PROSPECT ISLAND RESTORATION& THE FISH RESTORATION THE FISH RESTORATION PROGRAM AGREEMENT Dan Riordan Department of Water Resources

Source: FWS Source: DWR Aquatic Ecology Source: FWS Source: NOAA Listed Fish Species

DWR Habitat Restoration Requirements  USFWS Delta Smelt Biological Opinion: Restore 8,000 acres of intertidal and associated subtidal habitat  NMFS Salmonid/Sturgeon Biological Opinion: Restore salmonid rearing habitat Enhance existing habitat in Liberty Island and lower Cache Slough  CDFW Longfin Smelt Incidental Take Permit: Restore 800 acres of brackish tidal habitat  DWR Environmental Stewardship Policy: Contribute to the recovery of listed species

Fish Restoration Program Agreement (FRPA) Executed October 2010 Joint DWR and DFW program Fulfill habitat restoration obligations Establishes framework for selecting, funding, implementing and managing restoration projects

Near-term Actions Planned and potential projects Three geographic regions FRPA will support other programs where possible

Cache Slough Complex Existing tidal marsh habitat Connected to Yolo Bypass floodplain Elevations are conducive to tidal habitat restoration Dead-end channels and shallow open water High turbidity High primary and secondary productivity Delta smelt and other native fishes Land in public ownership

Why Prospect? Publicly owned Suitable elevations for tidal marsh and aquatic habitat restoration Desirable location for target fish species

Screening- Level Modeling (completed) Select Alternatives to Advance (in progress) Screening Criteria and Thresholds (completed) Broad Suite of Initial Restoration Alternatives (completed) Prospect Planning Process Restoration objectives Site conditions and setting Opportunities and constraints Outcomes hypotheses Supporting future restorations EIR Permits Construction Management (future) Phase 2 Screening Criteria and Thresholds (in progress) DRERIP Evaluation (completed) Feasibility Reviews (completed) Phase 2 Modeling (in progress) Draft Restoration Plan (in progress)

Design Features Key Breaches Overflow weir Primary channels Secondary branch channels Connecting channels to selected breaches DWR and Port properties Adjacent property access Alternatives to be developed that mix and match these components

Potential CEQA Project Actions 1.Breach levees 2.Install weir(s) 3.Excavate channels within Prospect Island 4.Place excavated soils within Prospect Island 5.Import clean, suitable sediment from off-site sources 6.Address adjacent property access 7.Control invasive species 8.Reinforce levees
