Marc Commandatore Environmental Program Manager I, California Department of Water Resources, Division Subject: March 5, 2019: SPECIAL MEETING- City Council, /Lincoln Redevelopment Successor Agency /Lincoln Public Financing Authority WORK: SESSION- - Agenda Item #4- U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Project McBean Parkway below The California Department of Water Resources' Riverine Stewardship Program (RSP) is supportive ofi improving native fish habitat in Placer County on Auburn Ravine. Since 2016 the RSP has been involved in scientific and engineering assessments of native fish migration on Auburn Ravine. The RSP sees great value in projects that eliminate migration barriers to native fish and connect the floodplain to the ravine and are consistent with the Central Valley Flood Protection Plan. The RSP sees the US Fish and Wildlife's restoration proposal before City Council on March 5, 2019 Therefore, the California Department of Water Resources' Riverine Stewardship Program supports the US Fish and Widlifesrestoration proposal to reconnect the floodplain at McBean Parkway below Highway 193. This project will allow water to connect to the seasonal floodplain during high water events and for the water to recede back into the ravine without blocking fish migration. This allows fish to enter this area to take advantage of feeding opportunities and provides a way for the fish to safely return to the ravine to complete their migration to the Pacific Ocean. Finally, the project provides a unique opportunity for the citizens of Lincoln to see firsthand the value that  of Integrated Regional Water Management, Chief Riverine Ecosystem Section  Highway 193 Dear Councilmembers:  providing such multi-benefits.
