Anderson Dam Seismic Retrofit Project

The Anderson Dam Seismic Retrofit Project, led by the Santa Clara Valley Water District, is a comprehensive infrastructure initiative located in Morgan Hill, California. The primary objective is to retrofit Anderson Dam to meet public safety requirements, which will allow the district to restore Anderson Reservoir to its original capacity while minimizing environmental impacts. The scope of work includes the decommissioning of the dam's hydroelectric facility and the implementation of conservation measures along Coyote Creek. Post-construction activities will involve an adaptive management program, conservation measure operations, and Fish and Aquatic Habitat Collaborative Effort Plus Modified reservoir releases. The project has achieved compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act through the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report and the filing of a Notice of Determination. Administrative requirements have been met with the payment of environmental filing fees to the Santa Clara County Clerk-Recorder. The project is categorized under NAICS code 541620 and is managed by the Santa Clara Valley Water District, with key points of contact including Project Manager Tiffany Chao and Principal Planner Jeremy Farr.
