Sugar Pine Dam
Sugar Pine Dam is an earthfill embankment dam located 7 miles (11 kilometers) north of Foresthill in Placer County, California. It impounds North Shirttail Creek, a tributary of the North Fork American River, and serves as the Foresthill community's primary municipal water supply.
The Sugar Pine Dam Project involved monitoring a zoned earthfill dam that consists of a central clay core and rockfill shell. The project required piezometers to collect some long–term monitoring data.
Encardio Rite, USA, was entrusted to provide the instrumentation and real-time monitoring results for the project.
