Document Description
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has executed
Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification Number YUB-56194-R2, pursuant to
section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the project Applicant, Yuba County Water Agency.
Yuba County Water Agency (YCWA) is investigating the feasibility of constructing a nature-like
fishway (NLF) at Daguerre Point Dam to improve fish passage on the lower Yuba River while
maintaining present water supply and hydraulic debris retention functions of the dam and
impoundment. Specifically, YCWA is proposing to complete a site investigation program to
provide surface and subsurface geological information for planning and preliminary design of the
proposed NLF at Daguerre Point Dam. The Daguerre Point Dam NLF Site Investigations
Program (Proposed Project) includes drilling and testing, and excavation of three test pits. The
surface and sub-surface information gathered from this work would provide sufficient sitespecific data to assist in determining the feasibility of the NLF.
