Sample Water Resources Projects - Continued downstream of the dam, or underwater to the stilling pool, preventing ice buildup in winter. Boyle also designed the relocation of two miles of U.S. Highway 40 which would have been inundated by the reservoir. The relocation included two channelized intersections —one to the dam and one to the recreation area. North Canadian River Eastern, Western, and May Avenue Dams Boyle was selected to provide design and construction services for three fully- automated low -level dams across the North Canadian River for Oklahoma City's MAPS Project. The MAPS Project involves creating an aesthetically pleasing "riverfront" setting along the North Canadian River. The plan, which involves designing an integrated series of lakes, picnic areas, and trails, will provide recreational opportunities along the river through the city. The dams play an integral part in creating the water features along the river. Eastern Avenue Dam, the first phase of the project, involves a 600 - foot -wide gating structure across the North Canadian River. The structure consists of three 13 -foot by 100 -foot top- operated hinged crest gates founded on a 4- foot -thick slab. The gate structure will be used to maintain an upstream pool for recreational use. The design of Western and May Avenue Dams, the second phase of the project, involves two roller compacted concrete (RCC) dams with a total of ten 13- foot -high by 50- foot -wide top- operated hinged crest gates. The dams include two sets of 10- foot -wide by 13- foot -high lock gates. Groundwater pump - back/water quality wells will be used to maintain the groundwater in the city after construction. The dams and the reservoir will be operated and monitored by a SCADA system. The dam design was reviewed and approved by the Dam Safety Section of the Oklahoma State Engineer's Office. Olivenhain Water Storage Project Olivenhain Municipal Water District provides water to a 31,000 -acre service area that includes the city of Encinitas, part of the city of Carlsbad, the communities of Whispering Palms and Fairbanks Ranch, and unincorporated county areas north and east of Rancho Santa Fe. The present demands of the district are approximately 12,000 acre -feet per year. The Olivenhain water storage project was conceived to store and filter imported raw water to provide for the ultimate demands of the district. The project has taken on regional significance as more entities consider participation. These include the city of San Diego, the Santa Fe Irrigation District, Costa Real Municipal Water District, San Marcos County Water District, San Dieguito Water District, Vista Irrigation District, and the city of Oceanside. The city of San Diego, for example, would use the project as a -17-
