Solano County staff penned a letter to the California Department of Water Resources asking for changes to the Public Review Draft of the Yolo Bypass Cache Slough Master Plan. The letter is included as part of the agenda packet for the Tuesday meeting of the Solano County Board of Supervisors. “While improvements have been made, Solano County maintains several critical concerns about the Public Review Draft,” the letter reads. “We respectfully request additional revisions to better align the Master Plan with regional priorities for flood protection, agricultural sustainability, water supply reliability, and local economic resilience.” Having already been awarded $5.1 million for the improvements to the water system, the county is now asking for $15 million more in state funding to construct more levees over the next five years.
