's
water service area.
3. IN would extend their existing water education efforts to include high
schools, develop a high school curriculum, and implement teacher
training events.
It is expected that the three programs would save about 2,800 acre -feet of water
over the lifespan of the programs' measures. This is about as much water as 2,800
families would use in a single year.
The total project cost would be about $837,000, with $614,000 being provided by
grants, and $213,000 being provided by local matching funds. The City's share of
the grant would be about 90% of the $614,000, or about $550,000 in grant funds.
The State is expected to provide notification to the grant recipients by July 2013. It
is expected that if the City receives the grant, an agreement with the State will be
entered into around October 2013.
