On the recordSeptember 15, 1998
Mr. Speaker, the primary purpose of H.R. 4079 is to authorize the construction of a temperature control device on Folsom Dam. The dam is located about 20 miles upstream from the city of Sacramento, California on the American River. A temperature control device is needed to allow the diversion of municipal water supplies from a point higher in the water column in the Folsom Reservoir than is now possible with the existing municipal water intakes. By diverting the water high on the water column, cold water can be released into the lower American River for steelhead and fall-run chinook salmon during the critical July through October period of the year when water temperatures tend to reach their annual highs. I would urge an aye vote on this bill.
