Arrowrock Public Hearing On Tuesday, December 12, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation will conduct a public hearing on the Arrowrock Dam Outlet Works Rehabilitation Draft Environmental Impact Statement.
Individuals can sign up at the door to present comments.
Oral comments at the hearings will be limited to five minutes. All comments will be recorded by a court reporter and included in a hearing comment report. The purpose of the proposed action is to enable Reclamation to continue to operate Arrowrock Dam and Reservoir to meet the project purposes of irrigation and flood control. The current condition of the Arrowrock Dam outlet works presents an increasingly difficult maintenance problem. The Ensign valves, which control water releases from the dam, have been in use since 1915 and have exceeded their design life.
