The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has executed Master Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement number 1600-2021-0005-R4, pursuant to section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the project Applicant, California Department of Water Resources. The Project includes activities related to stabilizing the downstream side of the existing B.F.

The activities include construction, maintenance, restoration, and water drafting actions in lake, stream, and associated wetland areas within the larger 1,800-acre area. An activity location in a lake, stream, or associated wetland may be situated within a larger area of work.
