5.3.2.1 Reservoir Embankment Construction
As indicated above, two types of embankment construction were considered for
the EAA reservoirs. These include an earthen design for all alternatives
evaluated including the selected plan (Alternative 4), and an RCC design
(Alternative 5). Earthen embankments would be constructed in their entirety
from the materials found on the Project site (limestone layer found under the
cap-rock layer). RCC embankments would be built solely of the processed cap-
rock layer, with the addition of Portland cement and fly ash shipped in from
external sources. The majority of the materials would come from borrow areas
within the reservoir footprint while a small portion would be provided from the
