Re: 2024 Dam Safety Inspection Follow-up
Dear Mr. Moseley:
On September 5 and 6, 2024, Mr. Ricardo Galdamez inspected the South Feather
Power Project, FERC No. 2088. Based on observations made and discussions held
during the inspection, we have the following action items that require your attention:
1. At both Little Grass Valley and Sly Creek spillways, concrete cracks from 1/8-
inch to 1/2-inch in width are visible throughout the spillway surface. SFWPA
should repair the cracks before the upcoming winter season to prevent further
freeze-thaw deterioration.
2. Repair patches that appeared to be recently performed were noted on some of the
spillways. As a reminder, you are required to coordinate all spillway repairs, in
excess of basic crack sealing, with our office prior to performing any repairs. Any
amount of saw cutting and/or removal of any concrete in order to place new
material is not considered routine maintenance or repairs and must be coordinated
with us.
3. At both Little Grass Valley and Sly Creek spillways, rocks continue to slide into
the spillway from the adjacent rocky slopes. Repeated slides, including small
rockslides, could result in a larger mass potentially sliding into the spillway
resulting in severe damage and a non-performing spillway. Assess options for
mitigating this rockfall risk at both spillways.
