Twitchell Reservoir

Twitchell Reservoir is a reservoir in southern San Luis Obispo County and northern Santa Barbara County in California. The reservoir has a capacity of 197,756 acre⋅ft (243,928,000 m3) and is formed by Twitchell Dam on the Cuyama River about 66 miles (106 km) from its headwaters in the Chumash Wilderness Area. About 7 miles (11 km) below the dam, outflow joins the Sisquoc River near Garey, CA to form the Santa Maria River. Twitchell Dam was built by the United States Bureau of Reclamation between 1956 (1956) and 1958 (1958). The original names were Vacquero Dam and Vacquero Reservoir, but they were changed to honor T. A. Twitchell of Santa Maria, a proponent of the project. The dam and reservoir provide flood control and water conservation. The Central Coast of California only receives significant amounts of rainfall during the winter, this area averaging 14 inches (360 mm) per year. The water is stored in the reservoir during big winter storms and released as quickly as possible while still allowing it to percolate into the soil and recharge the groundwater. This means that the reservoir is usually far from full. It is estimated that the project increases recharge by 20,000 acre⋅ft (25,000,000 m3) annually. Sedimentation is a problem for the reservoir, as the reservoir is being filled 70 percent faster than expected. This reduces its capacity and blocks the water inlet to the control gates. Some sediment has been removed by flushing it out during releases, but much of it is simply deposited immediately downstream, interfering with flows. There is no public access to the dam or reservoir.

Morris Reservoir

Morris Reservoir is located in the San Gabriel Mountains, within the Angeles National Forest, in Los Angeles County, California. It is impounded by Morris Dam, which was completed in 1935. Morris Dam is a gravity dam rising 245 feet (75 m) above the San Gabriel River stream bed. Geography The reservoir is located alongside California State Route 39, approximately 5 miles (8.0 km) north of the city of Azusa. Morris Reservoir is just downstream from the San Gabriel Dam. The mean water elevation is about 1,100 feet (340 m), when the reservoir is at capacity. Morris Reservoir Naval Weapons Test Site The reservoir and its slopes were the Morris Reservoir Naval Weapons Test Site, a naval weapons test facility, from World War II through the 1990s. The reservoir was transferred to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works in 1995. The test facility was established by Caltech, which was developing weapons for the Navy at its Naval Ordnance Test Station (NOTS) at China Lake (town), near Ridgecrest, California. It today is now known as the Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake, and is still the primary proving ground for naval weapons systems. Because China Lake is a dry lake in the Mojave Desert, Caltech opened this substation at the Morris Reservoir, near their campus, north of Azusa in the San Gabriel Mountains. This site was used especially for the development of submarine-based warfare systems, including torpedoes, bombs, and submarine-launched missiles like the Polaris rocket, the first ballistic missile that could be launched from submerged submarines. Most of the buildings at the site have been removed, and the site is being restored to a "natural" state, and may once again be open to the public.

Salt Springs Reservoir

Salt Springs Reservoir is a reservoir in the eastern portions of Amador County and Calaveras County of California in the Sierra Nevada about 30 miles (48 km) east-northeast of Jackson. The reservoir is in the Eldorado National Forest at an elevation of 3,900 feet (1,200 m). The 141,900 acre-foot (175,000,000 m3) reservoir is formed by Salt Springs Dam on the North Fork of the Mokelumne River. The concrete-faced rock-fill dam is 332 feet (101 m) tall and was completed in 1931 (1931). It is owned by Pacific Gas and Electric and its sole purpose is hydroelectricity production, though limited recreation is available. A short pipeline from the reservoir conveys water to the 44 MW Salt Springs Powerhouse. Some of the water is returned to the river downstream, but much of it flows into the Tiger Creek Conduit, a concrete flume that moves water downstream for use in other powerhouses in PG&E's Mokelumne River Project (FERC Project 137). The dam has a history of settlement problems caused by poor consolidation of the rocks during construction. The concrete face has been cracked many times by the movement, causing leaks. The surface of the dam consists of cracks, craters and shotcrete overlays. It was decided to use a flexible geomembrane to cover the portions of the dam with the greatest leakage. The installation of the membrane was completed in 2005. The dam is being examined as the lower pool in a 380-1,140 MW pumped-storage project with the Bear River Dam as the upper pool.

Whiskeytown Lake

Whiskeytown Lake is a reservoir in Shasta County in northwestern California, United States, about 8 miles (13 km) west of Redding. The lake is in the Whiskeytown Unit of the Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area. Whiskeytown Lake has a capacity of 241,100 acre⋅ft (297.4 Gl) and is formed by Whiskeytown Dam on Clear Creek. Additional water comes from Lewiston Reservoir, supplied by the Trinity River, via the Clear Creek Tunnel, which comes from the bottom of Lewiston Lake. The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment has issued a safe eating advisory for any fish caught in the Whiskeytown Lake due to elevated levels of mercury. Recreation There are recreational activities available at the lake, including camping, swimming, boating, water skiing and fishing. However, personal water craft have been banned from the lake. Fishing opportunities include rainbow and German brown trout; largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass; and kokanee salmon. Whiskeytown is favored by locals because of the 30 ft (9.1 m) visibility of its waters, and wildlife that surround the lake. There are numerous breeding pairs of bald eagles that nest on the lake's shores. Sharing the habitat are black bears, mountain lions, blacktail deer, turtles and raccoons, among other wildlife. It is mandated that the lake be at full capacity by Memorial Day, and remain full until Labor Day. Whiskeytown Dam Whiskeytown Dam, an earth-fill embankment dam, is 263 ft (80 m), and was completed in 1963. It is owned and operated by the United States Bureau of Reclamation. Its purpose is to provide flood control, water for irrigation, and electricity generation. Powerhouse Before entering the lake, the water generates hydroelectricity at the 154 MW Judge Francis Carr Powerhouse. Whiskey Creek also empties into the lake. A large portion of the lake's water leaves through the Spring Creek Tunnel, which delivers the water to the 180-MW Spring Creek Powerhouse, whose tailrace empties into Keswick Reservoir. The 117-MW Keswick Powerhouse at Keswick Dam empties into the Sacramento River. Most of the electricity produced by the three powerhouses supplies Redding's municipal electric utility, as well as other municipal electric utilities in Northern California, with the remainder offered into the California Independent System Operator's markets for purchase by load-serving entities throughout the state. Climate Whiskeytown Reservoir is one of several places in northern California to register a temperature of 120 °F or above (some others include Red Bluff and Orland).

Riviera Country Club

Der Riviera Country Club ist ein privater Golfclub mit eigenem Golfplatz im Stadtteil Pacific Palisades in der US-amerikanischen Stadt Los Angeles. Geschichte Mit der Gründung des Clubs 1926 wurde der Golfplatz von den Architekten George C. Thomas junior und William P. Bell geplant. Mit 243.827 US-Dollar war es zu dieser Zeit einer der teuersten Golfplätze in der Geschichte. Der Platz wurde einige Male umgestaltet. 1992 folgte durch Ben Crenshaw und Bill Coore eine Rückgestaltung zum gleichen Kurs wie bei der Errichtung des Platzes. Während der Olympischen Sommerspiele 1932 wurden auf dem Areal des Clubs das Dressur- und Vielseitigkeitsreiten sowie der Geländeritt im Modernen Fünfkampf ausgetragen. Hierfür wurde eine Tribüne mit 3000 Sitzplätzen sowie eine weitere temporäre Tribüne mit 6500 Sitzplätzen errichtet. Neben einigen anderen Filmen wurde 1952 der Film Pat und Mike mit Katharine Hepburn und Spencer Tracy auf dem Gelände des Riviera Country Club gedreht. Riviera hatte viele berühmte Mitglieder, darunter Humphrey Bogart, Glen Campbell, Vic Damone, Peter Falk, Jack Ging, Dean Martin, Gregory Peck, Walt Disney, Hal Roach, Douglas Fairbanks und Mary Pickford. Der Schauspieler Conrad Veidt starb 1943 beim Golfspielen auf dem Platz an einem Herzinfarkt. Willie Hunter, britischer Amateurmeister von 1921 und sechsmaliger Gewinner der PGA Tour, fungierte von 1936 bis 1964 als Präsident. 1939 half er den Platz vor Überschwemmungen zu bewahren und rettete den Club während des Zweiten Weltkriegs vor dem Bankrott. Sein Sohn Mac Hunter war von 1964 bis 1973 Vorsitzender. PGA-Tour Der Riviera Country Club war 1929 und 1930 sowie von 1945 bis 1953 Gastgeber der Los Angeles Open. 1973 kehrte das Turnier zurück, wo es seither mit Ausnahme von 1983 und 1998 bis 2020 insgesamt 75 Mal ausgetragen wurde. Besonders Ben Hogan lag der Kurs des Platzes sehr. Er gewann auf dem Gelände des Riviera Country Club zweimal die Los Angeles Open (1947, 1948), wurde einmal Zweiter (1946) und siegte 1948 bei den US Open. Weitere Majorsieger waren Hal Sutton, der die PGA Championship im August 1983 gewann, sowie Steve Elkington dem Gleiches im Jahr 1995 gelang. Major-Turniere Golfplatz Der Platz des Riviera Country Clubs ist 6413 m lang, für die Turniere der PGA Tour beträgt die Länge 6695 m von den hinteren Abschlägen, 5972 von den mittleren Abschlägen und 5401 m von den vorderen Abschlägen. Das Course Rating und Slope betragen 74,6/135 und 72,2/130 für die hinteren respektive mittleren Abschläge. Bei den Damen liegen die Werte bei 74,3/142 für die vorderen Abschläge. Der Platzrekord für Wettkampfspiele liegt bei 61, zehn unter Par. Gespielt wurde dieser von Ted Tryba 1999 in der dritten Runde der Nissan Open.
