Join YMF member Shawna Von Stockhausen to grab a bite to eat and hear about the construction of the Lenihan Dam Outlet Modification Project, completed in October 2009.   The project scope included a new outlet system for the Lexington Reservoir to the Los Gatos Creek to replace the existing outlet system that currently runs beneath the Lenihan Dam.  The new system includes a new sloping intake structure, half-mile tunnel, and new outlet structure.  The presentation will cover a brief project history and will focus on the two year construction period. Shawna will highlight the challenges and techniques used to navigate this technically demanding job.
