Document Description
The Project aims to enhance fish passage at the Arroyo Canal and Sack Dam facilities on the San Joaquin River, prevent the entrainment of anadromous fish, and ensure effective fish passage at Sack Dam. The Project includes the following: (1) construction of a fish screen; (2) construction of a new 4,500 cubic feet per second channel around Sack Dam; (3) installation of new structures to control flow releases into the river channel; (4) construction of a fishway to provide salmonid passage; and (5) construction of a new maintenance building. Additionally, the Project will require the replacement of existing Pacific Gas and Electric Company gas and power lines. The State Lands Commission action is approval of a 20-year General Lease – Right-of-Way Use through December 16, 2045.
