Mendota Pool Bypass and Reach 2B Improvement Project

Mendota Pool Bypass and Reach 2B Improvement Project

Note: Lead Agency changed from DWR to SLC. The Mendota Pool Bypass and Reach 2B Improvements Project is a component of Phase 1 of the San Joaquin River Restoration Program which seeks to restore flows to the San Joaquin River from Friant Dam to the confluence of the Merced River, and restore a self-sustaining Chinook salmon fishery in the river while reducing or avoiding adverse water supply impacts associated with restoration flows. The Project includes the construction, operation, and maintenance of the Mendota Pool Bypass and improvements in the San Joaquin River channel in Reach 2B to achieve these restoration and water management goals.
