  • Rainstorm creates reservoir impoundment behind Sepulveda Dam

    Sepulveda Dam, at the headwaters of the Los Angeles River, is the western-most of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ dams operated by the Los Angeles District in the Los Angeles County Drainage Area flood control system. Rainstorms create reservoir impoundment behind Sepulveda Dam. The reservoir reached 680 feet in elevation Feb. 4. The rising reservoir water surface causes Burbank Boulevard to be closed to traffic.  The Corps’ Reservoir Operations Center has notified local law enforcement of the reservoir’s rising elevation.

    Sepulveda Dam, at the headwaters of the Los Angeles River, is the western-most of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ dams operated by the Los Angeles District in the Los Angeles County Drainage Area flood control system. Rainstorms create reservoir impoundment behind Sepulveda Dam. The reservoir reached above 680 feet in elevation Aug. 20. The rising reservoir water surface causes Burbank Boulevard to be closed to traffic. The Corps’ Reservoir Operations Center has notified local law enforcement of the reservoir’s rising elevation.
  • Rainstorm creates reservoir impoundment behind Sepulveda Dam

    Sepulveda Dam, at the headwaters of the Los Angeles River, is the western-most of the Corps of Engineers’ dams operated by the Los Angeles District in the Los Angeles County Drainage Area flood control system. Rainstorms create reservoir impoundment behind Sepulveda Dam. The project collects local runoff from the uncontrolled drainage areas upstream and reduces the peak discharge into the channelized portion of the Los Angeles River, so the downstream channel has capacity to collect the local inflow from the San Fernando Valley.
