Historical Highlights: 100 Years of Zachry In 1996, Zachry was awarded a contract to build the 1.5-mile-long, 285-foot-high West Dam at the Diamond Valley Reservoir in Southern California – the largest earthmoving project in the United States at the time. The project team excavated more than 60 million cubic yards of earth for the approach channel and dam foundation, and 70 million cubic yards of rock for the dam embankment. The Reservoir, now known as Diamond Valley Lake, increased Southern California’s surface water storage capacity by more than 800,000 acre-feet. It can store up to a six-month emergency water supply and provides supplemental water during droughts and peak summer usage. #ZachryGroup #100YearsofZachry

Big trees + blue paint = pending timber sale. A century of fire suppression in the Southern Appalachians, along with some well-intentioned reforestation in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, has resulted in an overabundance of Pinus strobus (Eastern white pine) on sites that should be anything but. A group of us were in the field today, discussing how to engage state and private partnerships to cut the white pines, kill most of the non mast-producing hardwood sprouts, do site prep burns, and plant shortleaf pine, which should steer this area back within the natural range of historic variation - less an elk here, mountain lion and woods bison there, of course.

Maintaining our water supply is critical.
Valentine’s Day is here and we're recognizing not all break ups are bad! California is breaking up with a bang from the 2nd of 4 dams on the Klamath River with the help of the State of California, Klamath River Renewal Corporation, federal government, State of Oregon and Klamath Basin Tribes. The Klamath Dam Removal project is the largest river restoration project in U.S. History and will benefit the Tribes, ecosystem, and salmon.

Computer Geoscientist at OG Fixit - An Oil and Gas IT Geoscience Support Company. CompTIA A+; CompTIA Network+; CompTIA Security+; CompTIA CYSA;
have found a really good series of field geological videos on YouTube. If you are or want to be a fileled geologist, exploration geologist, or a much better rockhound Nick Tate's YouTube channel GeologyUpSkill full of two and half minute videos are phenomenal. Everything from field geology techniques. mineral id in the field ... to mineral indicator plants and the proper use of cattle gates and rock picks. Very cool videos. I have listed one of the videos below.

In the wake of the Caldor Fire, the Grizzly Flats community is showing resilience and determination in rebuilding. K+W is proud to be part of this journey towards restoration. As part of our ongoing efforts, the Grizzly Flats CSD conducted a study to determine the sediment accumulation in our WTP reservoir. This crucial step will pave the way for a future cleanup project, ensuring the safety and efficiency of our water system. K+W's own Colin Clements, CPA, and his son, stepping up when needed, took on the diving aspect of this project alongside K+W's surveying team. Together, they explored the reservoir bottom, collecting samples for laboratory testing. Our surveying team is diligently working on the bathymetric survey to illustrate the sediment layering, providing vital insights into the volume and characteristics of the sediment. The collaborative spirit and dedication of the Grizzly Flats community is fueling the journey toward restoration. Together, we're constructing a brighter, more resilient future for Grizzly Flats.
