Summary: | The SDIP is a joint California Department of Water Resources (DWR) and Reclamation project that contains elements of the CALFED Record of Decision for long-term comprehensive actions to restore the ecological health and improve water management of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Bay-Delta system. The major components of the project are: (1) increasing water supplies for water contractors and improving the operational flexibility of the State Water Project by increasing the diversions through Clifton Court Forebay from 6,680 cfs to 8,500 cfs; (2) constructing three permanent operable barriers to improve existing water level and circulation patterns for south Delta agricultural diverters; and (3) constructing a permanent operable fish control barrier at the head of Old River to reduce the downstream movement of the San Joaquin River watershed Central Valley fall-/late-fall run Chinook salmon into the south Delta via the head of Old River; (4) dredging local channels in the south Delta to improve conveyance and dredge areas surrounding agricultural diversions to improve function; (5) the extension of up to 24 shallow agricultural intake facilities to improve function; and (6) implementation of an interim operations regime between December 15-March 15 until the permanent barriers are fully operable. |
