Project Name: Buchanan Dam/Eastman Lake Enlargement
Requested Amount: $1,000,000
Intended Recipient: Sacramento District, US Army Corps of Engineers
Full Street Address of Intended Recipient: 1325 J Street, Sacramento, CA 95814
Explanation of the request: The Project including the raise, increase and reoperation of the United States Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) Eastman Lake/Buchanan Dam contains three elements aimed at creation of a regional water supply, increased capacity in the existing Eastman Lake, improved recharge potential through the Chowchilla River, improved recreation access via trails for residents in the project area, and overall creation of more resilient water conditions for the residents in the disadvantaged communities in Merced and Madera Counties. With the changing climate and California’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), there is a need to make maximum beneficial use of all available flood waters, when available, and the most efficient way to achieve this is to capture the water in existing reservoirs/basins and store for future use. The project will serve as a conservation storage for short-term storage of available surface waters up to 50,000 acre-feet, and will be used for downstream beneficial uses, including direct and indirect recharge, within the critically over-drafted groundwater basin Project Summary: Increase Eastman Lake’s capacity by 50 thousand acre-feet (TAF), from 150 TAF to 200 TAF. 8,750 AF additional surface water deliveries on average available for growers to reduce reliance on groundwater, increase FloodMAR, enhance drinking water supply, create additional opportunities for recreation, and enhance environmental use.

Project Name: Lower San Joaquin River Feasibility Study
Requested Amount: $800,000
Intended Recipient: San Joaquin Area Flood Control Agency
Full Street Address of Intended Recipient: 122 East Weber Ave, Suite 301, Stockton, CA 95202
Explanation of the request: SJAFCA, along with the State of California, are the non-federal sponsors of the Lower San Joaquin River Feasibility Study (LSJRFS). The Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is the federal sponsor. Federal funding is needed to advance this Congressionally authorized flood control study as enhanced flood protection measures are needed to protect 50,000 people and critical infrastructure in California's Central Valley from the risk of flooding. A 2021 life risk safety assessment performed by the Corps concluded that there would be significant loss of life in the area of this follow-on study due to a flood if no project is built to protect the community. Additionally, technical studies completed by the State of California concluded that the San Joaquin watershed is at high risk of significantly larger and more frequent flood flows due to climate change. The LSJRFS is scoped to explore both regional flood risk management and ecosystem restoration opportunities to further reduce flood risk within the study area and improve overall flood system resilience to climate change.
