Project Type: Surface Water Drainage - Sediment Transport
Littlerock Reservoir Sediment Removal Project EIR/EIS
For the Palmdale Water District/Angeles National Forest this EIS/EIR evaluates the impacts
of sediment removal alternatives for the Littlerock Reservoir and Dam on USFS Angeles National
Forest (NEPA Lead Agency) land in Los Angeles County. Sediment build-up has greatly reduced
the storage capacity, diminishing its water retention ability for use in water provision or
flood control. The project involves impacts to the arroyo toad, extensive coordination with
USFWS for a Section 7 consultation, incorporation of new Forest Service plan updates and
requirements into the analysis, preparation of the Forest Service required BE/BA, and analysis
of compliance with Federal air quality conformity requirements.
