Summary

[edit]
Description Blasting crews place explosive charges in the Folsom Dam auxiliary spillway foundation in Folsom, Calif., April 9 in preparation for one of the final rock blasts. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District completed its final rock blasting for the foundation of spillway’s control structure April 13, concluding daily road closures on Folsom Lake Crossing bridge. More than 3.5 million cubic yards of rock and soil were removed from the auxiliary spillway site. With blasting complete, the Sacramento District will now shift its focus to construction of the spillway's control structure, essentially a second dam. The spillway is scheduled to be ready for use in 2017 and will allow Folsom Dam to release water sooner and more safely, helping reduce flood risk for the Sacramento region.
