Document Description
The California Department of Fish and Game is executing a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement number 1600-2006-0454-R2 pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the project applicant, Yuba County Water Agency. This agreement pertains to the construction of an approximately 11 mile long system of unlined, earth canals and pipelines that will provide approximately 43,000 acre-feet per year of irrigation water to 12,000 acres in Wheatland Water District (WWD), a member district of YCWA. Construction of the project will allow for the delivery of surface water to WWD, which will allow for in-lieu recharge of the Yuba South Groundwater Sub-Basin on which farmers currently rely for irrigation of agricultural lands. Water for the project will be diverted from the Yuba South Main Canal, which is supplied by YCWA's allotted diversion from the Yuba River. Features of the project include 11 miles of water conveyance with two lateral canals, multiple siphon crossings of roads and streams and the construction of two low-head pumping plants and two local distribution systems. Siphon stream crossings include crossings of an unnamed creek, North Hutchinson Creek, South Hutchinson Creek, and Best Slough. The project also includes two five-acre staging areas located in the areas of the proposed pumping plants. An access road will also be constructed along one side of the canal. The project will be constructed through predominantly agricultural lands that have been heavily modified through farming, as described in Notification 1600-2006-0454-R2.
