Temperance Flat Dam is a proposed dam project on the San Joaquin River west of Auberry, California. Construction of the dam is on hold. The dam's main purpose would be to supplement storage capacity in the upper San Joaquin River basin. Under the current proposal, Temperance Flat would slightly more than double water storage on the San Joaquin River from below Friant Dam. The project is highly controversial because it would flood scenic canyons and historic sites along the San Joaquin River, and impact upstream hydroelectricity generation. The Bureau of Reclamation estimates the construction costs will be between US$2.5 billion and $2.6 billion, while other estimates range from $2.96 billion up to $3.35 billion. At 665 feet (203 m), Temperance Flat Dam would be the second highest dam in California, and the fifth tallest dam in the United States.On February 28, 2014, Representative Jim Costa (D-CA) introduced H.R. 4127, to authorize construction of the Temperance Flat Dam. The Bureau of Reclamation released a draft environmental impact statement for the project in September 2014. The dam was one of three major storage projects funded by a $7.5 billion water bond passed in November 2014. Of the $7.5 billion bond, $2.7 billion was to be reserved for the three projects with an estimated $1.25 billion going to fund the Temperance Flat Dam. As of 2020, construction of the dam was put on indefinite hold due to cost and conservation concerns.
