Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area Habitat and Drainage Improvements Project

Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area Habitat and Drainage Improvements Project

The proposed project includes five major improvements, identified as project components, that are being proposed to enhance the CDFW ability to manage wetland resources and agricultural operations within the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area. Specific improvements include installing new water control structures, expanding canals, installing box culverts and two con-span bridges, replacing existing culverts, raising road grades, separating dual function ditches, relocating an existing water pump, and installing two new pumps. This addendum is to address modifications to the original project that were a result of a change in flooding and drainage flow patterns and to reduce long term cost and impacts. Four of the five elements of the MND have been completed but one element will not be completed. Element 4, the cross canal pump station will not be built, and it will be replaced by passive structures to drain water from the YBWA. Additional description of the modifications to meet the objectives of the pump are described below.
