History of Reservoir and River Operations Sample Clauses

History of Reservoir and River Operations. The first facility to impound the waters of the Truckee River was a private timber crib dam constructed at the outlet of Lake Tahoe in 1870. Construction of this dam initiated a series of disputes over rights to the use of the waters of Lake Tahoe and the Truckee River. The dam was used to regulate flows in the Truckee River so that logs could be floated to saw xxxxx in Truckee, California. It also was used for milling purposes and to generate hydroelectric power. Several small run-of-the-river hydoelectric plants were constructed on the Truckee River in California around the turn of the 20th century. In 1908, after several changes in ownership, the Truckee River General Electric Company, predecessor to Sierra Pacific, signed an agreement with the Floriston Pulp and Paper Company to establish the first “Floriston Rates.” (See chapter 2.) Following enactment of the Reclamation Act of 1902, the Secretary authorized construction of the Newlands Project, and the Reclamation Service (predecessor of BOR) began construction of Derby Diversion Dam and the Truckee Canal, which were completed in 1905 and 1906, respectively. In 1903, BOR made claim to rights to the water stored in Lake Tahoe for delivery to the Newlands Project. The United States subsequently filed a condemnation lawsuit and entered into a series of lengthy negotiations with the owners of Lake Tahoe Dam and other local interests. These negotiations culminated in a 1915 Federal court decree known as the Truckee River General Electric Decree, which gave the United States an easement for and the right to operate Lake Tahoe Dam and its controlling works. Between 1909 and 1913, BOR and the Electric Company reconstructed the dam at Lake Tahoe to its present configuration. The dam controls the top 6.1 feet of storage at Lake Tahoe as a Federal reservoir.14
