Cameron Creek Linear Recharge Project

The Cameron Creek Linear Recharge Project, identified by Lake or Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS-TUL-57209-R4, is an initiative led by the City of Visalia to support future groundwater recharge in Fresno County, California. Executed by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife pursuant to Fish and Game Code section 1602, the project authorizes the construction and operation of three reinforced concrete check structures—specifically the Measurement Check, Rector Check, and Lovers Check—located approximately one mile east of the City of Visalia. These structures will include concrete components, control gates, and weir boards designed to facilitate the impoundment of water within the creek and the diversion of water to an adjacent basin. The project received environmental approval on October 27, 2025, following a determination by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife that the activities would not have a significant environmental effect within its jurisdiction. This approval is contingent upon the implementation of specific mitigation measures and a Mitigation Reporting or Monitoring Plan. Project management is led by Rebecca Keenan for the City of Visalia, with Jackson Powell serving as the environmental scientist for the Department of Fish and Wildlife. The project is classified under NAICS code 237990.
