Document Description
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has extended
Streambed Alteration Agreement number 1600-2019-0204-R2, pursuant to section 1605 of the
Fish and Game Code to the project Applicant, the California Department of Water Resources, as
represented by Mary Jimenez.
The extension will extend the project from April 9, 2025, to December 31, 2026. The project will
set back levees protecting the Lower Elkhorn Basin, including the Sacramento Bypass North
Levee and a portion of the Yolo Bypass East Levee, thereby increasing the capacity of the Yolo
and Sacramento Bypasses and reducing flood risk on the upper Yolo Bypass and Sacramento
River. The Project will also implement several ecosystem elements that have been designed to
offset effects to biological resources resulting from LEBLS project activities, through the
enhancement of features for sensitive species.
