Toadtown development & DeSabla Regional Bundle

Up to 125 cu ft/s (3.5 m³/s) of the West Branch is diverted to the 8.66 mi (13.94 km) Hendricks Canal of the Toadtown development, and the Magalia 73 Dam conveys water via a sequence of DeSabla Regional Bundle facilities from the Upper Miocene Canal to Kunkle Reservoir (Lime Saddle Powerhouse near Lake Oroville), then via the Middle Miocene Canal to the Coal Canyon Powerhouse, and then to the Oroville-Thermalito Complex.
