Title: Meridian Farms Water Company Fish Screen Project
Description: The California Department of Fish and Game is executing Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement number 1600-2008-0010-R2, pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game to the project applicant, Meridian Farms Water Company, 530-696-2456. MFWC is proposing a two phased program to consolidate three existing surface water diversions into two diversions along the Sacramento River in the vicinity of the Town of Grimes and Meridian, Sutter County. The two new water diversions would be equipped with positive barrier fish screens to prevent entrainment of migrating, at-risk, native fish species. Due to the consolidation, the proposed project also includes phased conveyance system improvements to accommodate water delivery to two diversions instead of three. The proposed project will not increase MFWC's overall diversion capacity from the Sacramento River. Once the new diversions are completed at Meridian and Grimes site locations, the existing diversions at Meridian, Drexler, and Grimes will be removed during their respective phases and in compliance with Reclamation Board, California Department of Fish and Game, National Marine Fisheries Service, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service requirements.
