The District is proposing to extend the apron from its existing 16 foot length downstream of the dam toe to a point about 60 feet downstream. The extended apron would be placed across the entire 450 foot width of the dam and include a new cutoff wall at the downstream end. The project also includes installation of a grade control structure approximately 150 feet downstream of the dam that is designed to protect the dam from the potential advance of downstream erosion and the long-term streambed degradation of Cache Creek. This Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) has been prepared to identify and assess the anticipated environmental effects of the proposed project. The District, as the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) lead agency, has determined that a Mitigated Negative Declaration is the appropriate environmental document for the proposed project. CEQA Requirements This document has been prepared to satisfy the requirements of the CEQA (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) and the State CEQA Guidelines (14 California Code of Regulations [CCR] 15000 et seq.). CEQA requires that all state and local government agencies consider the environmental consequences of projects over which they have discretionary authority before they approve or implement those projects. The Initial Study is a public document used by the District, acting as lead agency, to determine whether a proposed project may have a significant effect on the environment. If the District finds substantial evidence that any aspect of the project, either alone or in combination with other projects, may have a significant effect on the environment, the District is required to prepare an environmental impact report (EIR), a supplement to a previously prepared EIR, or a subsequent EIR to analyze the project at hand. If the District finds no substantial evidence that the project or any of its aspects may cause a significant impact on the environment, a negative declaration may be prepared. If, over the course of the analysis, the project is found to have a significant impact on the environment that, with specific mitigation measures, can be reduced to a less-than-significant level, a mitigated negative declaration may be prepared. Capay Dam Apron Replacement Project 1-1 ESA/208607 Draft IS/MND May 2009 Capay Dam Apron Replacement Project Responsible Agencies, Permits, and Approvals Table 1-1 summarizes the potential permits and/or approvals that may be required prior to construction of the proposed project. Additional local approvals and permits may be required. TABLE 1-1 REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS, PERMITS, AND AUTHORIZATIONS FOR PROJECT FACILITIES Agency Type of Approval Federal Agencies U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 404 Clean Water Act Permit State Agencies Regional Water Quality Control Board NPDES General Permit for Stormwater Discharge Associated with Construction Activities; 401Certification California Department of Fish and Game Streambed Alteration Agreement Local Agencies Yolo County Grading Permit Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District Authority to Construct Project Location, Setting, and Existing Facilities The District is located in Western Yolo County and is bordered by Solano County to the South (Figure 1-1). The District service area encompasses a large portion of unincorporated western Yolo County and the cities of Woodland, Davis, and Winters, and the towns of Capay, Esparto, and Madison. The District delivers water stored in Clear Lake and Indian Valley Reservoir in Lake County for agricultural and municipal uses in Yolo County. Indian Valley Reservoir was constructed by the District and is located on the north fork of Cache Creek. Most of the water delivered is conveyed down Cache Creek and diverted out of the creek channel at Capay Dam. The Dam serves as the headworks for over 160 miles of irrigation canals within the District’s 195,000-acre jurisdiction. Typically the District delivers about 150,000 acre feet of water to about 55,000 acres of agricultural lands. The District’s Cache Creek water system is completely gravity-dependent and does not include any pumping facilities. The Capay Dam was built by the Yolo Water & Power Company in 1915. Water released from Clear Lake and Indian Valley Reservoir is diverted into the West Adams and the Winters canals at the Capay Diversion Dam, which are located to the north and south, respectively, of the dam. The Winters and West Adams canals feed the entire canal system. Figure 1-2 shows the extent of project study area, including the location of the Capay Dam and the grade control structure. The Capay Dam is used to divert water only during the irrigation season. Other times of the year water flowing down Cache Creek flows over the dam or through sluice gates without obstruction. During the irrigation season, typically mid April through early September, an inflatable bladder fitted to the top of the dam is filled, causing water to be ponded upsteam of the dam to a sufficient depth to flow through the canal headgates. Historically this ponding was achieved by installing flash boards on the top of the dam. The inflatable bladder was installed as a more efficient and safer method for managing the pond waters.

  • John M. Rhodes' Sacramento City Bank & the Rhodes Expresses
    Western Express September, 2014 Hard Luck Enterprises - John M. Rhodes' Sacramento City Bank & The Rhodes Expresses By James Blaine AUTHOR’S PREFACE Ohioan John Milton Rhodes was a visionary individual who journeyed to California at the beginning of the Gold Rush, not to pan for or to dig the precious metal, but to found a bank which invariably came to be linked to the fruits of the miners who toiled to extract the riches from the region known as the "Northwestern Mines." While he never personally packed treasure-laden mules from the mines to the base towns, or distributed letters from home to anxious miners in "the diggins," John M. Rhodes' pioneer banking venture was the catalyst which eventually drew two of his brothers, James Mason Rhodes and George Washington Rhodes, as well as his uncle, Jesse Rhodes, to California. James or Uncle Jesse became the principals in the successive enterprises known as: 1) Rhodes & Lusk's Express; 2) Jas. M. Rhodes' Express / Rhodes & Co.'s Express; 3) Rhodes & Whitney's Express; and finally, 4) (Jesse) Rhodes & Co. 's Express. In the end, a cascade of events which, had they been compressed into a time-span of shorter duration could be termed "a perfect storm," overtook John M. Rhodes and his kinsmen, resulting in the demise of the last in the chain of the Rhodes Expresses, and the failure of the banking house which had nurtured them from their inception. Decades later, John recollected that: Figure 1. John M.

    JULY-SEPTEMBER 2020 - THE GREATER CAPAY VALLEY HISTORICAL SOCIETY - ELIZABETH MONROE The Historic Duncan Family of DUNCAN CLAN OF THE HISTORIC FOCUS ON GUINDA: Yolo County CAPAY VALLEY ROBBINS FAMILY OF THE TOWN AND THE GUINDA PEOPLE At left is Wyatt Godfrey “Doc” Duncan with his son Wyatt, Jr., in about 1900. Twenty year old “Doc” came to California with his 12 year old kid brother Bill in 1850 on a cattle drive from southwest Missouri, indentured to Doc E.C. Lane. They came for the lure of gold, but finding little in Mud Springs (now named El Dorado), they ventured out to find land to farm and ranch, ending up in the Capay Valley and Hungry Hollow farmland north of the town of Capay in about 1853. Eventually, they were joined by 4 other siblings, all of whom settled in Yolo County, and through intermarriage with other early pioneers and their descendants, created a tangled web of cousins, mostly west of Woodland. The Duncan families of the Capay area would eventually own about 10,000 acres between them in and around the historic town of Capay, help build the schools and the railroad depots and make their way into the various histories written about this historic county. Doc Duncan’s daughter, Elvira Grey, would marry another pioneer descendant: James William Monroe of Buckeye near Winters, who would go on to be sheriff of the county for 28 years, followed by their eldest son, Forrest Duncan Monroe, between them serving 60 consecutive years as sheriff. The county jail is named Monroe Detention Center in their honor.

  • F-5: Historical/Architectural Survey Report
    F-5: Historical/Architectural Survey Report April 2009 PG&E Line 406/407 Natural Gas Pipeline Draft EIR HISTORIC ARCHITECTURAL SURVEY REPORT AND FINDING OF EFFECT FOR THE PG&E LINES 406 AND 407 PIPELINE PROJECT IN PLACER, SACRAMENTO, SUTTER AND YOLO COUNTIES, CALIFORNIA October 2008 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS The Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is proposing to construct and operate multiple natural gas transmission pipelines and a new distribution feeder main that cross California’s Central Valley in Placer, Sacramento, Sutter and Yolo counties (see Appendix A, Maps 1 and 2). There are also eight alternative route areas (see Appendix A, Map 3). The PG&E Lines 406 and 407 Pipeline Project (Project) would run below ground, from Esparto in Yolo county to the west, then east to Roseville in Placer county. Project construction would involve a combination of conventional trenching, horizontal directional drilling (HDD) and hammer boring. The California State Lands Commission (CSLC) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) are co-lead agencies for the Project. There is Federal involvement because the pipelines are proposed to go through wetland areas and therefore section 404 permitting is required. This Historic Architectural Survey Report (HASR) was prepared so that the USACE can comply with section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (36 CFR Part 800 et seq.). Properties located within the Project area that are greater than 45 years of age were identified. These previously unevaluated properties were evaluated for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). This document also addressed compliance under California state law for the proposed Project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) guidelines at Title 14 California Code of Regulations (CCR) §15064.5 and Public Resources Code (PRC) 5024, using the criteria for inclusion in the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR).

These immigrants came to rural northern California as underclass agricultural workers, but, in the last 2 decades, have risen rapidly to political power through participation in the school board and various political, economic, and social institutions. A central tenet of the book is that the adjustment of immigrants depends largely upon their recognition of their own worth and potential contributions to American society. In this context, schoolL have special responsibilities: transmitting American cultural values that hold society together, and at the same time helping culturally diverse students pursue their own genuine ethnohistories. The success of Mexican Americans in Woodland is viewed as proof that the maintenance of the home language and culture produces strong Americans committed to a common good, the education of all.
