Figure 8–6 Bathymetric Map from the Combined Data Points

of the February 2010 EDCOP survey and the current survey (July 2010)

The detailed bathymetric map of the Intake Towers shows the deep portion of the reservoir
adjacent to the dam. Representative cross sections are provided in Figures 8–7 to 8–11. There
was no cone of depression in the area adjacent to the structures which are evidence that the
structures’ effect on bathymetry may be insignificant.
