- Document Description
- The discretionary approval by CDFW is the issuance of the ITP amendment identified above. The ongoing operations of the State Water Project in the Delta as approved by the lead agency is expected to result in incidental take and impacts to habitat of longfin smelt (Spirinchus thaleichthys) which is designated as a threatened species under CESA. The amendment to the ITP temporarily modifies the project description to allow operation of the Suisun Marsh Salinity Control Gates (SMSCG) in August 2018 based on the tide (i.e., lowered during flood). Boat locks will also be operation to allow navigation and fish passage. The DWR will collect data (such as zooplankton and water quality), which could be used to assess future operations of the SMSCG. The ITP referenced above as issued and amended by CDFW authorizes incidental take of longfin smelt that may occur as a result of ongoing operations of the State Water project facilities, as is more specifically described in the ITP.
