YUBA COUNTY
California is working with local, and federal agencies to repopulate the North Yuba River with native fish
Governor Gavin Newsom announced a new historic agreement to help return spring-run Chinook salmon and other native fish species to their historic habitats
in the Yuba River was signed today. The collaborative partnership between the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), Yuba Water Agency, and
NOAA Fisheries, will allow salmon, to access miles of habitat in the Lower Yuba River and North Yuba River not accessible for more than 100 years.
“In California, we are happy to see that the federal administration is on board with our strategyto safeguard our precious ecosystems,” Gov. Newsom said.
The agreement between the state, local, and federal agencies, known as the Yuba River Resilience Initiative (Initiative), was first announced as a framework agreement in May 2023. California is investing $30 million into the initiative, This investment is part of an initial funding plan that includes $60 million between the partners.
“When state, local, and federal partners come together to support native fish and watersheds, we see powerful results,” said CDFW Director Charlton ‘Chuck’ Bonham. “Together, these actions will help us fight challenges to fish health and repopulation in the Yuba River.
Key action items:
Construction of a new nature-like fishway – a channel resembling a natural river that salmon, steelhead, sturgeon and lamprey can use to reach more than
10 miles of important spawning habitat.
Construction of a modernized water diversion at Daguerre Point Dam to supply irrigation water south of the lower Yuba River. This will help protect fish
passing the intake. This will preserve critical water deliveries for local agricultural interests.
A comprehensive reintroduction program that will support recovery efforts of spring-run Chinook salmon and help return them to their original habitat in the North Yuba River above New Bullards Bar Reservoir.

Support recovery efforts of spring-run Chinook salmon and help return them to their original habitat in the North Yuba River above New Bullards Bar Reservoir.
The Daguerre Point Dam, one of two federal dams built on the Yuba River allows only for very limited passage for fish. The creation of the fishway and the modernized water diversion will ensure a safe route around the dam, allowing native fish species to access waterways previously blocked.
Repopulation efforts of spring-run Chinook salmon in their ancestral habitats. Adaptive management and monitoring will be a key aspect of the Reintroduction Program, to ensure flexibility and accountability in meeting the needs of native fish and habitats.
Construction of the fishway is anticipated to begin in early 2026.
