Engineering, Inc. report titled “Sleepy
Hollow Steelhead Rearing Facility Sediment Control and Intake Retrofit” to
reflect current environmental conditions,
environmental regulatory constraints, and predictable changes due to the
impending removal of San Clemente Dam.
Since Mr. Dettman designed and oversaw the original construction of the
Facility in 1997 and implementation of the Interim Sediment Retrofit Project in
2003, his input will be invaluable in reviewing any revisions to Intake
