Fish Salvage in State Water Project and Central Valley Project - California

Description

Two fish protective facilities reduce fish losses associated with water export by the federal Central Valley Project (CVP) and California’s State Water Project (SWP). The CVP’s Tracy Fish Collection Facility (TFCF) and the SWP’s Skinner Delta Fish Protective Facility (SDFPF) salvage fish (fish are removed from exported water and released back to the Delta) from water exported from the southern end of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta located in Byron, California. Both facilities use louver-bypass systems to divert fish from the exported water. The salvaged fish are periodically loaded into tanker trucks and transported to fixed release sites in the western Delta. Export and salvage operations began in 1957 at the TFCF and in 1968 at the SDFPF. This data and metadata were submitted by California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Staff though the Data Management Plan (DMP) framework with the id: DMP000582.
