The dam was proposed in the 1950s as part of the Colorado River Storage Project, a U. S. Bureau of Reclamation ( USBR ) federal water project that would develop reservoir storage on the upper Colorado River and several of its major tributaries.

The United States Bureau of Reclamation ( USBR ), and formerly the United States Reclamation Service ( not to be confused with the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement ), is a federal agency under the U. S. Department of the Interior, which oversees water resource management, specifically as it applies to the oversight and operation of the diversion, delivery, and storage projects that it has built throughout the western United States for irrigation, water supply, and attendant hydroelectric power generation.

On September 13, 2006, after eighteen years of litigation, environmental groups, fisherman and the USBR reached an agreement on releasing part of the water currently diverted into the irrigation canals into the San Joaquin River in order to help restore the river and its native fish and wildlife.

All of the water in the Kings River was already appropriated to local irrigators, many of whom owned more land than the USBR limit.

In a last-ditch effort to secure the Pine Flat project, the USBR revoked its acreage limit from the entirety of the Kings River service area and the Tulare Lake bed.

Six years later, however, the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation ( USBR ), which was responsible for the construction and operations of most CVP facilities, revived the division, which comprised a system of four dams and two tunnels to capture and store the flow of the Trinity and transport it to the Sacramento River, generating a net surplus of hydroelectric power along the way.

In response to declining salmon populations, the USBR built the Trinity River Fish Hatchery.
