Permit No. 19687 – North Delta Fish Conservation Bank

Permit No. 19687 authorizes the North Delta Fish Conservation Bank Phase 2 project within the Yolo Bypass in California, focusing on the restoration and enhancement of approximately 811 acres of habitat for native Delta fish species. The project involves lowering 4,500 linear feet of east-west drainage and irrigation berms to an elevation of 5.1 feet NAVD 88, excavating three subtidal breaches and channels along the northern edge of the bank, widening an existing breach to improve tidal connectivity, lowering a 20-acre floodplain to establish a tidal emergent marsh, removing a water control structure and culvert, controlling invasive aquatic weeds, and revegetating and protecting tule marsh and riparian zones. This work is conducted under California Code of Regulations, Title 23, Article 3, Section 6, as part of an adopted flood control plan and complies with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) through the adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration. The project is managed by Reclamation District 2093 in coordination with the Central Valley Flood Protection Board and is executed by Liberty Island Holdings II, LLC as the applicant. Key contacts include Erik Vink of Trust for Public Land as the primary point of contact, Jordan Robbins of the Central Valley Flood Protection Board as a senior environmental specialist, and Kyrsten Shields as the Regulatory Director. The place of performance is located approximately three miles southwest of Courtland Road and Ryer Avenue in Yolo County, California, with coordinates at 38.32547° N, 121.68034° W. While the project was approved on August 21, 2025, and publicly posted on August 25, 2025, no contract value, pricing data, or federal acquisition regulations (FAR) clauses are included, as this is a state-level environmental mitigation initiative rather than a federal procurement. No formal delivery schedule, payment details, invoicing mechanisms, accounting codes, or subcontracting requirements are specified, and the process is regulatory and compliance-driven rather than competitive. Inspection and acceptance are determined on-site by the government agency based on adherence to the approved plan and CEQA mitigation measures, with no traditional contract administration provisions such as COR/COTR designations or performance incentives formally outlined.
