Description of Filing: EID proposes to reconstruct the El Dorado Diversion Dam and to construct a 1.8-mile-long bypass tunnel to replace a damaged portion of the existing El Dorado Canal. Both the diversion dam and the canal were severely damaged by storm runoff and land slides, which occurred during January 1997. Reconstruction of the dam would involve a headwall, replacement of a fish ladder, and an intake facility with a fish screen that would be reconstructed on the north side instead of the south side of the channel. The 1.8-mile-long bypass tunnel would replace about 2.3 miles of damaged wood and concrete portions of the canal. EID proposes to remove the damaged portions of the canal and to stabilize the portions that would remain unused following construction of the bypass tunnel. l. Location of the application: A copy of the application is available for inspection and reproduction at the Commission's Public Reference Room, located at 888 First Street, NE, Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, or by calling (202) 208-1371.
