Tule Red Tidal Restoration Project

This proposed project involves the ongoing operation and maintenance of publicly and privately owned Suisun Marsh diked managed wetlands, levees, water control infrastructure and water conveyance facilities. There are fourteen specific elements of the project including managed wetland unscreened diversions, replacing and placing new rip rap on exterior levees, dredging tidal slough to maintain levees and installing fish screen facilities. Project will result in temporary impacts to 20 acres of Spring-run Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), Winter-run Chinook Salmon (O. tshawytscha), Delta Smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus), and Longfin Smelt (Spirinchus thaleichthys) habitat. The project is expected to result in incidental take of Delta Smelt and Winter-run Chinook Salmon, which are designated as endangered species under CESA. The project is expected to result in incidental take of Longfin Smelt and Spring-run Chinook Salmon, which are designated as endangered species under CESA.
