Rindge Dam Feasibility Study Nears Completion

California State Parks is preparing a website with information about the project.

A feasibility study on the Rindge Dam removal project could be released to the public by this summer, according to California State Parks.

Both California State Parks and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are stakeholders in the controversial project.

Craig Sap, Supervisor for California State Parks Angeles District, said the study will include possible ways to use some of the sediment at the top of the dam for beach replenishment projects.

“Our first and foremost concern is the safety of down stream residents and sensitive environments,” Sap said.

Sap said a website is in the works with information about the project, which could be ready as early as this spring.

The plan to remove the Rindge Dam is meant to open Malibu Creek to allow the endangered Steelhead trout to move up stream.
