The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has executed Streambed Alteration Agreement number 1600-2018-0177-R2, pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to Daniel Griffith representing the Sycamore Mutual Water Company. The project consists of the excavation of a portion of the east bank of the Colusa Drain to remove a defective 48-inch pipe.

A positive closure device, Waterman C-20 Canal Gate within a 60-inch steel pipe will be installed. The work areas will be isolated by either coffer dams or bladder dams. The work areas will be dewatered for a period of no less than 15 days prior to excavation of the existing pipe and installation of the new pipe.
