South Sacramento County Streams Morrison Creek-Union Pacific Railroad Project

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has executed Amendment 1 to Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification Number SAC-57886-R2 for the Sweeney Ranch Pump Station project. This project, led by the Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency, is located at an intermittent ditch tributary to Morrison Creek in Sacramento County, California, specifically at coordinates 38.45080, -121.49082. The amendment was executed pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code and was finalized on November 25, 2025. The primary scope of this amendment involves the removal of one valley oak tree with a canopy acreage of 0.12 acre due to its proximity to ground activities. To mitigate this removal, the permittee is required to perform 0.24 acres of habitat restoration. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has determined that the project will not have a significant environmental effect within its jurisdiction, provided that all mandated mitigation measures are followed as a condition of approval. Primary points of contact for the project include Daniel Tibbitts of the Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency and Harvey Tran of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
