The dam and reservoir lie in the Sierra Nevada foothills mostly in San Joaquin County. It also has a power station capable of generating 10.7 megawatts. Camanche is owned and operated by the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD).The dam impounds Camanche Reservoir, which has a capacity of 431,000 acre feet (0.532 km3). The flood control reservation, which can be shared with Pardee Dam just upstream, is 200,000 acre feet (0.25 km3). Since its completion in 1963, the dam has been instrumental in preventing catastrophic flooding on the Mokelumne River. The Christmas flood of 1964 would likely have caused millions of dollars in damage had the dam not been in place, but instead damages were limited to just a few thousand.The lake has over 7,700 acres (3,100 ha) of water and 56 miles (90 km) of shoreline at full pool. EBMUD has leased the reservoir to the Camanche Regional Park District, which has extensively developed it for recreation.Prior to the construction of Camanche Dam, acid mine drainage from a closed copper mine, the Penn Mine northwest of Valley Springs, heavily polluted the Mokelumne River. EBMUD and the state's Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board attempted to solve the flow of acid mine drainage into the reservoir and river, but their efforts led higher concentrations of acid mine drainage and continued fish kills in the Mokelumne. After a series of lawsuits, EBMUD and the state funded a $10 million remediation of the site. It was completed in 1999."@en }
