<br />Since construction, Beaver Reservoir had a history of sinkhole <br />development in the reservoir floor near the embankment. Sinkhole <br />repairs, consisting primarily of backfilling and capping with clay, <br />often were effective in the short-term, but did not prevent the <br />development of new sinkholes and the eventual appearance of old <br />sinkholes. In response to the sinkhole activity in 1992, the dam <br />had been placed on restricted storage by the CDWR, Office of the <br />State Engineer. That resulted in the 1993 feasibility study on <br />file with the CWCB and the existing loan to Beaver Reservoir <br />Company for installation of a liner in the reservoir. The CDWR has <br />removed the limitation of restricted storage within the reservoir. <br /> <br />Page 6 of 15 <br />
