Director's Safety Review Board for Castaic, Crafton Hills, Perris Dams
Castaic, Crafton Hills, and Perris Dams are operated and maintained by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR). California Water Code requires DWR to retain an independent Director’s Safety Review Board (Board) on a five-year cycle to make an independent report to the DWR Director on the operational performance and safety of DWR-owned dams. Marc Ryan, Principal Engineer with Slate, participates on the Board providing engineering review, inspection, and safety evaluation of all project works at the dams.
As an independent consultant for the Board, our services included identifying actual or potential deficiencies, reviewing historical documentation of design, construction, instrumentation, performance, operations, and all other relevant documents as requested. Additionally, we performed an independent inspection, review, and safety evaluation of all the project works.
Slate services:
- Detailed review of all existing project information including original design and construction reports
- Dam safety inspection
- Evaluation of project works
- Development of reports for each dam
Technical components:
The role also includes participation on the Consulting Board of Review for the Castaic Dam Modernization. That project potentially includes a new intake structure, new outlet tunnel, new or rebuilt spillway, and a new downstream control structure.
