	7 Oaks Dam (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The Seven Oaks Dam is one of nine parts of the Santa Ana River Mainstem Project of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; it currently is the largest public works project in North America.
		The Seven Oaks Dam is a flood-control dam whose purpose is to contain, as much as possible, the flow of the Santa Ana River during heavy rain storms.
		The contractor for construction of the dam embankment is OCC Odebrecht Contactor of California, Sherman Oaks, a subsidiary of the Brazilian firm Construtora Norberto Odebrecht, based upon its low bid of $167.8 million in 1993.

		It is bounded by Seven Oaks Dam to the northeast and includes portions of the San Bernardino National Forest and the cities of San Bernardino, Redlands, Highland, and Colton.
		Although Seven Oaks Dam impedes sediment transport and reduces the magnitude, frequency, and extent of floods, the system still retains partial fluvial dynamics because contributions from Mill Creek are not impeded by a dam or debris basin.
		Approximately 309 hectares (764 acres) of alluvial fan scrub in the wash near the low-flow channel of the river were designated for preservation as mitigation because these sections of the wash were thought to have the highest potential to maintain the hydrology necessary for the periodic regeneration of early phases of alluvial fan sage scrub.

		"Seven Oaks is a high head dam, meaning it's designed to operate under the high pressures associated with a deep reservoir," Evelyn said.
		Since this was the first time significant flood control releases would be made from the dam, we felt we'd likely find that we could adjust the procedures developed during the design of the dam, and improve overall project operation.

		Although the 106 ft (32 m) high Prado Dam -- intended to control flooding along the river -- was completed three years after the 1938 disaster, the structure's presence has not eliminated concerns that the county could once again suffer the effects of a severe flood.
		In its present form Prado Dam is designed to protect against a 70-year flood, that is, a flood with a magnitude expected to occur on average once every 70 years.
		At the same time, the dam's crest will be lengthened from 2,280 to 3,050 ft (695 to 930 m), and its outlet capacity will increase from 9,000 to 30,000 cfs (255 to 850 m3/s).

		Once the grate is clogged (as shown at right from the most recent flooding), the lake can rise and breach the dam in as little as 20 minutes due to the large amount of water that passes through the lake during heavy rains.
		When the dam is breached, the water exits the lake via the emergency overflow and into the ditches along Dougherty Ferry.
		When the lake floods, enormous pressure is put on the dam, and large whirlpool currents form in the lake.
