The reservoir, located on the North Fork Feather River in Plumas County, has accumulated approximately 2.3 million cubic meters of sediment, filling almost half its total capacity since it was placed in service in 1949. WEINRIBĪ demonstration test of a new environmentally friendly slurry dredging technology using the “EDDY Pump,” a patented vortex slurry pump, was performed in 1994 at Cresta Reservoir in northern California to verify its performance capabilities and to determine the potential environmental impacts of proposed dredging.
