Good afternoon, commissioners im ellen the deputy manager the sfpuc water enterprise and here to give you an overview of the project the alameda is part of a sfpuc Water System Improvement Program this Commission Certified the Environmental Impact report in october of 2008 the project was initially created to recapture water from the Calaveras Damn with the memorandum of understanding they were revised through the calaveras and resulted in a recatch the key objective have to capture the in flows from calaveras that are required under the permit to operate the Calaveras Dam the Alameda Creek ill show you a picture of that that depicts the location a facility that is used to divert water into the calaveras from the creek and bypasses allowing us to move water around that facility so the water stays in the creek the bypasses are intended to provide the habitat of stream capture and the compliance location with that. As i said the Alameda Creek depended on the calaveras in flow schedules that be implemented as part of Calaveras Reservoir so releases from the reservoir together with the bypasses are estimateed the range is 82 to 26 thousand per acre per year and the recapture volume is estimated to be 72 acres feet on average with the range of 48 hundred to 92 acre feet per year youll note the recapture volume is less than half of the amount of water released in the bypass the water recaptured with the infiltration it is used by the acquire operators on the where is that project located the project is located in the east bay near the town of synol that is queer operation the dictate it pond the water is recaptured in this i imagine at the bottom right of the picture you see Calaveras Reservoir im sorry for the audience in the it is a difficult image but the bottom right the Calaveras Reservoir a dark solid line thats where the Alameda Creek is the blue arrows indicates the flow of Alameda Creek and the red triangle at the top with the location of the recapture project i want to note that the project is not involving construction or facility in Alameda Creek our the banks of the creek so the project component there will be 4 vertical mounts depicted in the incidental the system before flexible discharge pipes from each pipe that will be located on the shoreline of the pond and from the manifold one foot 36 diaphragm pipeline that connects to the pump station pipeline the components includes one thousand flow motor and an electricalful building the trees provide shade and the electrical transforms and Power Facilities and Battery Power in terms of the project operation well operate the pond as all reservoirs fill in in the wintertime and drop down in december this image here depicts the annual operation of the pond it raise in the winter and start to be drown down in april and note the pond is never drawn down completely in dry years.
