Overview
The Interlake Tunnel Project (Interlake Tunnel) was included in the July 1991 Water Facilities Capital Plan (Volume I, Volume II), prepared by Boyle Engineering Corporation for the Monterey County Water Resources Agency (MCWRA). Operationally, the Interlake Tunnel would divert water from Nacimiento Reservoir to San Antonio Reservoir that would have otherwise been spilled at Nacimiento Dam. The Nacimiento River basin produces nearly three times the average annual flow of the San Antonio River basin, therefore, capturing high Nacimiento River flows and diverting those flows to San Antonio Reservoir increases the overall storage capacity of the system.[1]
