Executive Summary <br /> ES-2 <br />RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVE <br />The following are the elements of the recommended alternative for the Project- <br />1. The recommended seepage control modifications to Continental Dam include placement <br />of a two-stage filter blanket on the downstream embankment slope and toe drain for <br />seepage collection purposes and a stability buttress. <br />2. The recommended spillway modifications include rehabilitation of the spillway chute and <br />installation of a USBR Type II stilling basin along the right abutment. The existing <br />concrete spillway chute would be demolished near the toe of the embankment, and a new <br />rectangular spillway chute would be installed, with a new floor slab and chute walls <br />being constructed on the interior of the remaining portion of the existing chute. <br />FINANCIAL PROGRAM <br />Total capital expenses for the recommended Project alternatives, including construction <br />and construction contingency, construction engineering, SMRC’s administration and legal <br />support is $4,055,000.00 (rounded). SMRC is anticipating receiving 25 percent funding support <br />from the Basin and Statewide grants from the Water Supply Reserve Account (WSRA) for <br />$51,000.00 and $962,750.00, respectively, totaling $1,013,750.00. This support would reduce <br />the Project cost to $3,041,250.00. SMRC is applying for the remaining balance of <br />$3,041,250.00 through the CWCB Small Project Loan Program. SMRC’s loan request, with the <br />CWCB 1 percent service fee, totaling $30,413.00, is for the amount of $3,071,663.00. The <br />annual payment will be $132,480.07, assuming a 30-year loan at an interest rate of 1.75 percent. <br />Table ES.1 presents a summary of the requested Project loan. <br />SCHEDULE <br />The design has been completed and has been to the SEO for review and approval. It is <br />anticipated that the Project will receive approval from the SEO during the month of July 2013. <br />The SMRC has obtained the required environmental permits and clearances from the US Forest <br />Services (USFS) and US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) for the Project. Construction is <br />scheduled to begin in May 2014 with the completion date in December 2014. <br />
