Description: | Technical Report Abstract: The man-made water retaining structures at the Folsom Dam and Reservoir Project, located on the American River about 20 miles upstream of the the City of Sacramento, CA, have been evaluated for their seismic safety in the event of a Magnitude 6.5 earthquake occurring on the East Branch of the Bear Mountains Fault Zone at a distance of about 15 km. The evaluation process involved extensive review of construction records, field and laboratory investigations, and analytical studies. It has been determined that all man-made water retaining structures will perform satisfactorily except for Mormon Island Auxiliary Dam. Remedial or hazard-mitigating action is recommended. |
