Riverine Habitat Restoration Projects
The Fremont Weir Adult Fish Passage control tower stands above water overtopping the Fremont Weir and entering the Yolo Bypass. Taken February 27, 2024.
The Riverine Habitat Restoration Program is tasked with developing and implementing restoration actions primarily in the Yolo Bypass and Sacramento River basin to support operations of the State Water Project. The focus of the program includes implementing actions described in the 2019 National Marine Fisheries Service Biological Opinion (NMFS BO) for the long-term operation of the State Water Project and Central Valley Project, and the 2020 Incidental Take Permit for the operation of the State Water Project.
Several identified projects are being evaluated and are at various stages of implementation.
