The selected alternative involves lowering the existing emergency spillway on <br />the south side of the reservoir by 12.5 feet and increasing the spillway width to 30 feet. <br />The discharge channel would extend from the upper part of the reservoir through the <br />spillway to below the dam directing streamflows away from the reservoir. <br /> <br />Schedule: Design drawings will be prepared early next year for review by the SEO and <br />CWCB staffs. Construction is expected to start in September of 2002 and should be <br />completed in November of 2002. <br /> <br />Total Estimated Proiect Cost: $465,000 <br /> <br />Keeton Dam Location Map <br /> <br /> <br />- <br />
