  • Grape Creek Streamflow Restoration — Water and Wine Program

    This project addressed critically low dry-season flows in Grape Creek, a tributary to Dry Creek in the Russian River watershed of Sonoma County, by working with vineyard landowners to install off-stream ponds fed by groundwater and winter rainfall. This eliminated in-stream diversions that had historically reduced flows during salmon and steelhead migration periods. Additional work included fish passage barrier removal and streambank restoration, benefiting federally endangered Central California Coast coho salmon and federally threatened CCC steelhead.

  • Conner Creek Migration Barrier Removal Project

    This project addresses two fish passage barriers on Conner Creek, a tributary to the Trinity River below Lewiston Dam. The Trinity River is a major tributary to the Klamath River. The project sites — Conner Creek Road (Crossing #1) and Red Hill Road (Crossing #2) — are located approximately 8 miles west of Weaverville in Trinity County, California.
