Yolo Bypass Management Strategy

Management Strategy Files

The Yolo Bypass Management Strategy (Management Strategy) presents a locally based concept for the future of the Yolo Bypass (Bypass). A Framework for the Future: The Management Strategy is the culmination of a stakeholder-based project funded by the CALFED Bay-Delta Program (CALFED).

Chapter 1 presents general information about the location of the project area, background about the project process, and descriptions of past and present projects that are related to the Bypass.

Chapter 2 presents a description of existing conditions in the Bypass, with an emphasis on existing land and water uses and historic and recent flood flow and low-flow hydrologic data.

Chapter 3 describes several “assurances” and related issues that landowners need addressed to feel more comfortable about considering habitat-related land use changes in the Bypass.

Chapter 4 presents a set of realistic habitat recommendations prepared by the Yolo Bypass Working Group (Working Group), including an analysis of habitat benefits, ways in which such ideas could match with CALFED’s targets and actions, and constraints that could prevent implementation of such recommendations. Chapter 5 presents conclusions and recommendations of several technical studies that will likely be necessary to achieve future implementation of potential habitat enhancement ideas.
