Tule Canal Fish Passage Improvement

The Tule Canal Fish Passage Improvement project, managed by the California Wildlife Conservation Board under Project Tracker ID 2025112, involves the installation of a bridge to replace an existing water impoundment and low water crossing. Located in Yolo County approximately one mile west of West Sacramento, the project aims to remove a partial fish passage barrier to benefit white sturgeon and state listed salmonids. The scope of work is designed to promote the restoration and protection of habitat for fish, plants, and wildlife, with land alterations restricted to an area not exceeding five acres. The project is classified as a forecast with NAICS code 237310 and is designated as a Categorical Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act. Specifically, it adheres to California Code of Regulations title 14, sections 15301, 15304, and 15333, as it replaces a deteriorated structure and constitutes a minor land alteration. Administrative oversight is provided by Rebecca Fris, the Deputy Executive Director of the Wildlife Conservation Board.
