CCF Station 244 Temporary Repair (OM-DFD-2025-018)

The CCF Station 244 Temporary Repair project (OM-DFD-2025-018) is a maintenance effort managed by the California Department of Water Resources to repair an eroded section of interior soil cement liner at the Clifton Court Forebay Dam in Byron, Contra Costa County. The scope of work involves repairing a section approximately 30 feet long and 25 feet high at Station 244. Department of Water Resources staff and contracted divers will utilize geotextile bags filled with clean crushed rock or pea gravel, placed via boom truck, small crane, or forklift, and packed into the erosion void using hand tools. Additionally, super-sack bags filled with crushed rock or gravel will be placed on the dam face using a boom truck or small crane. All activities will be performed within the Department of Water Resources right of way. The project is classified as exempt under Class 1, Existing Facilities, Section 15301, as it consists of essential maintenance to prevent further erosion damage to State Water Project facilities without creating significant environmental impacts. The project is categorized under NAICS code 237990 and is currently listed as a forecast with a posted date of August 15, 2025. Primary points of contact for the project include Environmental Scientist Janine Beck and Environmental Program Manager Sara Lowry.
