Title

Cordova Creek Naturalization Project

Description

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife is executing Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement number 2014-0029-R2 pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the project applicant, the County of Sacramento, Department of Water Resources. The project will restore natural form and function to a channelized stream, currently named the Clifton Drain that flows into the American River. The project will fill the existing gunite lined channel and construct a wider meandering channel, which will be called Cordova Creek. The proposed creek will have a natural stream substrate and banks consistent with historical drainage patterns, 4:1 side slopes, and will be planted with 15 acres of diverse riparian wetland and grassland vegetation. An estimated 6500 cubic yards of fill is required to fill the existing concrete channel up to the surrounding grade.
