Auburn Dam on the American River has influenced discussion of Sacramento-area flood control and water supply for decades. It remains a source of tension. But the dormant dam project, halted by earthquake risk in 1975, stands little chance of being revived. Economic realities are a huge obstacle to any new construction. Tony Firenzi, a project engineer at the Placer County Water Agency, is holding the photograph. Photo from January 26, 2006. Auburn behind an artist's rendering of the original 1965 dam proposal.
