Two New Turnouts on the Chowchilla Bypass

The Madera/Chowchilla Resource Conservation District is overseeing a project to construct two new turnout structures on the Chowchilla Bypass in Madera County, California. These structures are designed to move water to adjacent properties owned by the Samran family. Each turnout will feature a concrete pump box, control box, and fish screen, with additional components including inlet and outlet structures, rip-rap, canal gates, and conveyance piping. The structures will be approximately 60 feet wide with a maximum height of 38 feet. The project is categorized under NAICS code 237310 and is classified as exempt under Class 3 - 15303(d) for the construction of small structures and water conveyance improvements. Specific performance locations include a North Turnout at latitude 36.91467, longitude -120.33340 and a South Turnout at latitude 36.89816, longitude -120.32677. The project was posted as a forecast on July 24, 2026, with Amy Siliznoff and Karun Samran serving as the primary points of contact.
