Cracks In Twain Harte Lake Dam Update

Posted by: John_Hamilton on 08/03/2014 04:36 PM
Twain Harte, CA...At approximately 10:45 a.m., Tuolumne County emergency officials first received notification of leaks from a portion of the Twain Harte Lake Dam. This leak is occurring at a location where the dam interfaces with a large granite rock on the southern end of the dam. Water officials on site do not believe there is an eminent threat of failure of the dam. As a precautionary measure, approximately 2,000 gallons of water per minute is currently being released from Twain Harte Lake. At the same time, a commensurate amount of water is being released from the Phoenix Lake Reservoir which will receive the water from Twain Harte Lake. Some of this water will be absorbed into local streambeds (i.e. Twain Harte Creek and Sullivan Creek) and all remaining water will ultimately flow into Don Pedro Reservoir.
These water releases will continue until the Twain Harte Lake level has been reduced by approximately ten feet in elevation. This will lower the lake level to a point below where the leak is occurring. Water officials estimate it will take two days to complete this process. During this time, local stream levels will be above normal summer flows but below normal winter storm flows. While no flooding is expected persons living along Twain Harte Creek and Sullivan Creek should avoid those water ways until further notice...

August-September TUD On Tap Newsletter

Posted by: Lea_Marie_C_Paar on 08/03/2014 11:29 PM
Tuolumne County, Ca...TUD has recently reduced water restrictions from 50% to 25%. We are pleased with the amount of water conservation that has taken place which has helped improve our overall water supply. Find out more about these changes in our latest TUD On Tap Newsletter, On Tap - August-September 2014. Tuolumne Utilities District (TUD) has reduced the mandatory water restrictions from 50% to 25%. The Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Phase III Mandatory Water Restrictions on July 22, 2014. The District has seen a great effort by our customers to conserve water. The two main reasons TUD made this reduction to conservation are customers have been conserving more water than originally estimated (thank you), and we have taken operational steps to hold more water back at Lyons Reservoir. “These two factors played a significant role in our decision to scale back the conservation effort at this time,” states Tom Scesa, General Manager. Since TUD implemented water restrictions in January, the conservation measures have helped increase overall water supply....

Yosemite El Portal Fire Update. 4,198 Acres, 58% Contained, 1,360 Personnel

Posted by: thepinetree on 08/01/2014 12:49 PM
Yosemite, CA...Last night crews conducted burnout operations on the northwest flank of the fire; this tactic is used to slow the progression of the fire by starving it of fuels. Conditions were very favorable and the crews made considerable progress. On the lower portion of the fire, crews continued mopping up, securing the containment line, and removing trash and equipment no longer in use. The weather forecast calls for hot and dry conditions for the entire fire area today with a strong potential for spot fires outside the fire perimeter. Plenty of resources are in place to address this concern. Today burnout operations will continue as long as conditions are favorable. Crews will continue to mop up and secure the containment line. The evacuation that was in place in Foresta will be lifted at 3:00 P.M., and only residents will be allowed to enter the area. Complete details are enclosed....
