The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) has released a Draft Central Valley Flood System Conservation Strategy (Conservation Strategy) for a 60-day public review and comment period.  The Conservation Strategy is a component of the 2017 Central Valley Flood Protection Plan (CVFPP), and outlines a long-term approach to improve riverine and floodplain ecosystems and provides guidance on how multi-benefit projects can provide ecological benefits while protecting public safety.  

The public comment period begins January 23, 2015.  However, additional appendices are undergoing final internal DWR review.  Upon posting of all related appendices, DWR will announce a comment due date to allow a full 60-day review period for the document and all appendices.

The draft document and Appendix L can be accessed here.
