Document Description
The proposed project would restore the design flood conveyance capacity along an approximately nine-mile-long reach of Cache Creek by removing sediment along with vegetation and slightly raising levee elevations at selected locations. The proposed project is located in unincorporated Yolo County near the Town of Yolo, approximately two miles north of the City of Woodland and about 4.5 miles west of the Sacramento River, in Yolo County. The upstream end of the project reach is approximately 1.6 miles west of the I-5 bridge crossing over the creek. The downstream end of the project reach is at the terminus of a training levee where the channel extends into the Cache Creek Settling Basin. The proposed project would restore the original design flow and freeboard within the leveed area of Cache Creek. Specifically, DWR is proposing to: 1) remove sediment and vegetation from the channel; and, 2) slightly raise existing levee elevations. The overall schedule for construction of the proposed project is anticipated to begin in 2026, at the earliest, and proceed over two years.
