The Crane Valley Dam was built between 1902 and 1911 before much was known about seismic activity and safety.
PG&E has determined that the Crane Valley Dam is susceptilble to seismic activity and developed a retrofit project to address these safety issues.
The retrofit project will begin as soon as the permitting process is complete and is expected to be complete by 2011.
Bass Lake will remain open for all recreational uses year round during the seismic retrofit project.
