Yolo Bypass Integrated Project
The Yolo Basin Foundation initiated the Yolo Bypass Working Group in 1998 under a CALFED Ecosystem Restoration Grant. This ad hoc stakeholder group has been very successful and continues to meet approximately every two months. Over 30 people representing a wide range of stakeholders with an interest in the Yolo Bypass regularly attend these meetings. Participants include landowners (farmers, ranchers, duck hunters), Department of Water Resources, State Reclamation Board, State Department of Fish and Game, US Fish and Wildlife Service, State Department of Food and Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service, Dixon and Yolo Resource Conservation Districts, Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency, Yolo County, City of West Sacramento, California Waterfowl Association, Ducks Unlimited, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Weather Service, Sacramento Yolo Mosquito Vector Control District, Port of Sacramento, and others.
Every working group agenda is very full with issues we are tracking as well as new issues as they develop. Current issues that will continue to be topics for the Working Group include improvements to the Sacramento River Flood Control project that include significant proposed changes to the Yolo Bypass, mosquito control including West Nile Virus, the Yolo Wildlife Area Management Plan, anadromous fish issues, water quality, changes in land ownership and land use and habitat restoration activities and opportunities.
The 2000 Governor’s Environmental and Economic Leadership Award was presented to the Yolo Basin Foundation in recognition of the Yolo Bypass Working Group for outstanding contributions in the area of environmental restoration and rehabilitation.
