A milestone in California dam<br />
history was marked in 2015 by<br />
DWR’s Division of Safety of<br />
Dams (DSOD). Under DSOD’s<br />
direction, the seismically unsafe<br />
San Clemente Dam, which<br />
posed a danger to people,<br />
homes and infrastructure<br />
along the Carmel River, was<br />
safely removed. Removal of the<br />
106-foot-tall, 94 year-old dam<br />
became the largest such project<br />
in California history.<br />
Throughout the removal<br />
process, DSOD engineers<br />
and geologists analyzed and<br />
inspected each component.<br />
