Santa Felicia Dam safety upgrades planned
The United Water Conservation District proposes to replace the existing outlet works and modify the existing spillway and dam at Santa Felicia Dam on Piru Creek in Ventura County, California to address potential failure under seismic loading and to increase capacity to pass the inflow design flood. The work is described as the Santa Felicia Dam Safety Improvement Project and would occur on federal lands administered by the U.S. Forest Service.
Environmental assessment with 30-day comment period
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission staff will prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Santa Felicia Project and plans to issue the EA by March 7, 2025. When issued, the EA will be available for a 30-day public comment period, and the Commission's Office of Public Participation can assist members of the public (phone: (202) 502-6595; email: [email protected]) with filing comments or interventions.
