Updated Folsom Water Control Manual signed by USACE, Reclamation
Ernest Conant, Mid-Pacific regional director for the Bureau of Reclamation, and Cheree Peterson, SES, director of programs for the South Pacific Division, sign a special commemorative document representing the Folsom Dam Water Control Manual at a signing event, June 12, 2019. The newest version of the manual supports more accurate release decisions based on weather forecasts and uses the new auxiliary spillway more efficiently. The signing was a symbolic culmination of years of effort and thousands of man-hours invested in strengthening the dam and reducing risk for the entire Sacramento area.
