We will have up to 375 workers on-site daily in 2024. This number will increase to approximately 450 workers in 2025. To meet our goal of 50% carpooling, we will continue our shuttle program. The shuttle program brings workers to site in 15-passenger vans from the Northwater Treatment Plant

RCC placements are a 24/7 operation. Lights are needed to illuminate the roads, produce and crush aggregate, batch and convey concrete, and maintain and support operations. We will continue to downcast lights as much as possible while maintaining the safety of our workers.

Raising the dam requires an on-site quarry, crusher plant, batch plant and conveyor system, as well as more deliveries, equipment and support staff. While we expect an increase in noise on-site, we will continue to assess noise levels to make sure they stay below allowable limits.

Up to 30 additional trucks will deliver cement and fly ash daily in 2024. We have hired dedicated drivers for these deliveries who will go through training to drive safe through the canyon. Trucks will haul throughout the day and night; however, we will not haul cement or fly ash during school bus hours, 7-8:30 a.m. and 3-4:30 p.m.

The batch plant mixes the materials together to make concrete. It will take nearly 740,000 cubic yards of RCC to raise the dam. The entire batch plant is almost the length of two football fields.
