New Bullards Bar Dam

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

New Bullards Bar Dam is a dam in California on the Yuba River and forms the New Bullards Bar Reservoir, which has a capacity of 960,000 acre-feet (1,180,000,000 m³). It is located near the town of Dobbins in Yuba County. The dam is operated by the Yuba County Water Agency for irrigation, drinking water and hydroelectric power production. The dam is a variable radius concrete arch design and has a height of 645 feet (195 m). It is in the top 40 dams in the world for height and in the top 50 for reservoir size.

The New Colgate powerhouse is not located at the dam. It is five miles (8 km) downstream, which increases the head. Its two Pelton wheels have a combined capacity of 325 megawatts and are some of the biggest ever made. The small Fish Release powerhouse was constructed in 1986 at the base of the dam. It has a capacity of 150 kW and provides water for fish on the Yuba River.
