Deer Creek Irrigation District Deer Creek Flow Enhancement Project

Note: Extended Review to end on July 9, 2010. The proposed project is a component of the Conceptual Framework for the DCFEP. The project is the implementation of Phase One of the Memorandum of Agreement between DCID, Northern Region DWR, and California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) for the construction, operation, maintenance and monitoring of a flow enhancement program on Deer Creek. Phase One of DWR's Conceptual Framework for the DCFEP is a water exchange project intended to provide salmonid passage flows for adult spawners and out-migrant young in Deer Creek. Specifically, Phase One includes: 1) Bypassing 10 cfs of surface water from Deer Creek during critical migration periods 2) installation of two groundwater supply wells or retrofit of two existing wells for irrigation purposes and 3) Deer Creek Annual Monitoring Program (DCAMP).
