Knights Landing Flood Management Project

The Knights Landing Flood Management Project, specifically Minor Alteration No. WA2026081, involves the relocation of two existing utility poles and their associated anchors. The project is located in Yolo County along the right bank of the Colusa Basin Drainage Canal and the Sacramento River at Knights Landing. The primary objective is to move these assets more than 10 feet away from the new toe of the levee and entirely out of the levee easement. All resulting voids must be backfilled using controlled low strength material in compliance with California Code of Regulations Title 23, Waters, Division 1 standards. The project was approved by the Central Valley Flood Protection Board on June 30, 2026, under California Code of Regulations Title 23, Article 3, Section 6 for work within an adopted plan of flood control. Based on a Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared by the lead agency, Yolo County, the Board determined that the project will not have a significant environmental effect within its jurisdiction. Key personnel managing the project include Jennifer Calles from the Central Valley Flood Protection Board, Sarah Carter as Project Manager for PG&E, and Casey Liebler as the Natural Resources Planner for Yolo County.
