State Wild and Scenic River
Cache Creek was added to California's Wild and Scenic Rivers System in October, 2005 which protects 31 miles (50 km) of the river from construction of new dams or diversions. Assembly member Lois Wolk introduced AB 1328 in 2005 which received support as well as opposition. New dam construction on Cache Creek was being considered in 2002 by the Yolo County Water District, the agency that had built the Indian Valley Dam and the present dam on Cache Creek.

Preshrunk and droll prodigal!

Of your overseas disease
Rot and rout you by degrees.”
