Dewatering
The Project Proponent will minimize the potential for California freshwater shrimp to be entrained during dewatering activities. Pump intakes will be placed away from complex vegetated banks that may contain habitat for California freshwater shrimp. Screens will be used during dewatering, in accordance with IWW-6, Dewatering/Diversion, and following CDFW (2001) and NMFS (1997) criteria for fry-sized salmonids (e.g., approach velocity will not exceed 0.33 foot per second in streams).
