Natomas Cross Canal Berm and Channel Enhancements Project

The Natomas Cross Canal Berm and Channel Enhancements Project, managed by the Central Valley Flood Protection Board, involves critical infrastructure improvements on the right bank of the Natomas Cross Canal in Sutter County, California. The scope of work focuses on the replacement and enhancement of pump platforms, intake pipes, and the installation of fish screens. Key deliverables include the removal of existing pump platforms and support piles to be replaced with new steel pump platforms and catwalks, the reinstallation of existing pumps, and the replacement of 36-inch and 24-inch intake pipes. Specifically, the project requires the installation of a new pump intake structure and fish screen at the intake end of the existing 24-inch irrigation pipe. This project is identified under solicitation number 2022010387 and falls under NAICS code 237990. It is governed by several permits, including Permit No. 19699, and has been granted categorical exemptions from the California Environmental Quality Act under Sections 15301, 15302, and 15303 of the California Code of Regulations. These exemptions are based on the project involving the maintenance of existing facilities, replacement of structures at the same site with similar capacity, and the construction of small structures with negligible expansion of use. Primary points of contact for the project include Angela Nguyen-Tan of the Central Valley Flood Protection Board and Steve Willey.
