Document Description
Fremont Weir has been a vital component of the Sacramento River Flood Control System. The weir's primary purposes is to divert excess floodwaters out of the Sacramento River, Sutter Bypass and Feather River into the Yolo Bypass. Fremont Weir is a nearly two-mile long overflow structure on the right bank of the Sacramento just upstream of its confluence with the Feather River.
This project will relocated the Fremont Stage Gage approximately 40 feet down stream of its current location on the right bank of the Sacramento River (river mile 83.9), Yolo County, California. This site was damaged by storms in the winter of 2005/2006. Erosion occurred to the waterside of the Sacramento River levee which is compromising the gage's integrity.
