PARADISE CUT EXPANSION WORKSHOP

The San Joaquin County Resource Conservation District is working with American Rivers, the South Delta Water Agency, and other partners to explore expansion of the Paradise Cut Bypass to improve flood protection and enhance habitat, as well as address downstream impacts from Bypass expansion. In response to local agency input, the project has expanded in recent years to include downstream channel restoration for water supply reliability and environmental restoration. The addition of channel restoration is critical to maintain local support for the overall effort. 

Attend the meeting to learn and provide feedback on the following questions: 

• What is the Paradise Cut Expansion & South Delta Restoration Project?
• What strategies are needed to minimize negative hydraulic impacts and improve downstream outcomes?
• What studies do you think are important to ensure the project achieves its intended objectives?
