Document Description
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has executed Amendment No.1 to
Master Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement number 1600-2021-0005-R4, issued to the California

The Agreement authorizes activities related to stabilizing the downstream side of the existing B.F. Sisk Dam
embankment and increasing the dam crest height to reduce the potential for water to overtop the dam in the event
of seismic-induced slumping/failure. The activities include construction, maintenance, restoration, and water
drafting actions in lake, stream, and associated wetland areas within the larger 1,800-acre area. Amendment No. 1
includes changes to the Subnotification review process and increases the permanent impacts to stream and
associated wetland areas by 0.91 acres to 12.73 acres.
