### SAN JOAQUIN AREA FLOOD CONTROL AGENCY LOWER SAN JOAQUIN RIVER PROJECT

This 23-mile levee improvement project addresses significant flood risks in north and central Stockton. It encompasses 262 critical infrastructure sites, 12 of which are considered essential to life safety. Construction for the various phases is scheduled to commence between 2028 and 2035, with overall project completion anticipated by 2037. 

> **What Inspired Us:   
> ***Effective flood protection is essential to protecting life, property, and the environment. We want to do our part to safeguard our communities against flood frequency and intensity.* 

### SACRAMENTO AREA SEWER DISTRICT HARVEST WATER PROGRAM

This is California’s largest agricultural water recycling project, aimed at providing reliable, high-quality recycled water to agricultural lands and existing habitats in southern Sacramento County. The project will include a new pumping station, 42 miles of new pipeline, and service connections. The system is anticipated to be operational in 2027. 

> **What Inspired Us:   
> ***This is a landmark water recycling project. BRI is honored to be part of this effort to facilitate groundwater recovery, boost sustainable agriculture and strengthen local habitats.*   

### EL DORADO IRRIGATION DISTRICT SLY PARK INTERTIE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT

The Sly Park Intertie pipeline is a critical component for water supply transmission and reliability. It has been inoperative since 2013 due to leaks caused by advanced and extensive corrosion. This project will facilitate delivery throughout El Dorado Irrigation District’s service area while providing operational flexibility and improved reliability. 

> **What Inspired Us:   
> ***Given the escalating threat of wildfire and severe drought conditions, maintaining access to water supplies throughout the state is vital.* 

### Friant Water Authority (FWA) Friant-Kern Canal Subsidence Correction Project

The project will involve both canal section rehabilitation and modification in addition to construction of a parallel canal throughout a 22-mile long portion of the existing canal, focusing on the areas most impacted most by subsidence. The purpose of the project is to correct subsidence impacts, particularly in the southern portion of the canal. BRI was involved throughout the planning phase and minimized project impacts to surrounding parcels.

> **What Inspired Us:   
> **Enabling the safe delivery of high-quality, dependable water to agricultural land, farms, and the communities that feed the country.  

### Citrus Heights Water District (CHWD) District-Wide Land Rights Inventory Project

The District-Wide Land Rights Project was conceived and designed to ensure all water facilities and operations were protected. BRI first conducted a thorough inventory of existing easements provided by CHWD to expose gaps in land rights coverage. We researched the gaps to identify any easements, public utility easements and verified facilities within existing public right of ways. BRI was responsible for the land rights inventory and research phases, as well as subsequent acquisition and GIS indexing.

> **What Inspired Us:   
> **BRI was uniquely positioned for this project by having unmatched land rights experience and expertise in conducting land rights research, interpreting legal descriptions, and plotting easement boundaries for GIS spatial data creation.

### Delta Conveyance Design and Construction Authority State Water Project

The project will construct one or two large, four-story tall tunnels to carry freshwater from the Sacramento River under the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta toward southern intake stations. This is the largest water project in the state and the construction and operation of the project will depend on the acquisition of land rights for permanent and temporary use from up to 300 properties.

> **What Inspired Us:   
> **To establish a stronger water delivery infrastructure for California and the 25 million people depending on clean water.
