The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has executed Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement (EPIMS-YOL-41090-R3), pursuant to Fish and Game Code section 1602, to the project Applicant (Liberty Island Holdings II, LLC as represented by Timothy DeGraff).
The 810-acre project will consist of the following actions intended to create habitat for Delta native fish species in the Lower Yolo-Cache Slough area of Yolo County for the purposes of establishing a fish conservation bank.

The construction of each site is organized into the following stages: 1) mobilization, 2) site preparation, 3) levee removal, 4) excavating tidal channels, 5) floodplain lowering, 6) removal of an existing non-functioning water control structure and culvert, 7) vegetation removal/revegetation, and 8) demobilization and clean up.
