The replacement Calaveras Dam has reached its full height of 220 feet.
The month of September marked a huge milestone for the Calaveras Dam Replacement Project. The new replacement earth and rock fill dam has finally reached its full height and is nearly ready to begin impounding water this winter.
You might have read about it or seen it on the news. We had many media outlets out at the dam on September, 21, 2018 to cover the occasion.
Here are some photo highlights in honor of Photo Friday.

Here is the entire Calaveras Dam Replacement Project Team atop the new dam.
The project isn't completed, however. The crew will work on completing the approach channel, constructing access and roadways throughout the site, restoration and revegetation, placing instruments, and installing gates and security systems.
The overall project is 94% complete and is scheduled to be completed in spring 2019.
