The dam is on the outlet of the San Carlos Reservoir on the Gila River approximately 31 miles southeast of Globe, AZ. The dam is accessed via BIA Route 3 which runs south out of Peridot, AZ, which is approximately 20 miles east of Globe, AZ.

The existing downstream, dual high-pressure slide gates have suffered long term operation problems. The oil hydraulic operating machinery for these gates all require upgrades. A new control building will also be added to operate the gates as well as other monitoring functions. Dredging of the reservoir immediately in front of the intakes, to remove years of accumulated shotcrete debris from the dam domes, will be required to unblock the flow entrances to the towers. Design, supply and installation of two new, electrically operated isolation 96 in. diameter butterfly valves, fittings and couplings to connect them to the existing steel conduits. One new hydraulic power unit (HPU) system, complete to replace the two existing problematic HPU’s to operate the 4 existing hydraulically operated bonneted slide gates. New electrical local and remote control system for the four (4) existing hydraulically operated bonneted slide gates. Underwater installation and removal of a new, temporary isolation bulkhead to permit dewatering of the low level conduits in support of the construction. Dredging, removal and disposal of gunite debris (from old dam dome coating) now submerged in the reservoir and impinging on the outlet tower entrances. Will require underwater work. Demolition of two off-site wood framed house structures. Demolition of a section of the two existing low level conduits for the addition of the new butterfly isolation valves and modifications to the existing valve vaults to suit. Repainting of the full length of the two existing low level conduits.
