RYAN CREEK MIGRATION BARRIER REMOVAL PROJECT

VALDOR AND UPPER ROADS SEDIMENT REDUCTION, SIDNEY GULCH COMPOUND REHAB AND OREGON ST SEDIMENT

THIS PROJECT WILL FUND THE REMOVAL OF THE EXISTING UNDERSIZED AND FAILED CULVERT ON LITTLE GRASS VALLEY CREEK, A TRIBUTARY TO THE TRINITY AND KLAMATH RIVERS, AND REPLACE IT WITH A PROPERLY-SIZED 13X10 ELLIPTICAL CULVERT WITH AN EMBEDDED BOTTOM. THIS NEW STRUCTURE WILL PROVIDE FULL, UNIMPEDED FISH PASSAGE FOR ALL SPECIES AND LIFE STAGES OF ANADROMOUS FISH TO FIVE MILES OF COLD WATER SPAWNING AND REARING HABITAT. IN ADDITION, THE PROJECT WILL SUBSTANTIALLY IMPROVE HYDROLOGIC AND GEOMORPHIC FUNCTIONALITY AT THIS STREAM CROSSING, AS WELL AS SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCE THE RISK OF ACCELERATED EROSION OR A CATASTROPHIC MASS-WASTING EVENT THAT IS PRESENTLY OCCURRING WITH THE EXISTING STREAM CROSSING. THIS PROJECT WILL BENEFIT THE FOLLOWING ANADROMOUS FISH SPECIES: COHO SALMON (SONC ESU ESA FEDERALLY THREATENED, CALIFORNIA CESA THREATENED), STEELHEAD (KLAMATH MOUNTAIN PROVINCE ESU, CALIFORNIA SPECIES OF CONCERN), PACIFIC LAMPREY (TRIBAL TRUST SPECIES, CALIFORNIA SPECIES OF CONCERN). THE PROJECT IS A COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE NORTHWEST CALIFORNIA RESOURCE CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL, THE CALIFORNIA STATE COASTAL CONSERVANCY, AND THE SERVICE S PARTNERS FOR FISH WILDLIFE PROGRAM AND NATIONAL FISH PASSAGE PROGRAM.

EAST WEAVER CREEK DAM REMOVAL AND MCKNIGHT DITCH WATER CONSERVATION FOR EAST WEAVER CREEK PROJECTS

THIS PROJECT WILL CONTINUE IMPLEMENTATION OF EROSION CONTROL TREATMENTS AT HIGH PRIORITY SITES ON ECOFOREST TRUST MANAGEMENT (EFM) PROPERTIES IN THE SCOTT RIVER WATERSHED, WHILE EXPANDING THE INVENTORY TO IDENTIFY ADDITIONAL NEEDS IN THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE KIDDER CREEK WATERSHED AS WELL AS THE EMIGRANT, PATTISON, FRENCH, AND SUGAR CREEK WATERSHEDS. THE INVENTORY WORK WILL BE COORDINATED WITH THE SCOTT RIVER WATERSHED COUNCILS PROGRAM OF TRAINING LOCAL NATURAL RESOURCES TECHNICIANS IN ROAD INVENTORY PROGRAMS. THE NEED TO CONTINUE TO IDENTIFY, DESIGN, PERMIT AND RAPIDLY TREAT ADDITIONAL ROAD SITES IS EVIDENT BY BOTH THE PAST ROAD FAILURES AND THE SUCCESS OF THE RECENT ROAD UPGRADE WORK.PROJECT GOALS ARE TO IDENTIFY, PRIORITIZE AND TREAT AS MANY HIGH PRIORITY ROAD RELATED SEDIMENT SOURCE SITES AS POSSIBLE BASED ON EXISTING AND PLANNED ROAD INVENTORIES OF THE EFM ROAD SYSTEM AND UTILIZING PROVEN TECHNIQUES FROM PAST WORK. PROJECT OBJECTIVES ARE TO INVENTORY, DESIGN, PERMIT AND IMPLEMENT 15-30 HIGH PRIORITY TREATMENTS CONSISTING OF: CULVERT CLEANING, ROLLING AND CRITICAL DIP PLACEMENT, ROCKED ARMORED FORD AND VENTED FORD INSTALLATION, CULVERT UPGRADES, AND FILL EXCAVATION AND OR ROCK BUTTRESSES ON SLUMPING CUT FILL BANKS. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT THIS PROJECT WILL IMPLEMENT TREATMENTS THAT WOULD PREVENT 1,500-4,500 TONS OF ROAD RELATED SEDIMENT DELIVERY TO KEY TRIBUTARIES OF THE SCOTT RIVER. THIS WILL PROTECT CRITICAL COLD WATER SPAWNING AND REARING HABITAT FOR COHO SALMON, CHINOOK SALMON, STEELHEAD, AND PACIFIC LAMPREY.

TRINITY RIVER WATERSHED HEALTHY LANDS

EAST WEAVER CREEK BARRIER REMOVAL PROJECT - PHASE 2

FY20 TRINITY RIVER SELECTIONS

THIS PROJECT WILL RESULT IN THE REMOVAL OF THE EAST WEAVER CREEK DAM (EWD), AN 18-FOOT HIGH (EQUIVALENT HEIGHT), 33 WIDE AND 25 LONG CONCRETE AND BOULDER DAM SPANNING EAST WEAVER CREEK, A TRIBUTARY TO THE TRINITY RIVER NEAR WEAVERVILLE, CALIFORNIA.THE GOAL OF THE PROJECT IS TO RESTORE FISH PASSAGE CONNECTIVITY FOR ALL LIFE STAGES OF ANADROMOUS FISH TO 2.5 MILES OF HIGH QUALITY, COLD WATER HABITAT UPSTREAM OF THE EXISTING DAM SITE. PROJECT OBJECTIVES INCLUDE REMOVING THE EXISTING DAM, INSTALLING GRADE CONTROL STRUCTURES AND LARGE WOODY DEBRIS (LWD), REMOVING AND RELOCATING AGGRADED STREAM MATERIAL, AND REPOSITIONING BOULDERS UNDERNEATH THE EXISTING DAM TO CREATE FULL FISH PASSAGE ACCESS, AS WELL AS FACILITATE PROPER GEOMORPHIC AND HYDROLOGIC FUNCTIONING OF THE STREAM CHANNEL THROUGH THE PROJECT AREA.THE SERVICE S PARTNERS FOR FISH AND WILDLIFE PROGRAM WILL WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE COOPERATOR TO IMPLEMENT ALL PHASE OF THE PROJECT.

CONNER CREEK FISH PASSAGE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT

FORESTRY ASSISTANCE.

THIS PROJECT WILL CONTINUE IMPROVING HYDRAULIC FUNCTIONS IN DEADWOOD CREEK IN THE PORTION OF THE WATERSHED THAT WAS SEVERELY BURNED DURING THE 2018 CARR FIRE. PROJECT TREATMENTS CONSIST OF REMOVAL OF MINING AND LOGGING ROAD FILLS AT STREAM CROSSINGS TO MINIMIZE THE POTENTIAL OF STREAM CROSSING FAILURE AND SEDIMENTATION OF ADJACENT STREAM REACHES. THIS WORK WILL FOCUS ON THE LOWER REACHES OF THE MILL GULCH SUB-WATERSHED WITHIN THE 500-ACRE BROWN BEAR MINE PROPERTY. EACH CROSSINGS DIRT FILL WILL BE REPLACED WITH ROCKED FORDS TO PREVENT DIVERSION DOWN THE ROAD(S) DURING LARGE STORMS WHILE MAINTAINING LOW-MAINTENANCE ROAD ACCESS FOR FUTURE RESTORATION, FIRE SUPPRESSION, AND OTHER ACCESS NEEDS.IN ADDITION, REMNANT MINE FILL WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE STREAM CHANNEL UPSTREAM OF THE NEWLY INSTALLED MILL GULCH CROSSING ON DEADWOOD ROAD AND THE STREAM CHANNEL WILL BE RECONSTRUCTED TO RESTORE HYDROLOGIC AND GEOMORPHIC FUNCTION TO THIS REACH, AS WELL AS MINIMIZE POTENTIAL EROSION OF THIS FILL IN THE FUTURE.TWO STRATEGIC RIDGES, INCLUDING ONE WITH WESTERN AREA POWER ADMINISTRATION (WAPA) REGIONAL TRANSMISSION POWER LINES, WILL BE TREATED TO REMOVE DEAD TREES AND BRUSH TO CREATE FUEL BREAKS. THEWOODY RESIDUE WILL BE CHIPPED OR BURNED TO REDUCE FIRE RISK AND SEVERITY AND THE SITES WILL BE REPLANTED WITH NATIVE TREES.PROJECT DELIVERABLES INCLUDE INSTALLATION OF 21 ROAD DRAINAGE UPGRADES ON DEADWOOD ROAD, INCLUDING ENHANCING AND INSTALLING ROLLING DIPS, VENTED FORDS AND ROCK ARMORED FORDS. REMOVAL OF APPROXIMATELY 800-900 YD3 OF MINE FILL AND RECONSTRUCTION OF 100 FEET OF STREAM CHANNEL. REMOVAL AND MULCHING OF DEAD TREES AND BRUSH FROM 30 ACRES AND REPLANTING WITH 12,000 NATIVE CONIFER TREES.

THIS PROJECT WILL COMPLETE THE NEXT REQUIRED STEP IN THE RESTORATION OF ANADROMOUS FISH PASSAGE TO THREE MILES OF HIGH-QUALITY HABITAT IN MANZANITA CREEK, A TRIBUTARY TO THE TRINITY RIVER NEAR BIG BAR, CALIFORNIA. THE PROJECT WILL RELOCATE AN EXISTING DOMESTIC WATER SUPPLY INTAKE STRUCTURE FROM AN ABANDONED CONCRETE WATER DIVERSION IN THE TRINITY ALPS WILDERNESS AREA AND REPLACE IT WITH A HIGHER EFFICIENCY AND LOWER MAINTENANCE INTAKE STRUCTURE FURTHER DOWNSTREAM. THIS WILL PROVIDE THE PRIVATE LANDOWNER WITH INCREASED RELIABILITY FOR THEIR WATER SUPPLY, WHILE ELIMINATING THE LAST IMPEDIMENT TO REMOVING THIS ABANDONED CONCRETE FISH PASSAGE BARRIER. THIS PROJECT WILL BENEFIT THE FOLLOWING ANADROMOUS FISH SPECIES: COHO SALMON (FEDERAL AND STATE ESA THREATENED), STEELHEAD (STATE SPECIES OF CONCERN), PACIFIC LAMPREY (TRIBAL TRUST SPECIES, STATE SPECIES OF CONCERN). THIS PROJECT WILL ACHIEVE DOI PROPOSED STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE 2.2 ?INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS AND MODERNIZATION SERVE THE PUBLIC? BY REBUILDING A DOMESTIC WATER SUPPLY INTAKE TO MAKE IT MORE EFFICIENT AND RELIABLE FOR THE LANDOWNER. IT WILL ALSO ACHIEVE DOI PROPOSED STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE 3.3 ?RESTORE LANDS AND WATERS? BY RESTORING STREAM HABITAT, PREVENTING EROSION, AND REESTABLISHING FISH PASSAGE TO THREE MILES OF HIGH-QUALITY SALMON HABITAT.

THIS PROJECT WILL FINALIZE THE RESTORATION OF ANADROMOUS FISH PASSAGE TO FIVE MILES OF HIGH-QUALITY HABITAT IN LITTLE GRASS VALLEY CREEK, A TRIBUTARY TO THE TRINITY RIVER NEAR LEWISTON, CALIFORNIA. THE PROJECT WILL REPLACE THE UNDERSIZED AND FAILED CULVERT THAT WAS REMOVED IN 2024 (PHASE 1) WITH A PROPERLY SIZED 13?X10? ELLIPTICAL CULVERT WITH AN EMBEDDED BOTTOM. THIS NEW STRUCTURE WILL PROVIDE FULL, UNIMPEDED FISH PASSAGE TO FIVE MILES OF COLD-WATER SPAWNING AND REARING HABITAT, WHILE ALSO RESTORING SAFE ACCESS TO 30 HOMES AND PREVENTING OVER 6,000 TONS OF SEDIMENT FROM ERODING INTO THE STREAM CHANNEL AND RIVER DOWNSTREAM. IT WILL ALSO RESTORE 0.2 MILES OF ADJOINING STREAM AND RIPARIAN HABITAT. THIS PROJECT WILL BENEFIT THE FOLLOWING ANADROMOUS FISH SPECIES: COHO SALMON (FEDERAL AND STATE ESA THREATENED), STEELHEAD (STATE SPECIES OF CONCERN), PACIFIC LAMPREY (TRIBAL TRUST SPECIES, STATE SPECIES OF CONCERN). THIS PROJECT WILL ACHIEVE DOI PROPOSED STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE 2.2 ?INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS AND MODERNIZATION SERVE THE PUBLIC? BY REBUILDING A FAILED STREAM CROSSING AND RESTORING SAFE AND RELIABLE ACCESS TO PRIVATE PROPERTY. IT WILL ALSO ACHIEVE DOI PROPOSED STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE 3.3 ?RESTORE LANDS AND WATERS? BY RESTORING STREAM HABITAT, PREVENTING EROSION, AND REESTABLISHING FISH PASSAGE TO FIVE MILES OF HIGH-QUALITY SALMON HABITAT.
