Duffy Gulch Fish Passage Improvement
The project will remove a fish passage barrier on the Mendocino Railway, at MP 18.0, Duffy Gulch. The existing crossing is an 8 ft. by 8 ft. concrete box culvert that extends 38 ft. in length at 2.3% slope. The drop from the culvert outlet to the downstream pool is six feet over a 16-foot-long concrete apron sloped at 33%. The crossing fails to meet passage criteria for all species and age classes at all flows (RTA, 2012). The project will replace the crossing with a structure that meets fish passage requirements, defined by CDFW and NMFS, and that will convey the 100-year flood with associated sediment and large wood. The designs followed the guidelines and criteria outlined in the CDFW California Salmonid Stream Habitat Restoration Manual (SSHRM) Part IX and Part XII (CDFW, 2009).

Chimney Rock Creek Upslope Watershed and Instream Habitat Restoration Project
The goals of this Project are to restore salmonid habitat by increasing the density of large wood by installing approximately 198 key log pieces within 1.7 miles of Chimney Rock Creek in at least 52 unique instream features. The addition of approximately 198 key pieces of large wood will increase the overall density of key pieces from 221 to 246 per mile, or approximately 15 pieces/100 meters for small channels (1-10 meter average bank full width). This would result in reaching the "Very Good" target rating according to the NFMS CCC Coho Recovery Plan 2012 (11+ key pieces per 100m). Additional goals include the reduction of sediment delivery by permanently decommissioning 3.5 miles of abandoned, legacy streamside and riparian road, preventing approximately 11,721 cubic yards of eroded sediment from entering Chimney Rock Creek and treating 34 individual sediment source delivery features within the watershed, including 13 stream crossings and 20 potential fill failures.

Cider Mill Creek (Lindsay Creek tributary) Coho Barrier Removal and Habitat Enhancement Design Project
The proposed project will develop 100% engineering designs to remediate two road crossing barriers (Map 3; Sites 640 and 802) to salmonid passage, including coho salmon. This will allow unimpeded, year-around access to approximately 0.8 miles of anadromous habitat for juvenile and adult salmonids. The proposed project will also develop designs for restoration of the dysfunctional stream channel habitat from Site 640 downstream to the confluence with Lindsay Creek, including the abandoned road crossing (Site #799).

Upper South Fork Little River Instream Habitat Improvement Project
This project is designed to increase the density of Large Woody Material (LWM) in the form of 136 ?key logs? within the 1.84mi anadromous fish bearing reach of Upper South Fork Little River. PWA assessed habitat conditions in the Upper South Fork Little River as part of the ongoing FRGP funded Little River Basin-wide Instream and Riparian Habitat Improvement Design Project. As a part of this planning/design project, instream habitat conditions were assessed, LWM was inventoried, and riparian conditions were evaluated in the Upper South Fork Little River watershed. Heavy equipment and direct falling techniques will be used to add 136 pieces of LWM to the proposed reach bringing the overall density of key pieces in Upper South Fork Little River to approximately 95 key logs/mile. Additionally, this project will result in a more even distribution of large wood and associated habitat improvement benefits throughout the anadromous reaches of Upper South Fork Little River.

South Fork Rowdy/Savoy Creeks Salmonid Habitat Improvement Project
This targeted instream project will characterize anadromous stream reaches and document the benefits and potential risks associated with LWM habitat structure design options. A comprehensive field investigation will be conducted to support the designs, which will characterize and prioritize stream reaches for treatment, identify constraints and yield design options to improve instream rearing and spawning habitat, channel complexity and sinuosity, accessibility to existing off-channel floodplain rearing habitat, and high-flow refugia for juvenile salmonids. Riparian conditions will be assessed and characterized to identify locations where large woody material (LWM) can be sourced for use to construct in-stream LWM habitat structures or where riparian restoration could significantly increase the rate of LWM recruitment into the stream system in the future. LWM habitat structures will be developed in coordination with CDFW and the landowner.

Lindsay Creek (Kramer/Daley Property) Instream Salmonid Habitat Improvement Project
This implementation project will construct CDFW-approved 100% engineered designs for improving in-stream and off-channel salmonid habitat along approximately 1,000 ft. of the Lindsay Creek mainstem channel. Specifically, this project will construct at least 8 instream LWD structures, create one off-channel alcove and 3 inset floodplains, and increase the overall frequency and duration of connectivity with the floodplain adjacent to the mainstem channel.

Tip Top Ridge Creek (formely known as Squaw Creek) Coho Habitat Improvement Design Project
The proposed project will build on previously FRGP-funded P1710518, which characterized the site and documented the risks and potential impacts associated with the different design options developed in coordination with CDFW and the landowner. The expanded and updated habitat design project will address the concerns verbally identified by the CDFW engineer in addition to improving upon the previous design by creating a 2D model design that improves instream rearing and spawning habitat, channel complexity and sinuosity, accessibility to existing off-channel floodplain rearing habitat, and high flow refugia for juvenile salmonids in the proposed design area of Tip Top Ridge Creek. The goal of the project is to develop 100% designs that will lead directly to an FRGP habitat improvement (HI) implementation project that improves instream habitat conditions by introducing LWD habitat structures and increasing the areal extent of existing side channel habitat.

The second project estimates salmonid redd abundances in Mill Creek, Smith River Del Norte County. Abundance estimates are made for redd counts for Coho Salmon, Chinook Salmon, and steelhead trout.

Shasta and Scott River Salmonid Outmigrant Monitoring
The juvenile outmigration monitoring on the Scott and Shasta River is a descriptive research design, intended to estimate the abundance of all age classes of juvenile salmonids emigrating, and conduct bio-sampling from a sub-sample to produce mean estimates for each age class for the target species (Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, and steelhead trout). Additionally, stream flow and temperature at the traps are measured to provide weekly means, minimums, and maximums.
One rotary screw trap (RST) was operated on the Shasta River from mid-January to the beginning of June in 2022 and end of January to mid-July in 2023. One rotary screw trap was operated on the Scott River from the beginning of February to the end of June in 2021. In 2022, two rotary screw traps were operated on the Scott River from the end of January to the end of June. The RSTs were used to sample all age classes of emigrating Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch), and steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). For the period sampled in 2023, statistical analyses are in progress due to application of Bayesian statistical methods to address application of reduced sampling effort to 5 days per week.
Scott

Shasta and Scott River Coho Salmon Escapement Surveys
The Scott and Shasta Rivers are major tributaries to the Klamath River and both flow through Siskiyou County, California. Both watersheds provide essential spawning and rearing habitat for the federally and state threatened Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch). Monitoring the timing, abundance and distribution of adult Coho Salmon in these areas is critical to help develop a better understanding of how these fish are being impacted by natural and anthropogenic impacts over time.
An underwater video camera was operated in the flume of the Shasta River Fish Counting Facility (SRFCF) 24 hours a day, seven days a week, from September 2, 2022, until December 30, 2022. Fish counting operations at the Scott River Fish Counting Facility began on September 29, 2022, and ended on December 26, 2022. The total number of Chinook Salmon that entered the Scott River during the 2022 season is estimated to be 994 fish. Based on age proportions of carcasses sampled during the spawning ground surveys, the run was comprised of approximately 924 (93%) adults and 70(7%) grilse.

This study is a continuation of long-term monitoring initiated by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission in 2013 to ascertain the abundance and spatial structure of southern California steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) via operation of a life cycle monitoring station within the Ventura River watershed, which the National Marine Fisheries Service has designated as a core 1 high priority for steelhead recovery. Deployment of a DIDSON camera provides potential unbiased counts of any anadromous adult O. mykiss that return to the watershed. Electrofishing capture of O. mykiss for the deployment of PIT Tags and construction of detection arrays allows for smoltification rate and marine survival estimates. Snorkel surveys provide O. mykiss habitat, spatial structure, and abundance data. Spawning ground (redd) surveys allow for additional estimates of O. mykiss abundance, spatial structure, and reproduction attempts.

Monterey County Steelhead Monitoring Project
The purpose of this project is the long-term monitoring of steelhead in the Big Sur Coast and Carmel Biogeographical Population Groups (BPG) using the Viable Salmonid Population (VSP) concept described in Fish Bulletin 180.
Project staff will be determining adult abundance and redd abundance in one watershed, the Big Sur River, by using two different methods (DIDSON sonar counts and spawning ground surveys).
During the 2021-22 monitoring season, a DIDSON camera was placed at RM 0.9 on the Big Sur River from 11/19/2020 through 06/02/2021 to determine adult steelhead migration timing and abundance. In addition to the DIDSON camera survey, redd surveys were conducted in the lower 8-mile section of the Big Sur River from 11/19/2021 through 06/02/2022 to determine adult steelhead spawn timing and spatial distribution in the lower eight miles of the main stem Big Sur River.

Freshwater Creek Lifecycle Monitoring Station
The purpose of this project is to continue the 20 year monitoring data set of Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon and steelhead adult and smolt population abundances and life stage survival rates at the Freshwater Creek Lifecycle Monitoring Station, Humboldt County. The monitoring elements in this project will continue baseline data to meet the needs of viability assessment and recovery criteria defined by CDFW and NOAA Fisheries.
The purpose of this project is to continue the 20 year monitoring data set of Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon and steelhead adult and smolt population abundances and life stage survival rates at the Freshwater Creek Lifecycle Monitoring Station, Humboldt County. Abundance estimates are made for multiple life history stages, at multiple spatial scales for Coho Salmon, Chinook Salmon, and steelhead trout. Several methods were used to characterize abundance including: 2021-22 Adult escapement: weir-carcass mark-recapture experiment, 2021-22 Spawning ground surveys, and 2022 Juvenile emigration trapping mark-recapture experiment. Survival estimates were made using mark-recapture experiments: 2020 Smolt to Adult Return (SAR) survival and 2022 Coho Salmon pre-spring and spring migrant probability estimates.

Shasta and Scott River Salmonid Outmigrant Monitoring
The juvenile outmigration monitoring on the Scott and Shasta River is a descriptive research design, intended to estimate the abundance of all age classes of juvenile salmonids emigrating, and conduct bio-sampling from a sub-sample to produce mean estimates for each age class for the target species (Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, and steelhead trout). Additionally, stream flow and temperature at the traps are measured to provide weekly means, minimums, and maximums.
The goal of the juvenile outmigration monitoring on the Scott and Shasta Rivers was to estimate the abundance of emigrating juvenile salmonids. One rotary screw trap (RST) was operated on the Shasta River from end of January to the end of June in 2021 and mid-January to the beginning of June in 2022. One rotary screw trap was operated on the Scott River from the beginning of February to the end of June in 2021. In 2022, two rotary screw traps were operated on the Scott River from the end of January to the end of June. The RSTs were used to sample all age classes of emigrating Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch), and steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss).

Shasta and Scott River Coho Salmon Escapement Surveys
The Scott and Shasta Rivers are major tributaries to the Klamath River and both flow through Siskiyou County, California. Both watersheds provide essential spawning and rearing habitat for the federally and state threatened Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch). Monitoring the timing, abundance and distribution of adult Coho Salmon in these areas is critical to help develop a better understanding of how these fish are being impacted by natural and anthropogenic impacts over time.
Escapement surveys were conducted on the Shasta and Scott Rivers to estimate the abundance of adult salmonids returning to both watersheds to spawn. An underwater video camera was operated in the flume of the Shasta River Fish Counting Facility (SRFCF) 24 hours a day, seven days a week, from September 1, 2021, until January 5, 2022. Fish counting operations at the Scott River Fish Counting Facility began on September 28, 2021, and ended on January 3, 2022.

Coastal Mendocino County Salmonid Life Cycle and Regional Monitoring Project
The purpose of this project is to implement the California Coastal Monitoring Program (CMP) in Mendocino coastal watersheds. Specifically, this project will 1) support regional spawning ground surveys, and (2) continued life cycle monitoring in South Fork Noyo River. Monitoring findings provide information to assess population abundance status and trends of Central California Coast (CCC) Coho Salmon Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU), the California Coastal (CC) Chinook Salmon ESU, and Northern California (NC) steelhead Distinct Population Segment (DPS), currently listed as either threatened or endangered under the federal or state Endangered Species Act.
The term of the project was July 1, 2021 - June 30, 2022. Monitoring included regional spawning surveys and life cycle monitoring in coastal Mendocino County. We conducted spawning ground surveys from November through May, to estimate redd and adult abundance at regional, diversity strata, and independent population levels. Access agreements were established with landowners in October and November 2021. Spawning surveys and daily operation of the fixed station adult fish traps at SF Noyo River Life Cycle Monitoring (LCM) station began in Oct 2021 and continued through May 2022. Smolt trapping was conducted on SF Noyo River from March 2022 through mid-June 2022. Maintenance and data retrieval from PIT tag arrays occurred from October 2021 through June 2022. Final reporting results include redd and adult abundance estimates for spawning season 2021?22; smolt abundance estimates for Coho Salmon and steelhead; and measures of freshwater and marine survival for Coho Salmon.

South Fork Eel River and Main Stem Lower Eel River CMP
This Agreement is for CMP monitoring in the Eel River Watershed and consists of two components; the South Fork Eel River Adult Salmonid Abundance Monitoring Project and the Coastal Chinook Salmon Monitoring Project in the Main Stem Lower Eel River.
While both project components share the goal of monitoring adult salmonid populations in the Eel River, they differ in location and how the monitoring will be conducted.
The South Fork Eel River (SFER) Adult Salmonid Abundance Monitoring Project addressed components of the long-term monitoring and assessment plans for Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) populations outlined in CDFG Fish Bulletin 180, CDFG Recovery Strategy for California Coho Salmon and NMFS Final Recovery Plan for the SONCC ESU of Coho Salmon. The main objective of the project is to estimate the total number of Coho Salmon redds constructed in the South Fork Eel River during the spawning season. Additional data on Chinook Salmon and steelhead redd counts are also collected and used for estimation, though the survey design does not completely capture all of these species? spawnable habitats.

Scott Creek Life Cycle Monitoring Station
The overarching objective of this project is continued operation of the Scott Creek Life Cycle Monitoring Station and the generation of robust annual estimates of key viable salmonid population parameters for California Central Coast (CCC) Coho salmon and steelhead in the Scott Creek basin. This project provides the information necessary to assess the status of coho salmon populations and the efficacy of ongoing recovery actions in the watershed and broader region. Outcomes of this work will directly inform progress toward goals established in the federal CCC Coho salmon recovery plan(National Marine Fisheries Service, NMFS 2012) and provide NMFS the information necessary to rigorously assess population viability (i.e., complete 5-year ESA status reviews).
Three primary tasks were conducted in the Scott Creek watershed during water years 2020 and 2021 to quantify key Viable Salmonid Population (McElhany et al. 2000) characteristics and to support implementation of the California Coastal Monitoring Plan (CMP; Adams et al. 2011):
(1) Adult trapping and monitoring
(2) Redd surveys
(3) Juvenile/smolt downstream migrant trapping
*Sampling was spatially limited in 2020-2021 due to wildfire-related hazards in the Scott Creek watershed

The recommended approach will be applied watershed-wide, leading to identification of all significant off-channel habitat features and a reach-scale restoration prioritization linking reaches with recommended actions to optimize ongoing efforts towards species recovery.

Middle Fork Cottaneva Creek Salmonid Habitat Project
The objective of this project is to construct 30 large wood (LW) features along 0.8 miles of Middle Fork Cottaneva Creek. These features will contain 108 pieces of LW, including 63 key pieces and 8 logs with root wads attached. The completion of this project will result in the project reach consisting of 7.3 key pieces per 100 meters, which meets the Coastal Multispecies Recovery Plan target value of "good". The structures will increase habitat and ecological complexity as well as improve geomorphic function in Middle Fork Cottaneva Creek. The structures are designed to provide winter and summer rearing habitat to salmonids throughout the project reach. Additionally, seedlings and native plants will be planted in the riparian zone along the project reach.
The purpose of the Project was to enhance spawning and rearing habitats for both adult and juvenile Coho Salmon, Chinook Salmon, and steelhead trout. Thirty large wood (LW) features were constructed along 0.8 miles of Middle Fork Cottaneva Creek. The features were comprised of 112 pieces of LW, including 63 key pieces and 8 pieces with rootwads attached. The total key piece count increased to 7.3 pieces per 100 meters. Minor deviations from the design plans occurred. All changes were approved by the CDFW Grant Manager. An excavator, direct falling, and manual construction techniques were implemented. Construction of this project started July 18th, 2022 and ended September 25th, 2022, with heavy equipment operating between July 18th, 2022 and July 21st, 2022. Disturbed areas were mulched with straw or local vegetation to eliminate the possibility of sediment transport to the stream. One hundred conifer trees and 100 native plants were planted following construction.

The project will develop designs for three passage barriers in the Elk Creek watershed located on Elk Valley Road and will perform instream surveys to identify habitat use.
Objectives include: 1) improve fish passage to spawning habitat; 2) improve downstream migration of juvenile salmonids at a greater range of flows; 3) improve conveyance and capacity for flood flows; and 4) restore hydrologic function and conveyance of sediment and debris.
The project resulted in 100% engineering designs for the upgrade of three fish passage barriers on Elk Valley Road in the headwaters of the Elk Creek watershed. A Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) reviewed each design stage (30%, 65%, 90%) and provided input and review for proposed designs. The final 100% design plans include a plan view of all features, grading plans, cross sections, profiles along construction alignments,
revegetation plan, erosion and sediment control plan, water management plan, description of the construction sequence, and technical notes. The Basis of Design Report includes a description
of data collection, analysis, and the design process.

Hare Creek Mainstem Instream Habitat Enhancement Project
The purpose of the Project is to enhance instream rearing habitats for Coho Salmon and steelhead trout. The Project is necessary due to decades of forest legacy impacts that left riparian stands ill-equipped for natural instream wood recruitment as well as considerable stream clearing efforts in the 1960s-1980s that left the watershed lacking adequate habitat complexity and geomorphic function. Adding complex large wood features improves geomorphic function by capturing spawning gravels, improving winter and summer instream refugia, backflooding off-channel habitat and improving access to floodplains.
The specific objective of the Project is to construct approximately 97 instream features within a 15,500 foot (2.9-mile) section of Hare Creek, consisting of 185 pieces of large wood.
Installation of 97 large wood features including 236 total pieces of large wood within 2.9 miles of Hare Creek.

East Fork Mill Creek Floodplain Restoration Design Project
This project will develop all designs required to achieve the restoration objectives including:
1) removing Rock Creek Road and Rock Creek Road Bridge, which constrict the channel of East Fork Mill Creek;
2) relocating the road and bridge onto an old roadbed; and
3) restoring floodplain connectivity and natural channel form and complexity upstream and downstream of the relocated road.
Achieving these objectives will improve spawning and rearing habitat for the Smith River coho salmon population.
The project resulted in final 100% designs for the restoration of floodplain habitat on the East Fork of Mill Creek. All final design components were selected and refined with input from a technical advisory committee (TAC) made up of staff from local tribes, state and federal agencies including CA State Parks, Redwoods Rising, CDFW, NOAA, Tolowa Dee-ni? Nation, Elk Valley Rancheria, US Army Corps of Engineers, and the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board.

The Project?s goals also include promoting watershed stewardship, land and water management practices training, and education with the goal of having landowners, resource professionals, restorationists, and communities increase their technical knowledge to better preserve and restore focus species habitat by: 1) educating landowners about the effects of unregulated water use on streams and aquatic species; 2) encouraging water conservation techniques and compliance with state water law; 3) identifying cooperating landowners and agencies to develop implementation projects that would have multiple beneficial uses and increase stream flows; and 4) educating landowners and planners about sediment and erosion control BMPs.

Garcia River Estuary Salmonid Habitat Enhancement Project - Phase 1 Implementation
The project objectives are to re-establish complex in-channel and off-channel habitat. The project will construct 12 engineered log jams and 6 multi-log habitat structures. The project will provide extensive complex shelter and will help create/maintain side channel to help improve salmonid access to the floodplain. Revegetation of the excavated floodplain will also provide high flow refugia, winter rearing habitat, and rich feeding areas.

Lower Jalama Creek Fish Passage Design
The proposed project would evaluate the two existing impediments to fish passage; develop, evaluate, and rank three fish passage concept options for each barrier; select preferred alternatives; and prepare plans and specifications through 100% design for each barrier. All work would occur in collaboration with a stakeholder review team that includes, at a minimum, CDFW, NMFS, and Santa Barbara County. TNC will work with CDFW, the County and the Coastal Commission to secure necessary grading and Coastal Development permits. All other permits (e.g., 404, 401, 1600) will be obtained at the time of implementation. The grant includes biological and archaeological surveys necessary to complete CEQA at a future time. The project will result in a final design to remove or modify the two existing impediments to fish passage on Jalama Creek that will be ready for final permitting and construction.

First Slough Fish Passage and Habitat Connectivity Project
The purpose of the Project is to complete 100% designs to remove three fish barriers on First Slough, locally known as Cooper Gulch, to provide access to an additional mile of habitat, enhancing habitat quality, connectivity, and availability with focused benefits to non-natal juvenile Coho Salmon.
Grantee completed 100% designs to remove three fish barriers on First Slough, locally known as Cooper Gulch, to provide access to an additional mile of habitat, enhancing habitat quality, connectivity, and availability with focused benefits to non-natal juvenile Coho Salmon. Designs included realignment of Cooper Gulch below 14th Street as well as off-channel pond development and large wood install for habitat improvement. All FY17 PCSRF funds were spent within the award period (even though the project ended outside the FY17 award period).

South Fork Usal Creek Instream Enhancement Design Project
The overall objective of this project is to create shovel-ready conceptual designs for approximately 200 large wood (LW) structures and 100% final engineered design plans for approximately five engineered log jams (ELJs) to restore geomorphic function along approximately 3.5 miles of South Fork Usal Creek. Designed LW structures will provide elements of instream habitat and enhance fluvial geomorphic processes by conducting detailed characterizations of the biologic, geomorphic, topographic, and hydrologic conditions. It is expected that the lowest 0.5-mile of the project area will require development of 100% final engineered LW structures (~5) to produce the greatest ecological benefit. The upper 3.0 miles of the proposed project area is considered conducive to non-engineered structure implementation, and it is anticipated that these LW structures (~200) will consist of a combination of woven complex "spider jams" and accelerated recruitment structures.

Chamberlain Creek Coho Passage Design Project
This project will address CDFW recovery priorities on Chamberlain Creek in the Big River watershed by designing a remedy for a fish passage barrier posed by a corrugated metal pipe that partially prevents adult, juvenile coho, and lamprey passage to 1.6 miles of suitable upstream habitat. The project will design a new stream crossing that will meet fish passage, hydraulic capacity, and debris load requirements. Project partners will evaluate the instream habitat throughout the project as part of scoping and feasibility studies.

Mill Creek & Palmer Creek Instream Habitat Design
This design development project will produce 100% design plans for a series of in-channel and off-channel habitat enhancement features along approximately 1.5 miles on Mill Creek, tributary in the lower Russian River. Designs will create backwater channel features that will improve floodplain habitat by providing connectivity between the incised channel and the floodplain and directly augment habitat in the mainstem channel with LWD installations increasing shelter and habitat complexity.

Wood Creek Phase III - Felt Ranch Off-Channel Rearing Habitat Planning Project
The specific objective of this Project is to produce fully permitted 100 % final design plans, that once implemented, will: 1) provide fish passage and hydrologic connectivity between Wood Creek and Freshwater Creek wetlands to sustain non-natal rearing of juvenile Coho Salmon, steelhead trout, and other salmonids; 2) create a diversity of productive slow-water aquatic habitats at the upper fringe of the Freshwater Creek estuary ecotone for use by endemic fish, wildlife, and vegetation and 3) enhance drainage and reduce flooding inundation of adjacent agricultural areas.
Project activities resulted in completion of 100% design plans which included creating a perennial hydrologic connection between restored tidal channels on Wood Creek and Felt Ranch freshwater wetlands, 7,511 ft of salmonid lotic habitat and access to 36 acres of wetland habitat. Plans call to install 440 large wood pieces for instream and terrestrial cover structures, channel scour and avian perches in pools, ponds, and alcove habitats. Plans include replacement of Wood Gulch Road crossing with 12ft wide embedded box culvert, recreating 8.1 acres of Sitka spruce-partially forested wetland including and hummocks, planting 0.86 acres of riparian species along the rerouted Wood Creek reach and 2.02 acres of upland forest, backfill 1,285 ft of ditch and remove invasive plant species and replant 1.01 acres with natives to control reed canary grass.

Bear Gulch Coho Stream Habitat Enhancement Project
The purpose of the Project is to improve instream habitat for salmonids. The Project is necessary because the lack of large wood in the stream channel has negatively affected the quality and quantity of salmonid habitat within Bear Gulch by reducing the amount of large channel forming features and the limiting complex cover for salmonids. Adding complex large wood features improves geomorphic function by capturing spawning gravels, improving winter and summer instream refugia, backflooding off-channel habitat and improving access to floodplains.
CCC installed 88 pieces of large wood and roots in 33 features within 3,315 feet (0.63 miles) of Bear Gulch.

Bear Creek Sediment Reduction and Salmonid Recovery Project
The goal of this Project is to restore salmonid habitat and accelerate fisheries recovery by permanently removing several abandoned roads that are aligned through the riparian zone adjacent to Bear Creek. The intent is to treat a total of 32 specific sediment source features on 5.03 miles of road including 18 stream crossings, 12 landslide fill failures, one ditch relief culvert, and one bank erosion site. Decommissioning will take place on 3.5 miles of road and will include 13 stream crossings. Upgrading will take place on 1.53 miles of road and will include five (5) stream crossings.

Mid-Klamath Tributary Fish Passage Improvement Project
Instream Barrier Modification for Fish Passage
Project will improve fish passage on 73 tributaries to the Middle Klamath, Salmon, and Lower Scott Rivers. By complete assessments to the identified tributaries that prioritize access problems, develop treatment plans, and monitor and maintain access to these cold-water thermal-refugia habitats. Temporary fish-ways will be constructed by manually modifying stream channels at or near the stream confluence allowing juvenile and adult salmonids access during the low streamflow period of the summer months. Implementing these site-specific treatments will provide access to cold water tributaries for immediate benefit.

The purpose of the Project is to produce site characterizations, a risk assessment, and design and preparation of engineering plans for large wood habitat enhancement structures within a three-mile reach of the Big River. The project is necessary because multiple state and federal salmonid recovery plans promote restoration projects designed to create or restore complex habitat features that provide for localized pool scour, velocity refuge and cover in high priority watersheds like Big River.
The specific objective of this Project is to identify opportunities for, and design engineered log jams (ELJs) that, once implemented, will provide physical shelter, promote diversity in flow velocity structure where fish can harbor during higher velocity events, create scouring forces to develop a complex channel bed with deep pools, and locally raise the water surface elevation to increase floodplain connectivity.
Due to the AB1757 and associated landowner carbon offset sales and its potential implications for The Conservation Fund has decided to forego any CA state grant funding agreements or reimbursements until the issue has been further clarified. The Grantee TU has made an effort to find a solution to move forward. They will continue with the design project and the landowner will pay for the costs. CDFW engineering and fisheries staff will stay involved.

South Coast Monitoring and Evaluation of Salmonid Habitat Restoration 2021-2023
The South Coast Monitoring and Evaluation of Salmonid Habitat Restoration (MESHR) program will fulfill Fisheries Restoration Grant Program (FRGP) monitoring requirements for salmonid habitat restoration projects carried out in the south-central and southern California coastal steelhead watersheds under the Army Corps of Engineer's (ACOE) Regional General Permit RGP-78. The goal of this project is to conduct independent field assessments and report on the physical and biological effectiveness for an array of instream, riparian, and upland habitat improvement projects funded by FRGP. This work is necessary to meet monitoring and reporting requirements for environmental permits and will provide important information on how south coast salmonid habitat responds to restoration efforts.
PSMFC requested to close this project 01/31/22 due to the execution and continuation of the project under a new contract with CDFW beginning 02/01/22.

Bear Creek Instream Habitat Enhancement Project
The specific objective of this Project is to accelerate fisheries recovery by installing 189 key logs, distributed in 50 unique feature locations, specifically identified and 100% designed. The intent is to increase stream habitat complexity, pool frequency, pool depth, high-flow refugia, and over-summer rearing habitat for salmonids in Bear Creek. The Project will ultimately achieve target wood loading densities of (very good) according to the NFMS Coastal Multispecies Recovery Plan (11+ key pieces per 100m).

Lower Little River Off-Channel Coho Habitat Improvement Project
The objective of this project is to enhance connectivity to the floodplain by creating off-channel pond(s)/channel(s) which enhance winter high-flow refugia and rearing habitat for coho salmon in the lower Little River estuary. This project will remove an existing tide gate, construct off-channel ponds, install wood cover structures along the channel, and restore of riparian habitat.
In 2022 the area was mowed to improve drainage in preparation for construction in 2023.

Off-Channel Salmonid Habitat Design for Freshwater Creek: Phase Two
The project will result in a final design plan to create off-channel winter rearing habitat and refugia for juvenile salmonids in Freshwater Creek. The site will be assessed and restoration design plans will be developed to construct a self-maintaining off-channel pond.

Sebbas Creek Off Channel Habitat Planning Project
The goal of this project is to determine the most suitable options to expand or enhance the existing habitat within this stream reach of Sebbas Creek based on a detailed biologic and geomorphic characterization of the project area. The proposed project would develop a 100% design and include a monitoring plan that would cover both biologic response as well as revegetation success. The would be ready for implementation upon completion of this project that when implemented, will expand the available habitat for juvenile coho salmon in the area. Implementation of the design plans will accomplish SONCC task SFER.2.2.3.2

Santa Clara River Steelhead Coalition
This project continues coordination, implementation and outreach capabilities of the Santa Clara River Steelhead Coalition (SCRSC) to implement the federal southern steelhead recovery plan. The integrated effort by over 16 organizations to develop and implement priority restoration projects and engage the public through multiple channels in Ventura Count has proven effective to remove fish passage barriers, restore estuary health, increase water quantity and water quality, and remove invasive species.
The SCRSC provided a forum for conservation groups working in the watershed to advance ecosystem restoration project, conduct community engagement and perform advocacy to support the recovery of dual listed Southern California steelhead. The SCRSC served as a nexus point to coordinate efforts to implement multi-benefit, process-based ecosystem restoration projects. These projects are guided by the NMFS's Southern Steelhead recovery, CDFW's Steelhead Management Plan and other resource management plans. The SCRSC pooled and leveraged the expertise of its member organizations to engage new members and attempted to achieve new milestones for Southern steelhead recovery. The SCRSC performed public engagement to inform the regional community about on-going restoration projects, ecosystem management concepts and the importance of the overall recovery effort.

California Conservation Corps Watershed Stewards Program in Partnership with AmeriCorps
The purpose of this Project is to engage 44 Members in watershed restoration projects throughout California's most high-need watersheds by implementing a five-part strategy which includes: (1) Watershed Recovery and Protection; (2) Watershed Education and Outreach; (3) Volunteer Recruitment; (4) Member Development; and (5) Program Delivery. Members arrive at their sites trained by staff and ready to complete watershed protection projects in the field, organize volunteer restoration projects, lead classroom lessons, and facilitate outreach events. Each Member will be placed at a site, which range from large state and federal agencies to small nonprofits and tribal groups.
In partnership with Placement Sites, WSP engaged 42 Corpsmembers in workshops and trainings; trained Corpsmembers through 141 site-specific workshops/training events; and increased 88% of WSP Corpsmembers knowledge and skills by at least 25%. The Corpsmembers protected, restored/proposed 27 acres for restoration; protected and/or restored 23 different watersheds in coastal CA; assessed 917 miles of stream; improved 706 miles of waterways due to WSP volunteer events (WAVEs); proposed and completed 36 restoration or protection projects (WAVEs); conducted various types of restoration project treatments, including fish screening, fish passage, instream flow, instream habitat, riparian habitat, upland habitat, water quality, wetland, and estuaries/nearshore; and restored/protected/proposed 145 miles of instream habitat.

Topanga Creek Life Cycle Monitoring
The South Coast Region?s Southern California Steelhead Restoration and Recovery (SCSRR) project will continue the operation of a Life Cycle Monitoring (LCM) program on Topanga Creek previously operated by the Resource Conservation District of the Santa Monica Mountains (RCDSMM). The Topanga Creek LCM, the longest running southern steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) sampling program (2000 to present), includes the operation of a DIDSON unit and PIT tag array. If funding allows, we would also conduct Redd surveys. These sample methods provide estimates of abundance and productivity, two characteristics of the fish stock viability indicator known as the Viable Salmonid Population (VSP) characteristics.
In anticipation of winter storms, a DIDSON camera site was prepared at RM 0.4 along Topanga Creek to determine adult steelhead migration timing and abundance. The DIDSON was not deployed in the winter of 2020/2021. A Passive Integrated Tag (PIT) array was operated 200 feet downstream of the DIDSON site (RM 0.4) from December 29, 2020 to May 6, 2021 to estimate steelhead marine survival and productivity. The PIT Tag antenna is able to operate without surface flow and remained on for the deployment period. Marker tags recording on 15-minute intervals indicate no significant gaps in PIT antenna effectiveness during this period. In addition, redd surveys were conducted in the Topanga Creek watershed from RM 0.0 to the end of anadromy (RM 4) from January 11, 2021 through May 4 2021 to determine adult steelhead spawn timing, spatial structure, and to compare detection rates with the DIDSON surveys.

Ventura River Life Cycle Monitoring
The South Coast Region?s Southern California Steelhead Restoration and Recovery (SCSRR) project will continue the operation of a Life Cycle Monitoring (LCM) program on the Ventura River, which consists of a fixed counting station, pit tag arrays, spawner surveys and spatial distribution surveys.
During the 2020-2021 monitoring season, a DIDSON cameras was placed at RM 5.2 on the Ventura River from 01/26/2021 through 05/13/2021 to determine adult steelhead migration timing and abundance. A Passive Integrated Tag (PIT) array was deployed in conjunction with the DIDSON from 01/26/2021 through 05/13/2021 along the Ventura River and a second array on San Antonio Creek, a major spawning tributary, was operated from 12/29/2020 through 05/13/2021 to estimate steelhead marine survival and productivity.
In addition, redd surveys were conducted in the Ventura River watershed from RM 0.3 covering a total of 36 RM to the end of anadromy on all mainstem and tributary reaches from 12/23/2020 through 5/27/2021 to determine adult steelhead spawn timing, spatial structure, and to compare detection rates with the DIDSON and PIT Tag monitoring stations.

The purpose of this project is the long-term monitoring of steelhead in the Big Sur Coast and Carmel Biogeographical Population Groups (BPG) using the Viable Salmonid Population (VSP) concept described in Fish Bulletin 180.
Project staff will be determining adult abundance and redd abundance in one watershed, the Big Sur River, by using two different methods (DIDSON sonar counts and spawning ground surveys).
During the 2020-21 monitoring season, a DIDSON camera was placed at RM 0.9 on the Big Sur River from 11/19/2020 through 06/02/2021 to determine adult steelhead migration timing and abundance. In addition, redd surveys were conducted in the lower 8-mile section of the Big Sur River from 11/19/2020 through 06/15/2021 to determine adult steelhead spawn timing, spatial structure, and overall feasibility of the surveys.

North Central Region
Butte Creek Spring-Run Chinook Life Cycle Monitoring
The purpose of the Butte Creek Life Cycle Monitoring Project is to track long-term population trends and identify limiting factors for a Core-1 population of federally listed spring-run Chinook salmon (SRCS).
During the 2020 survey season, the Butte Creek spring-run Chinook salmon (Oncoryhnchus tshawystcha) (SRCS) adult holding survey was conducted August 4 to 7, 2020. The three reaches from Quartz Bowl Pool to the CCB were surveyed on three consecutive days. The CHD to Quartz Bowl Pool reach was conducted on August 12, 2020. A mark-recapture adult spawning survey (Cormack Jolly-Seber model) took place from 09/22/2020 through 11/05/2020 and was used to generate an escapement estimate to define the size of the spawning population. During the 2021 survey season, juvenile outmigration monitoring took place on Butte Creek at Parrott-Phelan Dam from 01/01/2021 through 06/01/2021. Additionally, 14 juvenile spring-run Chinook salmon were acoustic tagged at Parrot-Phelan Dam between 04/26/2021 and 05/07/2021. The Vaki RiverWatcher (Vaki) at Durham Mutual Fish Ladder was operated from 02/01/2021 through 05/30/2021.

Smith River and Redwood Creek: Mill Creek and Prairie Creek Coho and Chinook salmon Spawning Ground Surveys
The purpose of this project is to continue to provide annual adult Chinook Salmon and Coho Salmon population abundance estimates for the Mill Creek and Prairie Creek Lifecycle Monitoring Stations. The monitoring elements in this project will continue baseline adult salmon population trend data to meet the needs of viability assessment and recovery criteria defined by CDFW and NOAA Fisheries.
We completed 168 surveys in 20 main and seven sub-reaches in Mill Creek during the 2020-2021 survey period which extended from November 1, 2020 through March 15, 2021. We completed 168 surveys in 20 main and seven sub-reaches in Prairie Creek during the 2020-2021 survey period which extended from November 1, 2020 through March 15, 2021.

One rotary screw trap (RST) was operated on the Shasta River from the end of January to the end of June, 2020, and also January to June, 2021. The RST was used to sample all age classes of emigrating Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, and steelhead trout. For the period sampled in 2020, an estimated 3,115,774 0+, and 1,194 1+ Chinook Salmon; 1,233 0+, and 291 1+ Coho Salmon; and 12,192 0+; 6,530 1+; 52,339 2+, and 4,460 3+ steelhead trout emigrated from the Shasta River.
One rotary screw trap was operated on the Scott River from the beginning of February to the end of June, 2020, and also February to June 2021. The RST was used to sample all age classes of emigrating Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon , and steelhead trout. We estimated that a total of 391,643 0+, and 2,000 1+ Chinook Salmon; 105 0+ and 14,628 1+ Coho Salmon; and 291,431 0+, 81,916 1+, 31,845 2+, and five 3+ steelhead trout emigrated from the Scott River. Project prep and reporting = July 1 - Jun 30

An underwater video camera was operated in the flume of the Shasta River Fish Counting Facility (SRFCF) 24 hours a day, seven days a week, from September 2, 2020, until January 11, 2021. A total of 4,168 fall run Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) were estimated to have entered the Shasta River during the 2020 spawning season. A net total of 37 Coho Salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) were estimated to have entered the Shasta River prior to removal of the weir on January 11, 2021. Fish counting operations at the Scott River Fish Counting Facility began on September 28, 2020, and ended on January 4, 2021, due to high river flows. The total number of Chinook Salmon that entered the Scott River during the 2020 season is estimated to be 855 fish. A net total of 1,766 Coho were observed moving upstream through the counting station during the season.

The purpose of this project is to implement the California Coastal Monitoring Program (CMP) in Mendocino coastal watersheds. Specifically, this project will 1) support regional spawning ground surveys, and (2) continued life cycle monitoring in South Fork Noyo River. Monitoring findings provide information to assess population abundance status and trends of Central California Coast (CCC) Coho Salmon Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU), the California Coastal (CC) Chinook Salmon ESU, and Northern California (NC) steelhead Distinct Population Segment (DPS), currently listed as either threatened or endangered under the federal or state Endangered Species Act.
Monitoring included (1) regional spawning surveys and (2) life cycle monitoring in coastal Mendocino County (Figure 1). We conducted spawning ground surveys from November through May. Access agreements were established with landowners, and reaches were scouted in October and November 2020 before surveys began. We performed life cycle monitoring at Pudding Creek, South Fork Noyo River, and North Fork Navarro River to estimate adult and smolt abundance and freshwater and marine phase measures of productivity, and to calibrate regional spawning ground redd abundance estimates. Spawning surveys and daily operation of the fixed station adult fish traps (Pudding and South Fork Noyo) began in November 2020 and continued through May 2021. Smolt trapping and PIT tagging was conducted on Pudding Creek, South Fork Noyo River, and North Fork Navarro River from March 2021 through mid-June 2021. Maintenance and data retrieval from PIT tag arrays occurred from November 2020 through June 2021.

This Agreement is for CMP monitoring in the Eel River Watershed and consists of two components; the South Fork Eel River Adult Salmonid Abundance Monitoring Project and the Coastal Chinook Salmon Monitoring Project in the Main Stem Lower Eel River.
While both project components share the goal of monitoring adult salmonid populations in the Eel River, they differ in location and how the monitoring will be conducted.
SFER Adult Salmonid Redd Abundance Monitoring Project conducted 273 spawning ground surveys over 30 reaches (18 of which were spatially balanced and randomly selected) from December 4th, 2020 to March 12, 2021. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) in partnership with Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC), Trout Unlimited (TU), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) operated a Dual-frequency IDentification SONar (DIDSON) camera to enumerate adult and jack salmon escapement into the lower mainstem Eel River above the confluence with the South Fork Eel River during the fall and winter of 2020-2021.

MBSTP Coho Captive Broodstock and Recovery Program
This cooperative fish rearing project will continue operation of the MBSTP Southern Coho Salmon Captive Broodstock Program (SCSCBP) at Kingfisher Flat Hatchery (KFH) for two additional years, 2020-2022. The fundamental goals of this project are to maintain the viability of coho salmon populations south of San Francisco Bay and to advance regional restoration and recovery efforts. These objectives will be achieved via continuation of the SCSCBP, and specifically the critical functions performed by MBSTP in support of the program: spawning of all captive coho broodstock at KFH; incubation of all eggs/fry, for provision of both captive broodstock as well as smolt release groups; husbandry of all production fish, and age 1+ and age 2+ captive broodstock, at KFH; coded wire tagging (CWT) and release of all production fish.
From 07/01/20 to 05/31/22, MBSTP operated the project outlined in the Q1930407 contract. This project was operated in close cooperation with CDFW and NMFS FED. MBSTP operated of the KFH and engaged in the spawning, rearing, and release of coho salmon in Scott Creek and other coastal watersheds in Santa Cruz and San Mateo Counties. The NMFS FED operated the Lifecycle Monitoring Station (weir and fish trap) on Scott Creek, which sourced a few natural-origin brood fish for the project. However, production was primarily sourced from captive brood fish selected by NMFS FED from segregated family groups according to the genetic spawning matrix guidance. Out planting and release of hatchery-reared coho salmon of all life stages was done in accordance with applicable laws and permits, and closely following the advice of the Captive Broodstock Program technical advisory committee.
All FY15 were spent within the award period even though the project closed outside the award window.

Southern Coho Salmon Captive Broodstock Program (UCSC/NOAA)
The project will maintain a population of Coho Salmon each brood year throughout the grant period. This program will ensure that mature Coho Salmon will be available for hatchery propagation, thus preventing extirpation of Coho Salmon south of San Francisco. The specific objectives are to select YOY Coho Salmon for captive rearing, raise the Coho Salmon to maturity, and return mature Coho Salmon to conservation hatcheries for spawning.
The project built on previous work conducted by UCSC and NOAA and supported viable salmonid population parameters established in the federal Central California Coast Coho Salmon recovery plan. The project completed four major tasks: husbandry, nutrition, and maturation of all Coho Salmon in the captive broodstock program; internal tagging of all program production fish prior to release; development and execution of the annual captive broodstock spawning matrix; and program coordination, planning, and reporting. Production and release of program fish was carried out at KFH while the tagging and marking of fish was carried out at NOAA SWFC.

Julias Creek Instream Habitat Enhancement Project
The specific objective of this Project is to accelerate fisheries recovery by installing 309 key logs throughout the anadromous reach of Julias Creek. The expected results of this project will be to develop more frequent and deeper pools, produce complex cover, create high velocity refuge, achieve wood loading densities above ?very good" and ultimately improved habitat for all life stages of salmonids
Using 363 pieces of LWD (320 key logs),72 features were constructed along a 1.9-mile reach of Julias Creek, West Fork Julias Creek and East fork Julias Creek (Map 3a and 3b). Sixty-one of the features were constructed using heavy equipment, eleven features were ?constructed? by directly felling timber into the channel. Hard anchoring of log material was not needed, as all keylog material used was at least 1.5 times bankfull width with a rootwad and logs without rootwads were at least 2 times bankfull width. Logs that did not meet key log criteria were wedged into existing live trees or within the key logs at the features. Accelerated recruitment features 61, 62 and 68 were not constructed due to the presence of significant numbers of juvenile steelhead in shallow disconnected habitat. With the support of the grant manager additional feature numbers 23.5, 25.5, 28.5 and 64.1 were identified and the features were constructed in alternate locations.

All FY17 PCSRF funds were spent within the award period (even though the project ended outside the FY17 award period).

Salmon River Public Involvement in Restoration
The project will engage the public in the restoration of the Salmon River watersheds by cultivating a watershed stewardship ethic within the citizenry.
Community based habitat restoration workdays, field tours, and educational workshops will be tied directly promote successful stewardship. Participants will implement activities such as fish passage enhancement in tributaries, increasing cover in off-channel habitats and thermal refugia, planting riparian vegetation in habitat restoration projects, removing invasive species and monitoring water quality and fish populations.
This grant provided funding to SRRC for outreach workshops and organizing community members and youth in hands on experiences in watershed restoration workshops. Increased public?s knowledge in local watershed resources, impacts and restoration.

South Fork Ten Mile River Coho Salmon Habitat Restoration Validation Monitoring Project
Assess the effectiveness of Phase I restoration actions by testing the hypothesis that the juvenile coho abundance will increase in response to restoration, and assess juvenile coho life history patterns and use of restored habitats in the Project Reach. The project will monitor late summer/fall habitat conditions, juvenile coho abundance, juvenile coho production, and juvenile coho movement, growth, and survival. The data collected will be analyze restoration effectiveness and validation.
Juvenile Coho Salmon abundance was measured for a before-after, control- impact (BACI) analysis of restoration effectiveness. Analyses evaluated the effectiveness of Phase I habitat restoration at increasing Coho Salmon abundance. These analyses include three years of pre-treatment and three years of post-treatment monitoring data for each monitoring metric. The resulting report includes Juvenile Reach Level Abundance Estimates, Pre- and Post-Treatment Comparison of Reach-Scale Abundance (T-tests), BACI Models to Test for Treatment Effects, and Production of juvenile Coho Salmon estimated for: (1) the watershed upstream of the upper trap, and (2) the watershed upstream of the lower trap. Seasonal patterns of juvenile Coho Salmon movement, growth, residence time, and survival within the project reach were compared across years to assess whether these variables were influenced by implementation of Phase I restoration.

Indian Creek Sediment Reduction and Salmonid Habitat Enhancement Project
The purpose of Project is to prevent sediment from entering the Indian Creek stream network by decommissioning 1.63 miles of abandoned riparian and inner gorge logging roads. Project is necessary because Indian Creek watershed inventories, overviews, and literature specifically recommend sediment reduction and large wood recruitment projects as a priority for Coho Salmon recovery.
Upslope road decommissioning treatments were completed at a total of 18 features along 1.63 miles of road including 12 stream crossings, 5 road fill failures, 1 bank erosion feature.

Little Case Two Barrier Removal Planning Project
The project goal is to develop engineered plans to replace two culverts, known fish passage barriers, on Little Case Creek, improving passage for coho, Chinook and steelhead and opening access to spawning and rearing habitat upstream of the barriers. The two culverts will be replaced with crossings that allow for fish passage of all life stages at many flows.
The project goal was accomplished by the development of 100% engineered plans to replace two culverts, known fish passage barriers, on Little Case Creek, improving passage for coho, Chinook and steelhead and opening access to spawning and rearing habitat upstream of the barriers. There is a proposal based on these plans for the two culverts to be replaced with crossings that allow for fish passage of all life stages at many flows.

Morrison Creek Tributary Barrier Removal
The purpose of the Project is to improve upstream fish passage for adult and juvenile coho salmon, reduce the potential for culvert failure and resulting sediment delivery to an unnamed tributary of Morrison Creek. This project is necessary because the barrier was assessed and identified as a high priority project in the Smith River Plain Stream Restoration Plan (Parish Hanson 2018).
One undersized culvert and a nearby abandoned culvert were removed and replaced with a 30-foot span pre-fabricated bridge with a natural channel
bottom. The channel bed through the project reach was designed following the CDFW stream simulation approach. Five channel spanning logs were placed downstream of the bridge as grade control structures to prevent incision and restore the incision caused by the undersized culvert. In addition, seven root wads were placed along the right bank of the stream as habitat and erosion control structures. The site was re-vegetated with native plants including: herbaceous plants salvaged from the project area, 100 willow cuttings, and 36 trees.

Julias Creek Sediment Reduction and Salmonid Recovery Project
Project will reduce sediment delivery from a legacy timber riparian road system and normalize the hydrology within the Julias Creek watershed by addressing 48 sediment source features and 5.23 mi of abandoned road through permanent decommissioning. Two stream crossings on the primary access road will be upgraded. These actions will offer a sediment savings of approximately 14,445 yd3 while treating approximately 15.86 acres of upslope area.
The original objectives and goals of this project have been met and exceeded. In total, 5.23 miles of high-priority streamside and inner gorge road were decommissioned in the Julias Creek watershed. Additionally, one high- and one moderate-priority stream crossing on the primary access road above South Fork Usal Creek, were upgraded and all hydrologically connected road surfaces were disconnected. A total of 48 current and erosion features were treated to largely eliminate their potential for failing and delivering eroded sediment to Julias Creek and South Fork Usal Creek. Two of these features were very large stream diversions that have now been realigned back into their natural channels. Temporary decommissioning of the 4200 road was implemented from stations 0+00 to 16+52, so that the Redwood Forest Foundation (RFFI) can potentially access the spur road at that intersection for future forest
management.

Meyer Gulch Fish Passage Design Project
The Project is to develop final (100%) engineered designs for replacement of one existing culvert near the mouth of Meyer Gulch within the Holmes Ranch subdivision. The Project is necessary because the culvert condition is currently deteriorating, and the base has begun to rust away. The existing culvert also has an inner concrete fishway and an artificial bedrock pool/weir structure just downstream of the outlet.
The specific objective of this Project is to develop final engineered designs to improve passage for steelhead trout at one site near the mouth of Meyer Gulch, a tributary to Mill Creek in the Navarro River watershed, at Holmes Ranch Road. Implementation of the designs produced by this project would allow for unimpeded fish passage to 3,960 feet of upstream habitat in Meyer Gulch. The Project goal is to develop final plans for construction to replace the culvert crossing on Meyer Gulch along Holmes Ranch Road and improve passage for all life stages of salmonids.
Engineer designs were developed to 100% for a pool-chute fish passage feature on Meyer Gulch. The feature will pass all salmonids at all life stages. The design is not fundable or permittable for implementation by FRGP but is a typical design that CDFW and NOAA permit and it can be funded through other means.

Zanker Farm Salmonid Habitat Restoration Project
The purpose of the Project is to plan and design a channel and floodplain restoration project that will rehabilitate Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and California Central Valley steelhead (O. mykiss) spawning and rearing habitat and restore channel, floodplain and riparian ecosystem processes within a critical section of the Lower Tuolumne River. The Project will yield baseline data and analysis necessary for 100% design plans, ultimately leading to enhancement and restoration of up to 32.3 acres of channel, floodplain, riparian, wetland and upland habitats.
The design includes excavating perched floodplain and remnant side channels, to provide up to an additional 19.8 acres of seasonally inundated off-channel rearing habitat, as well as create up to 5-8 spawning riffles in approximately one river mile on the mainstem.
All FY16 PCSRF funds were spent within the award period (even though the project ended outside the FY16 award period).

Sweetwater Nursery Off-Channel Habitat Design Project
The project seeks to accomplish task RR-CCC-2.2.1.5 in developing 100% designs that, when implemented, will re-connect a man made near-channel pond to the Green Valley-Atascadero confluence wetland confluence to restore off-channel high flow refugia habitat for coho, along a key migration corridor where historical floodplains and associated wetland habitat have been graded for agricultural use and disconnected from floodwaters by channel incision.
The Sweetwater Nursery Off-Channel Habitat Design Project is complete. It includes 100% design plans, specifications, engineer's cost estimate, Basis of Design Report, large wood ballast and stability calculation memo, and final report. The above design products, when implemented in a future project, will benefit coho salmon and steelhead through the creation of approximately 13,000 sq. ft./0.298 acre winter base habitat, 24,000 sq. ft./0.551 acre flood habitat, and 99,000 sq. ft./2.273 acres off channel pond habitat. All FY16 PCSRF funds were spent within the award period (even though the project ended outside the FY16 award period).

Cedar Creek Hatchery Dam Removal: Planning and Design to 100%
Complete surveys and assessments, planning, and 100% engineering design to demolish and remove an existing concrete diversion dam and associated structures on Cedar Creek, which is a migration barrier to anadromous salmonids. When removed, approximately 1.56 miles of Coho Salmon habitat, 3.87 miles Chinook habitat, and 9.31 miles winter Steelhead habitat will be opened. The Project is necessary because Cedar Creek provides high quality spawning and rearing habitat.
Developed 100% plans to remove the Cedar Creek Hatchery Dam. In addition to designs, feasibility studies (evaluation of habitat and analysis of potential outcomes) were conducted. All FY16 PCSRF funds were spent within the award period (even though the project ended outside the FY16 award period).

Butler Creek Habitat Restoration Project
The specific objective of this Project is to will install 136 pieces of large wood in approximately 40 features along 5,700 feet of Butler Creek. The goal of the Project is to improve the quality and quantity of spawning and rearing habitat for Coho salmon in Butler Creek by installing large wood features. Staff will plant 150 redwood seedlings and 50 native plants following project implementation.

Potrero Creek Fish Passage Project - Carmel Valley Athletic Club, Carmel Valley
The purpose of the Project is to provide fish passage and improve flood conveyance while providing and maintaining safe vehicle access across Potrero Creek to existing commercial facilities. The Project will remove a set of perched 48-inch corrugated metal culverts and concrete aprons and replace them with a single multi-plate arched culvert. The arched culvert will be approximately 23 feet long, have a 12-foot-10-inch span, 8-foot-4-inch rise and will provide a 16-foot roadway width. The culvert will be embedded approximately 3.5 feet below the channel grade and backfilled with native streambed material to maintain a natural channel bottom that will provide fish passage similar to adjoining reaches of the channel.
The project obtained all local, State and Federal permits, conducted pre-construction surveys, and reported on all activities. Construction activities included building a temporary vehicle access for the guest and employees of the project site's business and replacing the perched 48-inch corrugated metal culverts with a single multi-plate arched culvert per the design plans. Weekly construction summary reports with photos were also submitted. Overall stream length treated was 100 feet, area of instream features installed is 1440 square feet and length of stream made accessible to steelhead was 1.75 miles. All FY16 PCSRF funds were spent within the award period (even though the project ended outside the FY16 award period).

Buck Gulch Barrier Removal
The purpose of the Project is to restore fish passage through the Buck Gulch road crossing by replacing the current culvert with a free-span bridge engineered to pass all life stages at all flows, and to convey 100 year flows. This Project is
necessary because the culvert barrier is a complete juvenile salmonid barrier and a temporal barrier to adult salmonids.
The project removed the existing culvert, contoured the stream banks, installed five rock grade control weirs, built three large wood features, armored the banks, and installed a 90? long bridge according to the design plans. Fill removed from the original crossing was moved offsite and placed upslope and contoured into the existing landscape. All bare soil was seeded with native grass and mulched with rice straw. ERWIG planted trees and native plants in disturbed areas.

Delilah Creek Habitat and Water Quality Enhancement Design Project
The purpose of the Project is to develop designs and plans to restore natural channel form and processes along the entire anadromous stream length of Delilah Creek (approximately 11,000ft). The project is necessary because the area has been historically straightened due to historic land practices, eliminating the once sinuous planform and resulting channel complexity. Throughout the reach the stream lacks structure, with an aggraded channel with fine sediment and lacking native riparian vegetation. Additionally, there are five undersized road crossings that are problematic for conveyance of flow, sediment, and debris, exasperating aggradation of fine sediment within the channel. The project designs will include multiple restoration elements that will improve water quality, off-channel and in-channel habitat, and native riparian condition. The project will involve meetings and coordination with landowners and stakeholders including fisheries agencies, CalTrans, and Del Norte County.
The Project advanced restoration planning to restore habitat and water quality along Delilah Creek. The project site was divided into two main reaches, Upper and Lower Delilah Creek. The project developed restoration plans to restore upper estuary and wetland habitat along Lower Delilah Creek. The project developed 100% designs for Upper Delilah Creek. These designs support the restoration of instream habitat and natural geomorphic function along a channelized and ditched section of stream, and establish a native riparian buffer, which will increase the organic content of the soil and improve the natural filtration of agricultural runoff. All FY17 PCSRF funds were spent within the award period (even though the project ended outside the FY17 award period).

Little River Basin-wide Instream and Riparian Habitat Improvement Design Project
The purpose of Project is to to develop fully permittable 100% design plans to improve instream habitat conditions through introduction of large wood (LW) habitat structures and treat riparian habitat to increase the rate at which LW recruitment will occur. Specifically, at least 3 Engineered Log Jams (ELJ) and 75 Non-Engineered Log Jam designs will be created to lead to treatment of the top 10 highest priority stream reaches, as identified by the field investigation. The project will also develop a restoration/action plans for sediment-impaired systems following a comprehensive field investigation to help implement watershed sediment control. In addition, a field investigation (including topographic instream/habitat survey) will establish the location and elevation of the existing ground surface, stream alignment, top-of-bank, edge of riparian zone, and all relevant hydrological, geological, and biological features.
All FY16 PCSRF funds were spent within the award period (even though the project ended outside the FY16 award period).

Little Sproul Habitat Enhancement
The goal of the project is the construction of 24 LWD structures using 49 logs, most of which will be sourced from live trees growing in the riparian zone and the slopes above the stream. The project is along 0.7 miles of stream, and, when built, will contain 45 key pieces. This project will provide habitat to coho, Chinook and steelhead. Additionally, 200 redwood seedlings will be planted in the riparian along the project reach.
Edwards Excavation and Restoration fell the trees for the project. The California Conservation Corps (CCC) used hand operated grip hoists to build 24 large wood features within 0.7 miles of Little Sproul Creek. The wood structures consisted of 54 logs, 49 of which are key pieces and 2 of which include root wads. No structures were anchored, all logs were at least 1.5 times longer than bankfull width. Wailaki Nonprofit oversaw the planting of 200 redwood seedling within the project area. The CCC assisted with the tree planting. The project was implemented as outlined in the FRGP funded agreement, Little Sproul Habitat Enhancement Project, during construction some project feature designs were modified with approval from the CDFW Grant Manager. Post-project implementation metrics were gathered by ERWIG and entered into Webgrants.

Davy Brown/Munch Creek Fish Passage Construction Project
The project would open 3.13 miles of habitat for anadromous Southern California Steelhead trout via the removal of three instream barriers to migration. Two barriers are located on Davy Brown Creek and one on Munch Creek. The Project will consist of three major tasks. They are: (1) Project Management, (2) Implementation and Construction, and (3) Re-Vegetation and Monitoring.
The project removed two barriers on Davy Brown Creek and one barrier on Munch creek. After construction the area was revegetated. The project opened up 3.65 miles of habitat for anadromous Southern California Steelhead. All FY16 and FY17 PCSRF funds were spent within the award period (even though the project ended outside the FY16/FY17 award periods).

Sulphur Creek Fish Passage Restoration Project Design
The Project will develop 100% design plans for removal and remediation of a fish passage barrier on Sulphur Creek, a major tributary to the Napa River, which contains high quality habitat and supports a run of steelhead. Access to the highest quality habitat in the headwaters of the Sulphur Creek system is currently limited by an aging inadequate fishway (the project site), which is prone to plugging and requires constant maintenance to remain passable. The restoration approach put forth by this project was developed through a preliminary assessment of the site that explored a suite of alternative approaches to improving passage. The preferred alternative selected from the preliminary assessment involves removal of the barrier and re-grading of the bed and banks to achieve CDFW passage criteria for unimpeded upstream and downstream movement for both adult and juvenile steelhead.
PCSRF FY2015 and FY2016 funds were spent within the appropriate award windows. Other funds were used to complete this project.

East Branch North Fork Big River Coho Habitat Enhancement Project - Large Wood Installation
The specific objectives of the Project are to construct approximately 41 instream features within a 5,930 foot section of EBNF Big River, consisting of 94 pieces of large wood. The goal of the Project is to improve the quality and quantity of spawning and rearing habitat for coho salmon in EBNF Big River by installing large wood features.
CCC constructed 38 total features within 5440 feet of East Branch NF Big River including 97 pieces of large wood combined with small woody debris.

Albion River Instream Coho Habitat Enhancement Design Project
The specific objective of this Project is to design large wood structures that, once implemented, will promote deposition of coarse sediment to create an alluvial channel bed through most the mainstem Albion River and North Fork Albion River project reaches. The project designs would also aim to meet the wood loading densities identified in the Central California Coast (CCC) Coho recovery plan for treated river segments.

Lower Tryon Creek Passage and Off-Channel Habitat Design Project
The purpose of the Project is to evaluate existing conditions and develop designs to improve fish passage and off-channel habitat at two road-stream crossings known to limit fish passage on lower Tryon Creek. The two crossings are undersized culverts, partial fish passage barriers, and impede natural fluvial processes. The Project is necessary because these crossings are undersized
culverts that are problematic for fish passage and conveyance of flow, sediment, and debris, exacerbating aggradation of fine sediment and growth of reed canary grass within the channel. Tributaries within and proximal to estuaries, such as Tryon Creek, provide vital refugia habitat for juvenile coho salmon during the winter. These habitats contribute to higher survival, greater productivity, and higher overall population life history diversity.
The Lower Tryon Creek Passage and Off-Channel Habitat Design Project successfully developed 100% designs to restore salmonid habitat by improving fish passage and off-channel habitat at and adjacent to two road stream crossings known to limit fish passage on Tryon Creek. Once implemented, the project will ensure access to the lower 4.13 miles of habitat in the subbasin. The project will improve the floodplain connectivity and reduce potential fish stranding, enhance riparian habitat and provide seasonal livestock exclusion.

Cachagua Creek Concrete Ford Alternative Design Project - Ringer
Project will provide alternative analysis and 100% designs of the preferred alternative to remediate an existing migration barrier in this important tributary to the Carmel River. The barrier is a concrete ford crossing which provides access to a private residence and has been identified as the #3 Priority barrier remaining in the Carmel River system (see Supplemental Information for Carmel River Barrier Assessment Report).
The purpose of the project was to develop 100% designs to modify a ford crossing on Cachagua Creek to improve steelhead fish passage and landowner access to the property. The Project is 100% complete and included site assessments, alternative analysis, preferred alternative selection and 100% designs including Civil, Structural and Geotechnical reports, final construction costs estimate and final design plans. After the 65% design plans were submitted CDFW discussed revisiting the proposed height of the bridge deck due to concerns with the channel excavation and lowering of the profile to obtain and maintain adequate clearance under the proposed bridge. CDFW recommended their preferred approach which is to elevate the bridge to obtain an increased clearance and assure long-term fish passage to accommodate naturally occurring channel adjustments along with a lesser need for maintaining the channel. The 90 and 100% designs made these recommended adjustments.

Arroyo Seco River Concrete Grade Control Fish Passage Alternative Design Project - Clark Colony Water Company Diversion Structure
This project will conduct and alternatives analysis and 100 percent design package for modification of a concrete sill spanning the entire width of the Arroyo Seco River to improve fish passage for the federally threatened South Central Coast steelhead trout. Because the sill is integrated into a diversion canal, the project will also identify the preferred alternative for compliant fish screens and fish by-pass flows. The final product will be 100% designs of the preferred alternative which modifies the existing concrete grade control sill and the associated pre-1914 diversion structure and fish screen.
The concrete sill barrier was assessed and an analysis of alternative approaches for modification or replacement was prepared. A final 100% design package including Basis of Design Reports, Engineer?s Estimate of construction related costs, Civil, Structural and Geotechnical plans and specifications for the preferred alternative were completed. The preferred alternative chosen was replacing the existing sill and diversion structure with an inset roughened channel fish passage corridor composed of EMS, new screen system compliant with CDFW and NMFS regulations and a fish return bypass. The new screen system will consist of a single 12‐foot diameter cone screen set within a concrete enclosure at the head of the canal, conforming to the existing right bank of the Arroyo Seco River. This approach comprises a partial‐width channel that is positioned along river‐right to allow bypass or fish‐return flows to be discharged from the screen bay into the upstream end of the roughened channel.

Albion River Coho Habitat Enhancement Project - Large Wood Installation
The specific objective of the Project is to improve the quality and quantity of spawning and rearing habitat for coho salmon in Albion River by installing large wood features. Approximately 19 instream features will be constructed within a 3,660 foot section of Albion River, consisting of 62 pieces of large wood.
A total of 20 instream features were installed in 0.69mi of Albion River, consisting of 64 LW pieces. During construction, project designs were modified with CDFW approval. 1 feature was added in the project reach with CDFW approval due to a lack of material quality at several other features. The proposed number of logs for these features were installed at the added feature and in other locations in the project reach. Various CDFW approved anchoring techniques were used to hold multiple logs together to form complex structures including wedging logs into existing live mature trees growing on riparian banks and anchoring to live trees with hardware. Available native slash & small woody debris were installed into structures to provide immediate cover for salmonids and encourage floating debris accumulation & aggradation where needed. All FY16 PCSRF funds were spent within the award period (even though the project ended outside the FY16 award period).

Mattole Headwaters Instream Habitat Planning Project
The purpose of the Project is to assess salmonid habitat and create a plan to improve salmonid rearing habitat with instream structures in the Mattole headwaters and four tributaries. The Project is necessary because the four tributaries have very poor rearing habitat due to land use impacts and lack of instream wood. Pools are shallow and do not withstand summer drought.
Floodplains are disconnected and there is very little refuge from winter high flows.
Therefore, the planning strategy for the tributaries will prioritize structure designs
that increase pool depth and frequency and connection to inset floodplains

Anderson Creek Habitat Enhancement for Coho Recovery - Phase IV
The purpose of the Project is to improve instream habitat for salmonids in Anderson Creek. Anderson Creek supports populations of endangered Coho salmon. The Project is necessary because salmonid recovery plans recommend increasing stream habitat complexity in Anderson Creek by installing large wood (LW). Adding LW to Anderson Creek will enhance pools, increase gravel sorting, and provide increased habitat complexity. This project will be not only helping coho populations, but also Chinook and steelhead populations at all life stages by addressing rearing requirements for coho, Chinook, and steelhead. Following construction of LWD structures, Woodbenders will plant 400 trees and native shrubs. Approximately 300 Douglas firs and/or redwood will be planted along with approximately 100 native shrubs, including the following: evergreen huckleberry, thimbleberry, red elderberry, and cascara buckthorn.
Using 177 pieces of LWM, 53 features were constructed along a 1.87-mile reach of Anderson Creek. Three hundred redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) trees were planted along with 100 native shrubs in the riparian zone. All native shrubs were thimbleberry (Rubus parviflorus).

The Grantee will create high flow refuge and rearing habitat in Freshwater Creek by reconnecting and enhancing two remnant floodplain ponds to Freshwater creek.
The Grantee created high flow refuge and rearing habitat in Freshwater Creek by reconnecting and enhancing two remnant floodplain ponds to Freshwater creek. Channel work included construction of log structures and installation after excavation and fish removal. All instream channel work was completed in 2019. Revegetation, fencing, and monitoring began in late 2019 and continued through 2021.

San Geronimo Valley Landowner Assistance Program- Restoring Coho Habitat
The project will install 14 pieces of large wood to Cintura and San Geronimo Creeks. The project will transform the lower 100 ft. of Cintura Creek from a narrow, incising channel with vertical banks laden with blackberry to a wide alcove of inset floodplains off the mainstem filled with large wood, rootwads and shaded by willow, alder, and other native riparian vegetation. This installation will provide high flow refugia for adult, juvenile, and newly emergent salmonids in addition to native riparian canopy cover. This project also includes additional habitat features in the mainstem of San Geronimo Creek such as large wood pieces and rootwads anchored to boulders.
The habitat enhancement features constructed through this project include large wood structures that will decrease water velocities along the channel edge during winter flows and increase channel bed scour to create deeper pools that will provide summer rearing habitat with cover. During the winter, the slow channel edge water velocities adjacent to the structures will provide refuge for salmonids so that they are not flushed out of the system. The structures are also expected to increase the frequency of deep pools with cover that provide summer rearing habitat in the vicinity of winter refuge habitat (aka habitat connectivity). Additionally, the confluence with Cintura Creek was modified through excavation and large wood placement to create an alcove-like feature that is expected to provide winter rearing and refuge habitat away from the main channel.

Hare Creek and Bunker Gulch Road Decommissioning Implementation Project
The Grantee will implement treatments recommended in the Noyo-Big River Watershed Management Plan Project Part I: Hare Creek and Little North Fork Big River Watersheds (Pacific Watershed Associates [PWA], 2008), including 38 features and 2.48 miles of roads for upgrading and decommissioning to save 4,890 cubic yards of sediment from delivery to Hare Creek and Bunker Gulch.
This project is necessary to improve water quality and reduce excessive sediment yield to salmonid-bearing Hare Creek and Bunker Gulch. The Hare Creek Watershed supports significant populations of anadromous salmonids, including Coho Salmon and steelhead trout.
Implementation is complete for the Hare Creek and Bunker Gulch Road Decommissioning Implementation Project. This project included the upgrading and decommissioning of 37 sediment delivery features and approximately 2.5 miles of maintained and abandoned inner gorge, streamside and mid-slope forest roads on steep slopes. Treating these features prevented more than 4,675 yd3 of deleterious fine and coarse grained sediment from entering the Hare Creek and Bunker Gulch watersheds. The overall success of this project represents a strong contribution toward the restoration and long-term preservation and protection of salmonid habitat in the Hare Creek and Bunker Gulch watersheds.

Mattole River Water Conservation Technical Assistance Program Phase II

Lindsay Creek Coho Barrier Removal Design Project
This project will remediate two barriers to fish passage on Lindsay Creek. The objective will be achieved through developing 100% designs that would be ready for implementation upon completion of this project. One crossing is on the mainstem blocking access to 1.0 mile of habitat above. The second crossing is on a tributary to Lindsay Creek which is a complete barrier to 0.33 miles of habitat above for coho salmon at all life cycle stages throughout the entire year.
This design project addressed two existing stream crossings that are barriers to anadromous fish passage. One is a culverted stream crossing located along the upper mainstem of Lindsay Creek and one is a culverted stream crossing across a Lindsay Creek tributary known as Crystal Creek. The purpose of this project was to develop 100% engineering designs for the removal/ remediation of these barriers. Several design options were developed for consideration by stakeholders and a technical advisory committee. The preferred design options selected for 100% design were those that were most likely to improve fish passage and salmonid habitat while remaining consistent with the landowners management plan.

Cachagua Creek Fish Passage Restoration Project - Valley Creek Park
Remove existing concrete low flow crossing / ford on private property that is a migration barrier to the federally threatened South Central California Coast Steelhead on Cachagua Creek and replace it with a vented ford (3 box culverts) to provide fish passage and landowner access across the creek consistent with designs developed and approved thru 2015 FRGP Grant #P1540401. PCSRF FY2016 funds will be spent within the allowable award window.
This project removed the most downstream steelhead migration barrier in Cachagua Creek (a concrete automobile ford) and replaced it with a vented ford to allow full fish passage while insuring continued access to the Valley Creek Mobile Home Park. The vented ford installed consisted of 3 prefabricated concrete box culverts, each having a span of 24 feet long
by 12 feet high and provide a 20-foot roadway. The box culvert inverts were embedded below the channel grade and backfilled with native stream bed material to maintain a natural channel bottom that will provide passage opportunities similar to adjoining reaches of the channel. The stream was dry during construction, so no surface flow de-watering and no fish relocation was necessary. Final project resulted in 2.1 miles of stream made accessible to salmonid.
Overall stream length treated: 150 ft
Length of Aquatic habitat disturbed: 150 ft
Area of instream features installed within bankfull channel (square feet): 9,375 = 0.21 ac

Fish Passage and Off-Channel Habitat Restoration at Roy's Pools
The project will implement a design funded by a previous FRGP project to completely remove a concrete and metal dam and fish ladder. Doing so will make available 3.5 miles of upstream habitat while creating 250 feet of side channel habitat for winter rearing habitat-a major limiting factor for coho survival in the watershed. It will eliminate annual fish stranding and mortality, and allow for year-round upstream and downstream migration for all life stages of endangered coho and steelhead.
The project removed a fish barrier known as Roy's Pools. This structure consisted of a concrete dam, roughly 15 feet tall, a narrow fish ladder, and four sheet metal weirs downstream of the dam. During the summer of 2020 and again in 2021 (August- October) all man-made structures, including the dam, weirs, and fish ladder were removed. A series of rock grade control vanes and a mix of engineered streambed material (ESM) was placed on top of and between the rock vanes. A segment of the stream was relocated to the north to aid in alignment and long-term stability. The original main channel became a new seasonal side channel, which sees flows during flood events. Two LWD structures, with accompanied willow living debris clusters were placed in two pools upstream of the former dam site. A failing pedestrian bridge at the location of the dam site was removed and replaced with a full-span pedestrian bridge for trail users over the creek.

Southern Coho Salmon Captive Broodstock Program (UCSC-NOAA)
The main goal of the project is to maintain a population of approx. 380 Coho Salmon of each brood year throughout the grant period. The primary objectives are to select approx. 380 young-of-the-year Coho Salmon from the Monterey Bay Salmon and Trout Project (MBSTP) each year, rear them to maturity and return mature Coho Salmon to the MBSTP each winter for artificial spawning.
The project provided daily fish husbandry of the approx. 380 juvenile Coho Salmon retained from each MBSTP spawning event in the winters of 2017, 2018 and 2019. In addition, mature fish from the program were returned to MBSTP Kingfisher Flat Conservation Hatchery for spawning in winters 2017/18, 2018/19 and 2019/20. The project also included appropriate tagging of program fish and preparation of a genetically informed spawning matrix. All FY15 funds were spent in the appropriate window.

Instream Flow Study for Sonoma Creek Steelhead
Install and monitor streamflow gages to establish parameters for streamflow enhancements. Create a plan to enhance streamflow in the Sonoma Creek watershed to support steelhead populations in a changed climate. Amend the Sonoma Creek Watershed Plan.
The three purchased stream gages were installed and monitored, but due to delays in the execution of the grant agreement the stream gages were not installed in time to capture data on the first season. In October 2017, the Sonoma County fire storm destroyed two of the five installed stream gages. Since the three purchased gages were not installed prior to the firestorm they were not lost and were deployed during the second season. Due to the fire damage in the Sonoma Creek Watershed much of the local focus was on fire recovery efforts rather than streamflow improvements. SEC is seeking extensions with WCB, the majority funder, on the instream flow study and Sonoma Creek Streamflow Stewardship Plan. Unfortunately, FRGP funds are expiring and an extension was not possible, so within the time frame of this grant not all the deliverables could be met.

Mattole River Chinook Salmon Abundance Monitoring
Implement the CA CMP by Conducting redd, adult live fish, and carcass mark-recapture surveys in the Mattole river watershed . Provide CDFW with data analysis and population estimates for adult Chinook and Coho Salmon to assess trends in productivity.
Spawning ground surveys were conducted in 22 stream reaches of the Mattole River watershed from November 12, 2017 to February 27, 2018 in a total of 162 surveys. In terms of live fish, survey teams saw 2764 Chinook salmon, 166 steelhead, no coho salmon, and 77 unidentified salmonids. Carcass counts included 177 Chinook salmon, one steelhead, no coho salmon, and 8 unidentified carcasses. Redds with fish on them included 153 Chinook and five steelhead redds. Estimated redd abundance was 2,202 Chinook (95% CI: 1,263 to 3,142) and 471 steelhead (95% CI: 310 to 633). With November rains stimulating spawning migration, but less rain in December, another series of storms in January, and little rain in February the flow conditions allowed frequent surveys with good visibility through most of the season. The steelhead numbers are low because the survey window for Chinook only partially overlaps the steellhead spawning season .

Humboldt Bay Coho Monitoring
This project will estimate escapement of adult Coho Salmon and abundance of redds in the Humboldt Bay watershed using spawning ground surveys. The project will implement CMP life-cycle monitoring of Coho Salmon, focusing on Freshwater Creek and adjacent streams.

Operation of a Life Cycle Station to produce estimates of marine and freshwater survival rates for Freshwater Creek (Humboldt Bay, CA). Marine survival rates were produced for coho salmon smolt cohorts from 2016, 2017, and 2018 returning as adults in 2017/2018, 2018/2019, and 2019/2020. Freshwater survival rates (parr to smolt outmigration and early emigration) were produced for cohorts outmigrating in 2018, 2019, and 2020. Additional analyses that we completed as part of this project included further evaluation of juvenile life history variation at the Freshwater Creek Life Cycle Station and a population monitoring effort for the Freshwater Creek coho salmon population. All FY13, FY14, and FY15 funds were spent within their appropriate award windows.

Mattole River Juvenile Coho Salmon Summer Spatial Structure Monitoring
Collect data on juvenile coho salmon occupancy and associated habitat by conducting presence/absence (distribution) surveys.
Snorkel surveys were completed on 53 seqential, spatially-balanced, randomly drawn stream reaches and five incidental reaches in the Mattole River watershed in Summer 2017. Data were analyzed to determine proportion of area occupied and probability of species occurrence at both the reach and samplue unit scale. Coho salmon juveniles were detected in 7 of the 53 reaches with a resulting proportion of area occupied of 0.03. Coho juveniles were in lower numbers than previous years.. Chinook juveniles were proportion of area occupied was 0.07. In contrast, juvenile O. mykiss were widely distributed and present in all reaches with a proportion of area occupied of 0.95.

Life Cycle Monitoring of Coho Salmon in Prairie Creek
The objective to estimate the abundance of adult coho salmon and estimate freshwater survival and smolt abundances of coho salmon in Prairie Creek will be achieved by spawning ground surveys (SGS), with redd counts converted to adult escapement based on previous comparison of adult redd counts for coho salmon in Redwood Creek. Fall tagging of juvenile coho salmon and their subsequent detection at RFID antenna arrays, coupled with outmigrant trapping will allow estimation of growth and overwinter survival, as well as estimation of smolt production. Tagging of outmigrant smolts at the trap in combination with detection of tagged fish among the returning adults will allow a direct assessment of marine survival.
Each year, Grantee PIT tagged juveniles in October, conducted spawning ground surveys in from November through March, trapped and tagged smolts from March through July, and operated several PIT tag antenna arrays year-round. During the three monitoring seasons, total redd estimates for Coho Salmon ranged from very low (127 in 2019-20) to high (429 in 2017-18) and outmigrant smolt abundance ranged from average (17,036 in 2018) to extremely high (34,807 in 2020). Apparent overwinter survival estimates were mostly consistent with previous years between 0.30-0.35, though a record high of 0.44 was estimated in 2019-20. Grantee estimated smolt-to-adult return rates for the Coho Salmon smolt cohorts that emigrated in 2018 (1.06%) and 2019 (1.16%) which were consistent and fell within the expected range. These three seasons of work from 2017-2020 extended the monitoring period in Prairie Creek to more than a decade. All FY14 and FY15 funds were spent within their appropriate award windows.

Morrison Gulch Sediment Reduction Project
To prevent approximately 4,344 cubic yards of sediment delivery and restore coho habitat through implementation of road decommissioning work directly above Class I coho spawning and rearing habitat.
There were concerns by the landowner about how disturbance associated with the project would be received by the public. This resulted in scaling down the extent of treatments on the G110 Road and leaving the terminal 0.18 mi. segment of abandoned road, originally targeted for decommissioning, untreated. Three landslide features (#407, #404, and #403.1) were not treated because the potential impacts posed by treating the site likely outweighed the environmental benefits. Approximately 0.55 mi of road was decommissioned, including 8 sediment delivery features: all stream crossings. Approximately 9,000 yd3 of sediment and/or debris were excavated directly from the 8 treatment features and the roads accessing those sites. Disturbed areas were seeded and mulched for erosion control, and 1,000 redwood tree seedlings were planted along the decommissioned roads. Willow stakes were planted at some of the decommissioned Class I stream crossings.

Anderson Creek Sediment Reduction and Coho Recovery Project Phase 2
This project will prevent approximately 4,220 yd3 of sediment from entering Anderson Creek by treating 18 features and 1.33 mi of hydrologically connected, abandoned, legacy inner gorge and riparian road reaches with permanent road decommissioning.
A total of 2.05 miles (8 acres) of streamside road (the 1725 Road), was decommissioned. In total, 18 features were treated during road decommissioning, consisting of 15 stream crossings, 2 potential road fill failures, and 1 swale. All bare soil areas outside of the excavated streambed were mulched with native woody debris and/or straw mulch for erosion control and planted with a total of 385 coastal redwood (sequoia sempervirens) seedlings.

Anderson Creek Habitat Enhancement Project for Coho Recovery Phase III
The goal of this project is to supplement ongoing efforts to provide short and long term benefits to salmonids through placement of 100 logs at 25 features along 0.9 miles of stream in Anderson Creek.
Using 100 pieces of LWD, 25 features were constructed along a 1.13 mile reach of Anderson Creek. Twenty-one of the features were constructed using heavy equipment. Four features were constructed by directly felling timber into the channel using a chainsaw. Three of the four felled features were subsequently rearranged by CCC crews using chainsaws and grip hoists.All disturbed surfaces on the streambanks and associated floodplain were mulched using local vegetation in order to maximize erosion control and to limit contamination from non-native vegetation or seed sources. In addition to mulching the disturbed areas, the CCC and ERWIG also planted a total of 525 coastal redwood seedlings (Sequoia sempervirens), 15 sword fern (Polystichum minimum), 21 evergreen huckleberry (Vaccinium ovatum), 20 thimbleberry (Rubus parviflorus), 17 red elderberry (Sambucus racemosa), and 23 cascara buckthorn (Frangula purshiana); totaling in 621 plants.

Supply Creek Restoration Project Phase II
Create 4 acres of high quality, winter rearing, floodplain and instream habitat for Coho Salmon and improve another 3 acres of upland habitat by removing Scale Shack road/levee (20 feet high and 1,300 feet in length) and constructing a more sinuous and longer mainstem channel, two oxbow ponds, two winter base flow side channels and at least 11 large wood structures to provide immediate habitat benefits and encourage pool development.
A previously buried pile of roofing felt and tile was uncovered on the margin of the project footprint near the Hoopa Valley High School. The material was tested and found to contain Chrysotile asbestos fibers. The Tribe contracted a licensed asbestos abatement contractor and approximately 45 cubic yards of materials was removed from the site, before it became clear that the extent and volume of materials was far greater than initially estimated. Upon consultation with Tribal Environmental Protection Agency (TEPA), the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), and the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the decision was made to postpone construction until a full investigation and abatement plan is completed. As of April 2019 the Tribe is waiting for TEPA and BIA to complete the abatement plan. These findings delayed the project to a point where project completion cannot be expected within the timeframe of the Grant Agreement.

Genetic structure of Mad River Steelhead: hatchery genetic monitoring and evaluation of summer run status
Evaluate genetic structure of Mad River Steelhead, including hatchery and natural-origin. Evaluate influence hatchery mating practices on genetic structure.
Parentage-based tagging was used to reconstruct parent-offspring relationshipes to monitor the steelhead retuning to the the Mad River Hatchery (MRH) from 2009-2017. The analysis identified 965 trios (both parents and offspring), and was able to compare proportions of hatchery-origin individuals used as broodstock as indicated by pedigrees from this analysis (0.87) and traditional adipose fin tagging (0.58). The difference is likely attributable to failure to fin clip 100% of the hatchery releases, which caused returning, unclipped, hatchery-origin fish to be spawned as natural-origin fish. The analysis also revealed that the 2017 hatchery broodstock had higher fractions of age 4 and age 2 fish than are typical for MRH steelhead. Age of maturity and spawn-day are two other heritable traits in salmonids, that were indicated to be susceptible to divergence in hatchery populations as a result of any artificial selection imposed by over-representation of hatchery-origin fish used as broodstock.

Blue Lake Off Channel Coho Habitat Improvement Design Project
The objective of this proposal is to develop designs that enhance connectivity to the floodplain by creating off-channel pond(s)/channel(s) which enhance non-natal winter high-flow refugia and over wintering habitat for coho salmon in the lower Mad River.
In March 2019, Pacific Watershed Associates (PWA) completed the final report Blue Lake Off Channel Coho Habitat Improvement Design Project located in the lower Mad River basin. The project was funded by a CDFW FRGP award and Blue Lake Rancheria (BLR) matching funds. The term of the grant agreement, which has since been completed, was from June 1, 2016 through April 15, 2019. BLR Staff coordinated the design project on BLR tribal lands within the lower Mad River basin. The goals of the project were to investigate and determine the most suitable options to expand or enhance the existing habitat within and adjacent to an unnamed tributary (No Name Creek) to the Mad River. The proposed project was to develop 100% designs that would be ready for implementation upon completion of this project that when implemented would greatly expand the habitat potential for non-natal coho salmon in the area. The project site was selected for restoration due to the existence of a seasonal channel adjacent to the floodplain of the lower Mad River and the potential to create quality off-channel rearing habitat for juvenile coho. However, due to unknown physical constraints that were discovered during the site investigation and 30% design phase, it was decided by the stakeholders that design and construction of off channel habitat at this location was not feasible at this time. Unknown physical site constraints included a City of Blue Lake (CBL) shallow depth sewer pipe that nearly center-lined the lower portions of the subject design stream (No Name Creek). In addition, the CBL was evaluated to determine if removal or realignment of the pipe was an option. Stakeholders declined the feasibility of these options as alternatives at this time. Therefore, remaining grant funds are being returned to the FRGP program.

East Fork Ryan Creek Sediment Reduction and Habitat Enhancement Project
To prevent approximately 8,161 cubic yards of sediment delivery and restore coho habitat through implementation of prioritized site-specific road decommissioning and erosion prevention work on 0.9 miles of degrading road just above prime coho habitat.
All of the following work was conducted along a 0.85 miles stretch of the R-16 road. 0.56 miles decommissioned in 2016, including stream crossing and landslide sites. 4,772 cubic yards of sediment were prevented from entering the stream. In 2017, 0.29 miles of road were decommissioned, including 7 stream crossings and 1 landslide site - saving 3,224 cubic yards of sediment from the stream. A total of 0.85 miles of road were decommissioned, including 25 sediment elivery features, 18 stream crossings, and 7 potential fillslope failures. This will prevent 8,000 cubic yards of material from being delivered into East Fork Ryan Creek.

Canon Creek Watershed Assessment and Erosion Prevention Planning Project
Reduce impacts to and restore coho habitat through the development of a site specific and prioritized plan for hydrologic disconnection, erosion prevention and habitat restoration in the Canon Creek watershed.
In December 2018, Pacific Coast Fish, Wildlife and Wetlands Restoration Association (PCFWWRA), with technical assistance from Pacific Watershed Associates (PWA), completed the systematic road related sediment source inventory (Ca??Creek Watershed Assessment and Erosion Prevention Planning Project (CCWAEPPP)), in the Ca??Creek basin. The goals of the inventory were to identify, quantify, and prioritize sources of current and future erosion and sediment delivery within the watershed, and to develop prescriptions for cost effective treatments to reduce or eliminate future sediment delivery from road networks. PWA inventoried approximately 104 mi of native surfaced and rocked roads within the Ca??Creek watershed and identified a total of 396 current and future road related sediment delivery features with the potential to deliver over 63,000 yd3 of sediment to streams in the Ca??Creek watershed. Roads assessed on Green Diamond Resource Company lands are used primarily for timberland management and associated support; some are active and in use while others are legacy roads that have not been maintained for many years. Both road types are focus areas for this assessment and future treatment. In addition to individual problematic erosion features, field crews measured approximately 27 mi of road surfaces and/or ditches (representing over 26% of the total inventoried road mileage) currently draining to stream channels within the Ca??Creek watershed area. Erosion features identified in the field were recommended for treatment only if there would be sediment delivery to a stream. Site not recommended for treatment also included those where effective treatment was either (1) not feasible, or (2) would have resulted in significant adverse environmental effects (e.g., sediment delivery) greater than the sediment savings achieved by treatment. A watershed plan to treat identified road related sediment delivery features on project area roads has been developed.

The heavy equipment work was completed August 18, 2018 to September 15, 2018. PWA provided heavy equipment oversight (construction management) and quality control and met with the landowner and Grantor's Project Manager for site reviews starting in 2015 and continuing into the fall of 2018. Post-treatment data collection, monitoring and post-treatment surveys were conducted in the fall and winter months of 2018. Data analysis and final reporting for this project took place in early 2019. In this project, 13 in-stream LWD structures were along reaches of Morrison Gulch. Over 54 pieces of LWD were added to the stream channel within the bank-full streamflow level, with additional LWD placed in the streamside riparian zone on the floodplain. LWD structures were stabilized through a combination of wedging, trenching, injection into soft bed or bank materials, using additional LWD as ballast, as well as pinning LWD together using threaded rebar and associated anchoring hardware. In all, approximately 0.5 miles of stream was augmented with LWD structures along Class I (fish bearing) Morrison Gulch. Disturbed areas were seeded and mulched after the project work was completed and approximately 500 redwood tree seedlings were planted along the riparian areas associated with the new in-stream LWD features.

Watershed Stewards Program - Year 23
WSP will engage 54 Members throughout coastal California to enhance anadromous watersheds through restoration and protection, community education and outreach events, recruiting volunteers for hands-on projects, and professional natural resources training.
The primary focus of the Watershed Stewards Program (WSP) is to assist communities and organizations with habitat restoration for salmonids (Chinook salmon, Coho salmon and steelhead trout) in order to rehabilitate these threatened and endangered species to healthy and historic populations. Additionally, WSP provides watershed education and outreach in high-needs communities throughout the state, engages WSP Members in volunteer recruitment efforts to increase the capacity and reach of partner organizations, and helps Members develop into the next generation of natural resource professionals. During WSP's 23rd service year, 48 WSP Members served throughout coastal California from October 10th, 2016 - August 18th, 2017 in the four program areas outlined below. WSP was only able to host 48 Members, rather than the intended 54, because California Volunteers (CA's AmeriCorps Contact) denied WSP's request 54 Members. It is anticipated, WSP will NOT seek to increase the number of Members in the future. WSP's diverse Year 23 Placement Sites included federal, state, county, tribal, and non-profit agencies and organizations. Each Placement Site engaged one to two Members in all the service activity areas, while each Site's overall strategy, emphasis, effort, and timing of service activities varied.

Pine Creek Watershed Assessment and Erosion Prevention Planning Project
Reduce impacts to and restore coho habitat through the development of a site specific and prioritized plan for erosion prevention and habitat restoration within the Pine Creek watershed.
In February 2019, Hoopa Valley Tribal Fisheries (HVTF), with technical assistance from Pacific Watershed Associates (PWA), completed the systematic road related sediment source inventory (Pine Creek Watershed Assessment and Erosion Prevention Planning Project (Pine Creek Assessment)) in the Pine Creek basin. Hoopa Valley Tribal Fisheries Department (HVTF) coordinated the assessment on tribal lands within the basin owned by the Hoopa Valley Tribe. The goals of the inventory were to identify, quantify, and prioritize sources of current and future erosion and sediment delivery within the watershed for treatment, and develop corrective measures to reduce or eliminate future sediment delivery from road networks. A second objective was to characterize baseline in-stream habitat conditions within the anadromous reaches of mainstem Pine Creek within the study area. HVTF and PWA conducted in-stream habitat typing surveys according to the protocols described in the California Salmonid Stream Habitat Restoration Manual, Chapter 3 (CDFG, 2010). PWA inventoried approximately 108 mi of native surfaced and rocked roads within HVT-owned portions of the Pine Creek basin and identified a total of 386 current and future road related sediment delivery features with the potential to deliver over 84,000 yd3 of sediment to streams in the Pine Creek watershed if they are left untreated. In addition to individual problematic erosion features, field crews measured approximately 32.7 mi of road surfaces and/or ditches (representing over 30% of the total inventoried road mileage) currently draining surface runoff and eroded sediment directly to stream channels within the Pine Creek assessment area. A watershed plan to treat identified road related sediment delivery features on project area roads has been developed.

Fish Passage Improvement Project at 12th Street
Develop design and construction documents to provide fish passage at the 12th Street culvert crossing barrier for all life stages of salmonids.
Performed topographic survey of the downstream channel, development and assessment of the retrofit options identified in Mike Love and Associates (2013), selection of a preferred option, and preparation of conceptual through final design. The project design consists of fish passage improvements to the existing culvert and downstream channel as well as measures to protect adjacent properties and City roadways from associated increased water levels. Fish passage improvements include reforming the inlet and outlet aprons, and a combination of concrete weirs on the outlet apron and a step-pool roughened channel downstream of the crossing structure. The upstream-most concrete weir would backwater through the entire culvert and notched inlet apron to create suitable fish passage hydraulics. Increases in water surface elevations associated with these improvements are mitigated by the installation of flap gates on stormdrain outlets in the project reach.

James Creek Fish Barrier Modification Project
This project will address a critical fish passage barrier influenced by man on the mainstem James Creek in the Big River watershed. By modifying and improving the bedrock cascade we will allow coho passage to ~3.4 miles of prime salmonid habitat.
The project objective was to modify an anthropogenic barrier to allow adult Coho access to approximately 3.4 miles of prime salmonid habitat. The bedrock cascade was a total year-around barrier for juveniles and adult Coho and a partial adult barrier for adult steelhead during most flow conditions. To remediate the barrier, the project called for the placement of 2,500 CY of quarried stone and engineered streambed material (ESM) along approximately 330' of stream bed. The large diameter quarried rock was placed in the form of 8 rock bands, beginning directly below the top of the bedrock cascade. The rock bands spanned the channel from left to right banks and were installed with a slightly convex shape. Between the rock bands the stream channel was backfilled with ESM. The ESM was placed in lifts and sprayed with high pressure water jets to eliminate air pockets and compact the material between the rock bands. The rock bands increased the elevation of the streambed over the length of the project site and created a series of smaller pools. Fish relocation efforts were conducted prior to year 1 construction activities and again prior to year 2 construction. The project site is located within Jackson Demonstration State Forest, which is owned by the State of California, Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFire).

Lower Jacoby Creek Off-Channel Rearing Habitat Restoration Project
Reconnect (via sediment excavation) and restore two off-channel ponds (via wood placement), totaling up to 1.94 acres of functioning off-channel winter rearing habitat for juvenile coho and other salmonids in Jacoby Creek. The off-channel habitat will be restored within two historical meander bends of Jacoby Creek that were disconnected with the main channel during earlier agricultural activities. The flows from the contributing watersheds will substantially increase the through-flow in the ponds, reducing pond stagnation and providing an inflow of low temperature water with a high dissolved oxygen content.
No FY14 funds will be used after 6/30/2019. This project restored and provided access to a total of 1.94 acres of off-channel nonnatal winter rearing habitat on the floodplain of Jacoby Creek for juvenile coho salmon. This habitat was restored within two historical meander bends of Jacoby Creek that were previously disconnected from the main channel. Of the total restored area, 1.76 acres is low gradient, low velocity, complex habitat sought out by juvenile salmonids for rearing and high-flow refugia. At the Lower Pond Site, restoration included the construction of a 63-foot long offchannel alcove and 50 feet of log step-pool channel that now provides salmonid access to an existing 1.08 acre off-channel pond that had previously formed in a historical meander scar. Construction of this connecting channel included installing 3 log weirs, 572 native trees and shrubs, and cattle exclusion fencing with one gate. At the Upper Pond Site, restoration included construction of a 56-foot long off-channel alcove and 92 feet of step-pool channel that now provides access to the newly constructed 0.45 acre off-channel pond, with an adjacent 0.23 acre emergent wetland, for a total of 0.68 acres of ponded area. Construction included approximately 2,110 cubic yards of excavation, installation of 4 log weirs, 5 log sills, 2 log pond cover structures, and 1,990 native trees and shrubs.

Yontocket Slough Fish Passage Project
Restore fish access into up to 6.2 miles of Yontocket Slough and Tryon Creek by replacing an existing crossing barrier at Pala Road in Tolowa Dunes State Park with two new culverts. The slough channels (culverts) will increase water quality via better circulation, provide new rearing and spawning habitat, establish a connection between the two sections of the Yontocket Slough, and removes a partial barrier to fish passage (earthen fill and 1 double barrel culvert).
2r culvert barriers to fish passage were removed and replaced with two larger corrugated metal pipe arch culverts that allow full fish passage to 6.2 upstream miles.

Trinity Timberlands South Fork Trinity River Road Sediment Source Inventory
Inventory 124 miles of private roads in South Fork Trinity River (coho bearing with sediment TMDL allocation plan) to identify, quantify, & prescribe specific treatments for sediment sources to develop a plan that, when implemented, will improve instream habitat for salmonids by limiting sediment input.
Grantee staff used USGS StreamStats to determine Q100 discharges at 60 road-stream crossings to assess proper watershed culvert sizing. In September and early October 2016 field inventories were temporarily suspended due to significant illegal activities associated with marijuana harvesting including two separate murders in the general area (though not on the property). Prior to returning to the field, scouting was done of remaining inventory areas to determine if they were safe to enter. When trespass marijuana gardens were found on the property the crew was directed away from these areas and the Sheriff's office notified. The field survey was discontinued in early November 2016 due to severe weather and the need to breakdown the camp facilities before water systems froze and the camp became snowbound. The data collected up to that time was analyzed by the spring of 2017 to allow for the planning of the final stages of the inventory. Again, a rapid assessment of road/stream crossings was needed in the spring of 2017 because of the record precipitation levels of the winter of 2016-17. Final field visits were conducted in the summer of 2017. All of the Trinity Timberland roads within the project area were surveyed (112.14 miles total). A culvert and stream crossing inventory was completed and sites GPS recorded. For each sediment source capable of delivering at least 20yd3 of sediment over a ten year period the location physical dimensions and conditions of the site were recorded. A summary of treatments and an initial prioritization was also completed

Graphite Creek Sediment Reduction and Habitat Enhancement Project
Improve coho habitat conditions in lower Graphite Creek and mainstem Garcia River preventing approximately 7,522 yd of sediment delivery and install LWD structures increasing habitat quality, complexity, and high-water refugia in mainstem Graphite Cr. Road drainage system improvements, road closures, and erosion control structures will be implemented at worksites 7210784, 7210785, 7210786, 7210787, and 7210788. 8 LWD structures (rootwads, and anchored and unanchored logs) will be implemented at worksite 7210789.
Upgrading and decommissioning treatments to reduce road related sediment delivery to watercourses on roads totaling 7.1 mi in length, and the construction of 6 large woody debris (LWD) habitat enhancement structures. Road upgrading treatments included individual treatments at 23 features (18 stream crossings, 1 spring, 3 gullies, and 1 discharge point for road surface runoff), and dispersing road drainage treatments were implemented along approximately 5.9 miles of road which threatened to deliver sediment to the Garcia River and its tributaries. Road decommissioning treatments were performed at 10 individual features (7 stream crossings, 2 road fill instabilities, and 1 spring), and road dispersing drainage treatments were performed along 1.2 miles of road. An estimated 7,000 yd3 of sediment was excavated for the erosion prevention treatments and was either reincorporated into local road fills, endhauled to stable, spoil disposal locations, or stored locally on-site in nearby stable locations. PWA estimates that these efforts will preclude future delivery of an estimated 7,925 yd3 of sediment to the Garcia River and its tributaries. Six LWD habitat enhancement structures were installed in the lower mainstem Graphite Creek channel. LWD habitat enhancement structures were specifically constructed with the intent of providing habitat complexity and velocity refugia for coho and other salmonids during periods of high flow in the mainstem Garcia River. Two LWD habitat enhancement structures were installed as bank based structures utilizing trench-anchored logs, rootwads, logs pinned between redwood trees, and cut stumps. Four LWD habitat enhancement structures were installed by pinning or wedging the logs of the structures between living trees and stump. Most of the Douglas fir and coast redwood logs and rootwads utilized in construction of the LWD habitat enhancement structures were trees required to be removed during road decommissioning.

Hall Creek Coho Habitat Improvement Project
Create or augment 12 log structures along a 0.5 mile stretch of Hall Creek to create covered pools and more complex edge habitat within the project reach.
No instream work in 2015. In 2016, four structures were installed, including 20 pieces of LWD. Early rains prevented completion of the project and an extension has been requested. In 2017, the project was completed with 8 new features installed. Twelve LWD features including 57 logs and rootwads were installed in Hall Creek over a 0.5 mile reach.

San Gregorio Creek Habitat Enhancement Project

13 large wood structures were completed similar to the specifications in the grant agreement. One extra log was installed as it was available on site.

Little River Coho Habitat Improvement Project
11 LWD structures (unanchored & anchored logs), log debris accumlation, and rootwads) will be placed along 0.5 miles of stream creating 5 pools.
During the 2016 implementation season, 95 pieces of LWD were placed throughout Features 1-6 using an excavator operated by Hooven & Co., Inc. with the technical direction of PWA scientists and staff. In addition to the LWD features, willow baffles were built on the island along the excavator access route using 15 logs and locally sourced willow cutting to mitigate disturbance and promote sediment deposition on the mid-channel bar/floodplain. The winter storms and peak flows of 2016/2017 modified channel geomorphology within the site reach in Little River. These changes were in the areas where PWA originally proposed LWD features to be built. In order to manage adaptively to the river's natural adjustments over the course of the 2017 project construction window, Features 10 and 11 were relocated up river. Forty-three pieces of LWD were placed throughout Features 7-11 using an excavator operated by Travis Carmesin Construction with the technical direction of PWA scientists and staff. During the winter of 2017/2018 juvenile coniferous trees were planted along the disturbed areas to mitigate for tree loss and site disturbance.. To help with future monitoring, all features were documented with photo points from multiple angles prior to construction and after construction. All disturbed riparian areas and associated access routes were treated with native grass seed, straw mulch, and conifer seedling. In total, 550 redwood (S15 size plugs) (Sequoia sempervirens) and 200 (standard Tree Pot size) Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) trees were planted along 0.56 mi of the project site, including the equipment access routes.

Restoring Fish Passage from the Salt River to Francis Creek
The specific objective of this project is to excavate approximately 100,000 cubic yards of accumulated sediment from 0.7 miles of the Salt River channel and 0.5 miles of the Francis Creek channel according to approved engineering designs. By implementing the proposed excavation, the project will restore fish passage along the 1.2-mile project reach, which will re-establish fish access to an estimated 5.9 miles of salmonid spawning and rearing habitat in upper Francis Creek. Landowners in the upper Francis Creek watershed have been completing prioritized road upgrade, cattle fencing, and land-flow stabilization bio-engineering treatments to reduce erosion potential and sediment delivery into the hydrologic system which will help prevent re-aggradation. Excavating and restoring the stream channels within the described reaches of Salt River and Francis Creek will create a defined and geomorphically stable channel where adult fish can move upstream to spawn and juveniles can rear and feed without encountering obstructions created by an unstable stream channel.
In 2015, approximately 0.5 miles of Salt River channel corridor was excavated. The channel corridor includes a low-flow main channel and associated floodplain. This portion of the excavated channel corridor moved approximately 66,000 cy of sediment. Eight large wood debris (LWD) structures, making up three LWD complex sites, were placed in this phase of the project (not funded by this funding program). Additionally, 4.75 acres of riparian was planted along the corridor of the 2015 project footprint (not funded by this funding program). In 2017, the remaining 0.2 miles of Salt River and 0.5 miles of Francis Creek channel corridor were excavated. Approximately 45,000 cy of sediment was excavated to form the low-flow channel and the associated floodplains. Three LWD structures were placed in the Salt River corridor and six LWD structures were placed in the Francis Creek channel (not funded by this funding program).

Redwood Creek DIDSON 2015-2017

Grantee used a standard model DIDSON unit deployed in Orick, CA to record data and images of fish migrating up Redwood Creek 24 hours per day from November 15, 2015 through June 1, 2016. Granteee processed and analyzed video data collected by the unit to estimate the numbers and sizes of migrating fish. Run timing and relations to environmental variables were determined with standard statistical techniques. Data was presented in a detailed assessment and monitoring report providing estimates of escapement for adult steelhead, Coho salmon, and Chinook salmon and estimates of adult to smolt, and post spawning survival.

Redwood Creek, SF Eel River Water Rights and Salmon Protection Project
SRF proposes to educate stakeholders in the SF Eel River about water conservation techniques, water rights education, and other laws, regulations, and codes pertaining to salmonid protection and water quality through targeted education and outreach. Educational materials developed by the SRF include a Best Management Practices grading brochure, water rights educational materials to be disseminated at garden supply stores, a topographic map that tracks site visits to the Redwood Creek watershed, and develop water rights educational curriculum (including presentations) for use in public meetings and workshops. A targeted educational campaign will be used to promote awareness via radio/print media, presentations at educational institutions, and by utilizing exhibits/posters. The SRF will be conducting the public meetings and workshops.
The Redwood Creek SF Eel R. Water Rights and Salmon Protection Project provided a wide range of outreach and education efforts pertaining to water conservation, water rights, emergency tank water storage, and best management practices. Four educational brochures were created by SRF and distributed at two educational workshops and two water rights clinics as well as at public meetings and at various local businesses. Five informational posters were prepared and displayed at 50 different locations including public meetings organized by the Humboldt Co. Planning Dept., the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board, the Eel River Forum, among others.

Black Mountain Creek Sediment Reduction and Fish Passage Project
Implement recommendations of existing sediment source surveys to restore habitat of coho salmon at 31 sites and 3.25 miles of road to prevent 6,267 cubic yards of sediments from entering Lagunitas Creek. Surveys are used to prevent erosion and sediment delivery originating from the unpaved roads within the Black Mountain Creek subwatershed. Decommission (remove) one stream crossing (worksite 7210831) and upgrade (replace) three others (worksites 7210828, 7210829[also replace 1 undersized culvert with appropriately sized culvert for the 100-year event], and 7210830) to improve fish passage of target species and reduce sediment. The barriers are partial barriers to anadromy for Coho which have been viewed at worksites 7210829 and 7210830.
Sediment reduction treatments included 30 sites along approximately 3.25 miles of road in the Black Mountain Creek subwatershed to Lagunitas Creek. The 30 treatment sites ncluded, 11 areas of uncontrolled road surface erosion, 10 stream crossings, 6 road related discharge points from ditches and ditch relief culverts, one eroding spring site, one bank erosion site, and one landslide site. RCD estimates that treating the 30 sites and 3.25 mi of road reaches substantially diminished the delivery of coarse and fine sediment to the stream system. The work prevented approximately 3,040 yd3 of sediment from episodic erosion (erosion due to large storm event or some other trigger) at individual sites and approximately 3,160 yd3 of sediment from chronic erosion (annually erosion from unpaved surfaces, ditches and cutbanks), over the next two decades, from being delivered to the stream network. Coho are present at worksites 7210829 and 7210830. All drainage improvements include: outsloping the road surface or installing a rolling dip. Roads that were decommissioned were gravel. Treatments for road decommissioning included the installation of an across road drain. Drainage improvement and road closures occurred at worksites 7210828 and 7210830. Drainage improvement, road closures, and culverts were removed at worksite 7210829. Culvert was removed and a 3ft bed was established through the axis of the crossing. Road closure and road-crossing removal occurred at worksite 7210831.

Lagunitas Creek Winter Habitat Enhancement Implementation - Phase I
Improve winter habitat and refuge for coho, and increase the winter habitat carrying capacity for salmonids in Lagunitas Creek, by creating off-channel habitat at two sites identified in recently completed (2013) assessment and design reports.
The Project completed two sites intended to reconnect the base flow channel to floodplain channels to provide refuge for high winter flows. Site 10 was graded and recontoured to make the floodplain accessable to the creek at lower flows.

Lower Uvas Creek Agricultural Wet Ford Alternative Design Project
This project seeks to remedy an existing agricultural 'wet ford' tractor and vehicle road crossing by developing a planning design for a free span bridge crossing Uvas Creek.
The purpose of this project was to contribute toward reduction of the fine sediment burden in Uvas Creek. This project designed a solution to remedy an existing agricultural vehicle/tractor access intrusion into the riparian corridor and across Uvas Creek which is a source of fine sediments and a hydromodification of stream bed, bank and channel. Implementation of the preferred embodiment for the wet ford crossing remediation will eliminate this source of sediment and thereby enhance important spawning and rearing habitat for juvenile steelhead trout. The project's design process included a topographic survey, hydraulic analysis, and geotechnical investigation. Four schematic design alternatives were developed and a preferred design was selected. Outreach coordination occurred to gain input from stakeholders.

Mill Creek Watershed Assessment and Erosion Prevention Planning Project
Reduce impacts to and restore coho habitat through the development of a site specific and prioritized plan for erosion prevention and habitat restoration on the entire Mill Creek watershed. This project will develop the erosion prevention plan necessary to implement a future project.
The Hoopa Valley Tribal Fisheries (HVTF), with technical assistance from Pacific Watershed Associates (PWA), completed the systematic road related sediment source inventory (Mill Creek Watershed Assessment and Erosion Prevention Planning Project (MCWAEPPP)), in the Mill Creek basin. The project was funded by the CDFW Fisheries Restoration Grant Program (FRGP) and the Hoopa Valley Tribe. HVTF coordinated the assessment on tribal lands within the middle and lower basin owned by the Hoopa Valley Tribe (HVT), and in the upper basin lands owned and managed by Six Rivers National Forest (SRNF). The goals of the inventory were to identify, quantify, and prioritize sources of future erosion and sediment delivery within the watershed for treatment, and develop corrective measures to reduce or eliminate future sediment delivery from road networks. In addition, to characterize baseline in-stream habitat conditions within the anadromous reaches of Mill Creek, HVTF and PWA conducted in-stream habitat typing surveys according to the protocols described in the California Salmonid Stream Habitat Restoration Manual, Chapter 3 (CDFG, 2010). PWA inventoried approximately 185 mi of native surfaced, rocked and paved roads within the Mill Creek basin and identified a total of 284 current and future road related sediment delivery features with the potential to deliver over 90,000 yd3 of sediment to streams in the Mill Creek watershed (Tables 1 and 2, Map 2). Roads assessed on the HVT and SRNF lands are native surfaced, rocked and paved logging, forest management and public access roads used primarily for timberland management and for access to Trinity Alps Wilderness recreation areas.

Modified 4 log debris accumulations, installed 17 LWD features including 36 piecies of large wood.

Mattole River Juvenile Coho Salmon Summer Spatial Structure Monitoring 14/15
Collect data on juvenile coho salmon occupancy and associated habitat features by conducting presence/absence (distribution) surveys.
Juvenile coho occupancy data was collected and summarized in final project report. Coho juveniles were found in the mainstem Mattole and a few tributaries. Coho were not as widely distributed as in past surveys, but they were found in higher densitities in areas where they found in 2015. Low flows in tributary streams due to drought conditions were considered a likely factor governing the observed distribution. Reaches where coho were found had significantly more large wood, deeper pools and overhead cover as compared to reaches where no coho were founds.This project conducts monitoring for the fiscal year 14/15.

Lower Mattole Coho Habitat Enhancement - Heliwood Phase 2
The proposed project will place very large wood (100 whole trees with root wads and crowns) in the estuary and lower river in order to provide immediate suitable winter rearing habitat, adult holding habitat and refuge for coho, chinook & stealhead salmon. Plantings will be placed along the edges of the stream channel to increase the overall edge habitat by 30% by the end of the 5-year restoration effort.
Planning commenced in 2015, but no construction due to inability to coordinate with helicopter company in the 2015 field season. In 2016 all wood was placed and sites with anchoring were anchored. 103 pieces of LWD were placed in the Mattole Estuary to enhance salmonid habitat. They were placed instream, at terrace margins, or on the right bank. Nearly all were whole trees, including root wads. One large bar apex jam was constructed incorporating 9 pieces of LWD (included in previous LWD count). 20 acres were planted.

Manly Gulch Coho Access and Habitat Restoration Project
To construct a self-sustaining project that improves geomorphic function and aquatic habitat within Manly Gulch to increase hydrologic and sediment conveyance and improve coho salmon access to 4,000 feet of upstream habitat. Sediment aggregation is the cause for not allowing fish access to upstream habitat. 1 bridge will be installed at worksite 7210820 to allow crossing over Manly Gulch (not related to sediment aggregation). The channel bed will be restored with spawning gravel, creation of instream pools, and creation to off-channel habitat at worksite 7210821. LWD structures (anchored individual logs, logs fastened together, unanchored rocks/boulders, rootwads, and weirs) at worksite 7210822.
Restored access to 4000 feet of stream by constructing 530 feet of stream channel including 70 feet of back water habitat and 9 log grade control structures with 7 large wood rootwad cover structures, and constructing a new bridge over Manly Gulch.

Hayworth Creek Watershed Restoration and Implementation Project, Phase I
The proposed project will reduce sediment delivery (~ 5,648 yds3) by treating prioritized sediment sources and hydrologically connected road reaches by permanently decommissioning 2.9 mi. of forest road and 35 future sediment delivery features at 5 worksites. Excessive sediment removal will improve water quality, reduce excessive sediment, protect/improve/restore spawning habitat, and improve and protect rearing habitat. Channel structures will be placed at 1 worksite to improve Class I habitat by installing 5 multi-log habitat structures using LWD.
Five roads (work sites excluding 7210813) were decommissioned totaling approximately 2.7 miles. Along these roads 33 sediment delivery features were treated to prevent future sediment delivery at: 21 stream crossings, 3 landslides, 2 areas of bank erosion, 1 spring and 6 areas of concentrated road runoff. Road drainage treatments included mechanical decompacting (ripping) all 2.7 miles of road, installation of 76 cross road drains, and outsloping 1,250' of road prism. Through this treatment approximately 5,735 yd3 of sediment have been prevented from entering Hayworth Creek watershed. Worksite 7210813: In addition to road decommissioning 5 large wood structures were placed within the active Hayworth Creek Stream channel. The structures were all simple Spider Jams consisting of 4-5 logs each. The logs varied between 40-60' in length and between 20-30" DBH. Some logs had rootwads attached.

Lawrence Creek Road Decommissioning and Coho Habitat Improvement Project
This project will address coho recovery through road decommissioning and in-stream habitat enhancement. The project will reduce sediment in stream channels at 34 source locations on 4.44 miles of abandoned roads and improve 1.5 miles of instream habitat. Road closure will occur at worksites 7210796, 7210797, and 7210798. Road closure and stream crossing decommissioning will occur at worksite 7210799. Road closure, stream crossing decommissioning, and road fillslope/landing excavation will occur at worksite 7210800. LWD structures (rootwads & unanchored individual logs) will be placed at worksites 7210801, 7210802, and 7210803.
Treatments implemented during this project will prevent the delivery of approximately 16,000 yd3 of sediment to Lawrence Creek. The onset of wet weather conditions late in the 2017 season forced the cessation of heavy equipment work, resulting in leaving a 0.73 mi. segment of the N40 Road, originally targeted for decommissioning, untreated. Even though this segment was not treated, asbuilt excavation volumes and sediment savings for the rest of the project actually exceeded the proposed total values for the original project. In this project, approximately 3 mi of road was decommissioned, including 30 sediment delivery features: 20 stream crossings, 9 potential fillslope failures, and 1 road drainage feature. Successfully treating the project roads required excavating a total of approximately 34,000 yd3 of sediment and/or debris directly from the 30 treatment features. Treating the project sites will prevent the future, episodic delivery of approximately 15,700 yd3 of sediment to the Shaw Creek stream system. Another component of the project was the construction of ten (10) in-stream LWD structures to in lower Shaw Creek and mainstem Lawrence Creek. Approximately 110 pieces of LWD were added to the stream. In all, approximately 750 ft of stream was augmented with LWD structures over a 1.5 mile stretch of Class I stream. In addition, redwood tree seedlings were planted by the landowner along the decommissioned roads and riparian areas associated with in-stream LWD features.

Big Sur River Fish Passage Restoration Project - Riverside Campground
To remove a concrete low flow crossing on private property that is a barrier to federally threatened South Central Coast steelhead trout on the Big Sur River and replace it with a bridge to provide fish passage and landowner access across the river.
This project was terminated before field work was conducted due to a re-design of the bridge which occurred three weeks before the start of the field work season. The re-design was significant enough to consider it a different project. Furthermore, the total project cost was estimated by the design grantee to be approximately $250,000 higher than what was stated in the grant agreement. $18,875.58 was spent for contractors and staff.

California Coastal Salmonid Population Monitoring in the Russian River
Continue monitoring in the Russian River watershed, in order to measure progress toward recovery for anadromous salmonid populations. Expected results include four years of coho and steelhead monitoring data collection, and analysis. The project will be based on basin-wide spawner surveys, basin-wide juvenile surveys for coho salmon, and life cycle monitoring station (LCS) data in the Dry Creek sub-basin for coho and steelhead over four years. The data generated by this project will facilitate: a) estimation of basin-wide adult coho and steelhead abundance through basin-wide spawner surveys; b) estimation of basin-wide coho spatial structure through basin-wide coho juvenile surveys; c) estimation of marine survival of successive coho cohorts through LCS monitoring; d) estimation of freshwater survival of successive coho cohorts through LCS monitoring; and e) generate spawner-to-redd ratios for coho and steelhead in Dry Creek which can then be applied to basin-wide coho and steelhead redd survey data.
This grant involved the continued implementation of the Coastal Monitoring Plan (CMP) in the Russian River watershed. The work included finalization of the Russian River sample frame, life cycle monitoting in Dry Creek for Coho Salmon and steelhead trout, and basin-wide monitoring using a spatially balanced sampling approach (GRTS) in selected reaches to develop basinwide estimates of Coho ans steelhead redds.

Upper Rancheria Creek Instream Habitat Enhancement Project
To install 10 large woody debris structures to enhance perennial stream flows, increase pool habitat, sort spawning gravels, offer protective cover for steelhead, to benefit the spawning and summer rearing life cycles of steelhead.
Placed a total of 25 pieces of large wood creating 11 features within 0.48 mile of Rancheria Creek.

Provide access to 3.38 miles of spawning and rearing habitat for southern steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) by removing the passage migration barrier at Crossing 3 (man-made low-flow crossing) and replacing it with a 53 foot-span concrete bottomless-arch culvert (or bridge)
This project replaced an existing concrete low-flow (Arizona) crossing and degraded culvert with a 53-foot bottomless-arched culvert. Engineered Streambed Material (ESM) was placed in the stream channel and configured to simulate natural stream geometry. A single lane hot-mix asphalt road surface was constructed over the top of the bottomless-arched culvert connecting the existing road surface below and above the project area. Guardrails and bridge rails were installed to meet all County safety requirements. All exposed concrete of the bridge system was given an anti-graffiti treatment. Construction work occurred within the boundary of the designated project area including all grading, excavation, filling, stockpiling, and equipment access. The project complied with all terms within the FRGP Biological Opinion and all permit conditions. The project was completed as scheduled and approved. Project finished ahead of schedule do to extra time being planned in case any issues arose such as permitting.

Fish Passage Improvements at Crossing 0a and 0b, Quiota Creek
Provide access to 5.95 miles of spawning and rearing habitat for the endangered southern steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss, O. mykiss) by removing two recently discovered fish passage migration barriers (low flow concrete crossings) at Crossing 0a and Crossing 0b within Quiota Creek. Each of the two barriers will be replaced with a prefabricated railroad flat car bridge.
This project initially incorporated removal of 2 low flow concrete crossings in close proximity but on separate properties; the Crossing 0B property owner initially was cooperative but changed their minds at the last minute pulling out of the project and prohibited any restoration effort on their property. At that point and after lengthy discussions with the CDFW-FRGP Grant Manager, all project funds and efforts went to completing to the Crossing 0A Project where landowner cooperation was fully given. All further project details refer only to the restoration effort at Crossing 0A. The Quiota Creek Crossing 0A Project replaced an existing concrete low-flow (Arizona) crossing and degraded culvert with a 55-foot bottomless-arched culvert. Engineered Streambed Material was placed in the stream channel and configured to simulate natural stream geometry. A single lane hot-mix asphalt road surface was constructed over the top of the bottomless-arched culvert connecting the existing road surface below and above the project area; exposed concrete of the bridge system was given an anti-graffiti treatment. Construction work occurred within the boundary of the designated project area including all grading, excavation, filling, stockpiling, and equipment access. The project was completed as scheduled and approved. The road, bridge hand rails, final site grading and hydro-mulching/seeding were completed by 12/15/16 at which point the project was officially completed. Project completed under budget.

Steelhead Population Monitoring in the Santa Monica Bay
Provide southern steelhead status and trend data by continuing snorkel and redd surveys in Arroyo Sequit, Malibu Creek and Topanga Creek to complement ongoing lifecycle and DIDSON camera monitoring.
Given the drought conditions between 2012-2016, the data collected during this study has provided important information on the response of O. mykiss to these conditions and underscores the need for continued long-term monitoring in order to identify opportunities for this species to recover. During the low flow periods of 2013-2016, overall abundance declined, despite documentation of a total of five anadromous adults in Malibu Creek. The abundant rainfall from January - March 2017 provided habitat expansion and increased opportunity for anadromous immigrations, but further emphasizes the importance of consistent monitoring. No O. mykiss were observed in Arroyo Sequit between 2015-2016, when the study reaches went almost totally dry. The numbers of O. mykiss in Topanga Creek also declined substantively as reaches of the creek dried up that had previously been stable spring fed refugia pools. Malibu Creek had pools dry down by early summer and remain disconnected until mid-November, when regular releases from Tapia wastewater Treatment Plant resumed; fewer than 15 resident O. mykiss were observed during the summer/fall months. Few redds have been observed each year, and those that were documented have been associated with resident O. mykiss. No redds at all have been observed in Arroyo Sequit Creek.The number of young of the year and intermediate size class O. mykiss has declined during the drought 2012-2016 in Malibu and Topanga Creeks.

Sullivan Gulch Road Decommissioning and Erosion Prevention Project
To prevent over 8,600 cubic yards of sediment delivery and restore coho habitat through implementation of prioritized site-specific road decommissioning and erosion prevention work within the 1 worksite.
Construction of 3 instream LWD habitat improvement structures and the decommissioning of the 2.2 mile MR 3070 Road in the Sullivan Gulch watershed. The road decommissioning project included 29 individual treatment features (25 stream crossings, 3 road fill instabilities (potential landslides), and 1 ditch relief culvert) that were eroding and/or threatened to deliver sediment to Sullivan Gulch and its tributaries. An estimated 25,550 yd3 of sediment was excavated for the erosion prevention treatments, and excavated soils were either endhauled to spoil disposal sites or stored on-site where appropriate. Precluded future delivery of an estimated 5,744 yd3 of sediment to Sullivan Gulch and the lower Mad River. Instream Habitat work was not originally planned but was added to the grant.

Lower Mattole River and Estuary Riparian Enhancement
Increase riparian forest habitat on stable floodplain terraces by planting 15,000 long-lived riparian tree species, and increase riparian edge habitat on intermediate elevation islands by installing trenched willow baffles from 6,000 large willow cuttings. Planting will occur at seven different worksites.
The two completed restoration elements in this project include: Element 1): Riparian Containerized Planting on Floodplain Terraces - A total of 15,000 riparian plants were planted on approximately 30 acres of floodplains in the lower five miles of the Mattole River and Element 2). Willow Baffle Installation on Intermediate Elevation Islands and Bar Apices -A total of 6,000 willow cuttings were installed into willow baffles on approximately 30 acres of intermediate elevation islands and bar apices adjacent to MSG large wood installation sites along the lower five miles of the Mattole River.

Lower Mill Creek Instream Restoration Project
The objective of this project is to increase and enhance rearing and high flow velocity refugia habitat for coho salmon through implementation of site specific instream restoration and fish passage on levee confined lower Mill Creek. Construct 5 features including an off-channel pond, seasonal wetland, floodplain, and side channel and implement process-based restoration actions on the mainstem of Mill Creek that restore channel complexity, riparian function, and salmonid habitat for all life stages, encouraging the channel to restore itself over time. Unanchored logs, boulders, rootwads, and other materials will be used to create instream structures and increase habitability. Off-channel habitat creation will increase the amount of available habitat for all life stages.
This project has created 0.75 miles/3.1 acres of off-channel/floodplain habitat, reconfigured over 0.7 miles of stream, and installed 135 instream habitat features which created 55 instream pools. In addition, 41,250 cubic yards of material were moved, and 0.2 miles of levy were removed to construct these instream and off-channel areas. The 3.1 acres of floodplain and off-channel area was planted with 27 species of native plants.

San Antonio Creek Arundo Removal
The California Conservation Corps will remove and chip 5 acres of the invasive weed, Arundo donax, from middle San Antonio Creek. This project is part of a larger effort to eradicate Arundo donax from the Ventura River Watershed as a top-down approach.
Riparian plant removal occurred at both sites to remove approximately 5 acres of invasiv Arundo donax.

Marble Gulch Instream Coho Habitat Enhancement Project
Install approximately 156 pieces of large wood along 1.7 miles of high priority core recovery habitat in Marble Gulch. Project will increase stream complexity, pool frequency, winter shelter and rearing habitat for coho salmon.
The Marble Gulch Instream Coho Habitat Enhancement Project treated a total of 1.72 miles of anadromous stream in the Marble Gulch watershed with 177 individual logs placed within 80 unique locations within the worksite. The addition of these structures will enhance spawning and rearing habitat by providing cover, increasing pool complexity, increasing pool depth and frequency, sorting and collecting spawning gravels, increasing the quality and quantity of rearing habitat within the project, and by providing velocity refuge during peak winter flows for juvenile salmonids and migrating adults salmonids.

Salmonid Distribution in the Restored Salt River
Salmonid presence and distribution will be measured across 330 acres of a newly created estuary and 4 miles of restored river channel. It's expected that salmonids will increasingly utilize habitats that have diverse habitat structure such as eelgrass. To determine if the estuarine and river channel restoration efforts are successful for salmonids and other fish, a variety of monitoring methods will be employed.
The project monitored the response of fish and eelgrass to a restoration project that excavated 7 miles of Salt River channel and 3 miles of estuary slough channel network. The three years of fish and eelgrass monitoring demonstrated that salmonids and other marine and freshwater species utilized the restored portions of the river and slough channels. The objective of providing habitat for juvenile salmonids as well as a variety of other estuarine-dependent species in the estuary transition zone was met. Chinook and coho salmon juveniles as well as adult and juvenile marine species were found in the restored tidal marsh and river channel in the spring (March - May) sampling. Tidewater gobies were mostly associated with channel features that were designed to maintain backwater. However, the short lengths of elevated channel bed designed to retain brackish water in the terminial ends of slough channels degraded during the sampling periods and the tidewater gobi numbers at these sample sites decreased. Tidewater gobies are now found using a more freshwater site that is tidally influenced where constructed wooden weirs provide the preferred backwater habitat.

Non-Native Crayfish Removal from Malibu Creek Watershed
Mountains Restoration Trust (MRT) will work to eliminate a specific threat to the endangered southern steelhead by removing non-native crayfish from the Malibu Creek watershed. MRT will work with the resource agencies towards 100% eradication along the 30 miles of habitat. Volunteer labor is an in-kind and not monetary contribution.
MRT's aquatic invasive species removal efforts focused on red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) but also include mosquito fish (Gambusia affinis), American bullfrogs (Lithobates catesbeianus), largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides), bullhead catfish (Ameiurus spp.), common carp (Cyprinus carpio), bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) and green sunfish (Lepomis cyanellus). Over the lifetime of the grant, MRT removed 413,976 invasive crayfish from its project sites; 205,943 from Middle Las Virgenes Creek, 6,853 from Upper Las Virgenes Creek, 171,927 from Medea Creek, and 29,253 from Lindero Creek. In 2016 MRT successfully eradicated crayfish from upper sections of Las Virgenes Creek upstream of Hwy 101 and subsequent monitoring of these sites maintain project success to date. During biological surveys in summer 2017, MRT detected the presence of the California Red-Legged Frog (Rana draytonii) ("CRLF") in a 0.5-mile section of Virgenes Creek above Agoura Road (upstream boundary: 34.14935, -118.69867, downstream boundary: 34.13944, -118.70333). During two weeks in July 2017, MRT conducted a trap efficiency study comparing invasive crayfish and bycatch across 12 trap designs. The cylindrical mesh out-performed the other traps by catching the most crayfish while not catching any tadpoles. During the grant period, MRT hosted 82 volunteer events, for 1,727 volunteers and 4,292 volunteer hours dedicated to removing aquatic invasive species.

19 of the 25 LWD structures were completed - or 76% of the project.

Mill Creek Tributaries Fish Passage Project
Restore salmonid access to approximately 5,600 feet of stream in an old-growth forest watershed. This will be accomplished with the replacement of two undersized culvert crossings with appropriately sized culverts containing stream-simulation channel bed. Both worksites will replace 1 culvert with appropriately sized culverts containing a stream-simulation channel bed.
The project replaced two culvert crossings that acted as salmonid passage barriers with new culverts that were designed using the Stream Simulation Section of Part XII (DFG, 2009) of the California Department of Fish and Game Salmonid Stream Habitat Restoration Manual, in order to restore access for all life stages of salmonids to over 5,600 feet (1.06 miles) of high quality spawning and rearing habitat within the old-growth redwood forest of Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park.

Salmon Acclimation Pens, Pillar Point Harbor: Phase 2
Facilitate the acclimation of hatchery-raised fall-run Chinook salmon to the waters of the Pacific Ocean with non-estuary release
Coastside Fishing Club assisted CDFW in vaccinating fall-run Chinook salmon at the Feather River Hatchery then CDFW delivered (totals of 360k in 2014 and 360k? In 2015) the fish to floating net pens moored in Pillar Point's Outer Harbor (near Half Moon Bay), where they were acclimated, then released into the Pacific Ocean. In 2014, deliveries of fish to the net pens from the hatchery occurred on May 22, May 29, and on June 5. In 2015, deliveries occurred on May 20, May 27 and on June 03, 2015. The Coastside Fishing Club purchased vaccine before the date of the executed grant agreement so reimbursement was disallowed. Reimbursement of fish food was allowed because pruchase was within the appropriate timeframe of the Grant Agreement. Grantee completed work but covered costs incurred outside term of grant which resulted in unspent balance.

Headwaters Forest S.F. Elk River Sediment Reduction Project
To prevent approx. 9,400 cu. Yd. of sediment delivery and restore coho habitat through implementation of prioritized road decommissioning and erosion prevention work (6 acres) in S.F.

Gualala River Watershed Council Salmonid Population Monitoring- North Fork HAS
The Gualala River Watershed Council proposes to develop a comprehensive assessment of the viability of existing salmonid populations in the North Fork Hydrologic Sub-Area (HAS) by increasing population monitoring to a density that will assess low abundance CCC coho populations with snorkel surveys. 17 sites will be monitored over 19.7 stream miles for adult, smolt, and fry populations using snorkel surveys.
Smolt/fry and adult salmonid monitoring occurred along 19.36 stream miles in the Gualala watershed using snorkel surveys to assess the viability of existing salmonid populations.

Green Valley Creek Off Channel Winter Refugia Habitat Enhancement Project
The objective of the project is to enhance winter rearing and high flow velocity refugia habitat for juvenile salmonids through implementation of site specific plans to restore complex off-channel habitat in 0.03 miles of Green Valley Creek. The off-channel habitat will be used to re-create, and restore alcove, backwater, or perennial pond habitats. 1 pool will be created. This project will include construction of the 200' long side channel, the realignment of the lower 100 feet of Thomas Creek to deepen and widen it to create a backwater, and placement of all engineered large wood structures throughout the project area and two boulder step pools at the upstream end of the Thomas Creek redesign to provide habitat complexity and ensure grade stability
On Green Valley Creek an off-channel habitat project was implemented consisting of 330 linear feet (0.063 miles), 15,957 cubic feet of off-channel habitat for a typical storm event; 77,490 cubic feet of off-channel habitat at annual peak flow storm event. The created habitat area is 15,308 square feet (0.35 acre). 1,295 native riparian plants (trees, shrubs and wetland species) were planted, in addition to extensive willow sprigging throughout the bank area on inlet and outlet. 52 pieces of large wood were incorporated into 14 structures. NOAA cost share increased from $215,340.92 to $366,380

Salmon Creek Dairy Water Conservation Design Project 02
The objective of this project is to create an engineered design that will effectively and measurably reduce the volume of water extracted from a tributary to Salmon Creek by 10,000 gallons per day during the dry season or 1.8 million gallons per dry season.
No final designs were completed. The Grantee developed and proposed three design scenarios. The site was such that there was no suitable location to capture enough water to satisfy the water demand. The Grantee pursued a scenario of overland flow capture but the proposed design required setting aside valuable acreage that the landowner and family was uncomfortable with taking out of production. Ultimately, it was unfeasible to pursue a full design after conceptual design alternatives were proposed.

Upper Mattole Coho Salmon Habitat Enhancement
Increase channel complexity in the Upper Mattole mainstem and tributaries in order to enhance year-round rearing habitat for juvenile coho salmon and resting areas and pools for spawners. Placement is based on assessment priorities. 138 structures will be placed, creating 20 pools along 5.89 miles of habitat using individual logs at all 6 worksites. Channel complexity is increased via LWD structures.
Thirteen anchored large wood structures were placed in the mainstem Mattole River, three structures were placed in Bridge Creek, three structures were placed in Lost River Creek,and two structures were placed in Mill Creek. Forty-six nanchored wood structures were placed in Thompson Creek and 5 unanchored structures were placed in Yew Creek.

Census basin-wide escapement of Chinook, coho and steelhead to the Smith River using 2 DIDSON acoustic cameras. Apportion species with GRTS redd surveys, Rowdy Creek Fish Hatchery weir counts and angler data. Monitor anadromous salmonid status and trends. 3077 miles of stream will be monitored.
A basin wide escapement estimate was made for Chinook salmon and steelhead trout. A report detailing mionitoring activities and results was prepared.

Baker Creek Fish Passage Upgrade
Project guarantees access to 1.25 miles of extremely high quality spawning and rearing habitat to coho, Chinook, and steelhead through replacement of a 40" diameter culvert which has been determined to be a velocity barrier. The culvert will be replaced by a bridge.
The barrier culvert was replaced with a 40' bridge to allow unimpeded salmonid passage to 1.25 miles of habitat. Approximately 370' of stream channel was recontoured and nine log, boulder or log/boulder structures were intalled.

Green Valley Creek Coho Habitat Enhancement Project - Phase II
Improve instream rearing and spawning habitat for salmonids in a key reach of Green Valley Creek through the installation of 21 large wood structures, designed to increase pool depths (13 created), enhance woody cover and refugia, and promote channel aggradation.
Installed 21 large wood structures along four properties in a key reach of Green Valley Creek, designed to improve salmonid rearing and spawning habitat. Structures are designed to increase the frequency and quality of pools, improve shelter and high flow refugia, and enhance macroinvertebrate populations as a rearing food source. In addition, one cluster of structures (T13-16) was installed specifically to improve spawning conditions.

Designing Removal of a Fish Passage Barrier on the Main Stem of the Napa
This project will produce a final design for removing the last remaining fish barrier on the mainstem Napa River. Removing the barrier will open 14.8 miles of high quality steelhead habitat to fish during medium and low flows.
The final design of the project would remove the existing pedestrian crossing and associated rock slope protection. Complete removal of the structure is the only alternative that would reestablish amore natural and resilient channel form at the site without significantly impacting downstream sections of the channel. The channel profile through the existing crossing would be re-graded to 0.55% which is 1) within thebounds of expected equilibrium slope at the site (0.4% and 1%) and 2) significantly flatter than adjacent riffles downstream of the project site. The project design includes importing streambed material (rounded coarse substrate sized for steelhead spawning) to fill and define the active channel. The project includes installation of five torrent boulder clusters to increase channelbed complexity, provide flow refugia, and increase gravel deposition. The project includes riparian revegetation (wet edge and lower bank plantings) to stabilize temporarily disturbed areas, re-establish a vegetatededge, and increase understory structure. Coir biologs would be installed along the upstream channel margins to help re-establish dense riparian edge plantings where rock slope protection is removed. The project includes installation of a 100 foot clear-span bridge (pedestrian overcrossing) 107 feet downstream of the existing structure. The pedestrian overcrossing will tie into existing pedestrian access pads within Pioneer Park and the City of Calistoga Police Station parking lot.

Grub Creek Fish Habitat Enhancement Project
The proposed project will increase the amount and quality of suitable shelter for salmonids in Grub Creek, a major tributary to Dutch Bill Creek, by adding 12 structures to increase stream complexity, create 12 pools, and add cover.
A total of 12 LWD structures have been installed in the project reach. Streamline Engineering developed the design and provided oversight during the construction process. Large wood material structures utilized trees, logs, root wads, and boulders, in a variety of combinations. Most structures consist of redwood logs measuring 14-24 inches in diameter and 20-50 feet in length, with 1-ton boulders. The structures are constructed of 1 to 5 logs with anchor boulders; up to 5 root wads with logs and boulders. Structures are embedded in the streambed or bank, anchored to existing trees or bedrock, or weighted with imported boulders. Assembly and anchoring use 1 inch all- thread and epoxy. Materials for the structures were moved and structures were assembled using a small excavator, and wherever possible, the excavator operated outside of the active stream channel. Some trees and logs were moved using block and tackle and hand methods.

Mainstem Garcia River Sediment Reduction and Habitat Enhancement Project
Achieve improvement in coho habitat conditions in the mainstem Garcia River, Signal Creek, and Inman Creek through prevention of ~14,257 yd of sediment delivery and instream installation of 2 large redwood rootwads in a Class I reach of lower Inman Creek. 2 pools will be created. Worksite 7210675: Rootwad installation Worksite 7210676: Road segment upgrading, upgrade culver pipe, and upgrade dry armored crossing Worksite 7210677: Dewater slide/gully, road segment and stream crossing decommissioning, stream corssing upgrading, upgrade culver pipe, and upgrade dry armored crossing Worksites 7210678/7210679: Road segment upgrading
Implementation of upgrading and decommissioning treatments to reduce road related sediment delivery to watercourses on roads totaling 7.23 mi in length, and the construction of two large woody debris (LWD) habitat enhancement structures. Road upgrading treatments included individual treatments at 39 features (35 stream crossings, 3 road fill instabilities (potential landslides), and 1 gully) and road drainage treatments along 5 miles of road which threatened to deliver sediment to the Garcia River and its tributaries. Road decommissioning treatments were performed at 18 individual features (15 stream crossings, 2 road fill instabilities, and 1 bank erosion feature), and included rip-ripping and installing road drainage treatments for hydrologic disconnection along 2 miles of road. Future delivery of an estimated 15,645 yd3 of sediment to the Garcia River and its tributaries has been prevented. Two LWD habitat enhancement structures were installed in the mainstem Inman Creek, a coho bearing stream which is a major tributary to the Garcia River.

Adult Coho Redd Surveys and Abundance Estimates in the Lower Klamath
The objectives of this project are to develop a randomized stratified sampling design for all possible coho spawning reaches in the Lower Klamath and sample 20 reaches in the sampling universe annually for three separate age cohorts. 144 miles of stream will be monitored.
Redd surveys were conducted in tributaries of the Lower Klamath River Subbasin from winter 2014-15 through winter 2016-17. California Monitoring Plan protocol and analytical methods were used to provide estimates of adult coho and Chinook salmon populations. The total Chinook redd estmate was 135 with a 95% Confidence Interval of 34-260. The coho redd estimate was 32 with a 95% CI of 9-84. Few coho salmon redds, live fish and carcasses were found during the surveys. The grantee believes that coho salmon were not very common in the lower Klamath during the survey period and that high flows, limited access, and reduced visibility made it difficult to detect coho salmon or their redds. They feel that juvenile counts may be a better means of assessing trends in coho salmon distribution and abundancein the lower Klamath. .

Genetic based capture-recapture estimation of coho salmon escapement
1)Use genetic based Capture-recapture (CR) to estimate spawning escapement for adult and smolt/fry coho salmon populations in Freshwater Creek (Humboldt Bay) and Mill Creek (Smith River) using spawning ground surveys and juvenile outmigrant trapping 2) Validate genetic based estimate of escapement to traditional weir-carcass CR. 2 worksites will be monitored over 47 miles of stream for adult and smolt/fry. The same work will be conducted at both sites.
A genetic parentage-based application of the traditional mark-recapture method was developed which shows promise a a non-invasive method for estimating coho salmon escapement. Estimates of total escapement of adult coho salmon developed by the genetic mark-recapture method compared well with estimates obtained through the traditional mark-recapture method in Freshwater Creek (Humboldt Bay). The total escapement estimated for two years in Mill Creek (Smith River) were plausible based on estimates derived from spawner surveys. While the genetic mark recapture method holds promise, the methodology for development of confidence intervals for the escapement estimates and some aspects of the genetic parentage analysis need more work before the technique can be used widely.

McGarvey Creek Coho Salmon Life Cycle Monitoring Station
The objective of this project is to operate a three- year Life Cycle Monitoring station (LCM) to assess adult abundance, smolt abundance, and non-natal abundance for coho populations in McGarvey Creek, a tributary to the Lower Klamath River. 6 sites will be monitored over 4 stream miles.
Spawner surveys, outmigrant trapping, and PIT tagging & detection using antenna arrays were used to monitor coho and Chinook production over a three year period. Small numbers of redds and adult spawning coho were observed each season, likely due to low number of coho spawning in this lower Klamath tributary. With the aid of PIT antenna arrays, a comparison was made between spring and fall emigration rates. The appreciable levels of fall emigration and the non-natal rearing make it difficult to link juvenile and adult abundance. Juvenile production is usefult to determine changes in survival with restoration practices.

Arroyo Grande Creek Stream Gauge Modification Project
The project entails the modification of the existing concrete platform of the Arroyo Grande Creek Gaging Station to provide passage for migrating steelhead trout to 3.3 miles of critical habitat.
This project was supposed to modify an instream barrier that would allow unimpeded access to the upper part of the Arroyo Grande River. Due to a higher than expected sub-contractor bid, CCSE was not able to fill a budget shortfall. $35,794.44 was spent on pre-construction surveys, permit requirements, time spent on obtaining bids from supply vendors, and coordination meetings with private, local, state and federal representatives.

Fish Passage Improvements at Memorial County Park, San Mateo County
The Project modifies the two remaining barriers to fish passage on Pescadero Creek to improve migration conditions for coho and steelhead at the seasonal dam and Sequoia Flat Crossing. 98 miles of stream will be made accessible. The dam will be modified to create a v-notch that will provide a deep channel for fish passage. The current vehicle ford will be demolished and replaced with a pre-cast 15 foot wide Conspan open bottom low concrete arch.
Sequoia Flat crossing replaced by pre-cast 15-foot wide arched culverts per specs. Memorial Park concrete swim dam removed. During construction of the notch, it was discovered that the dam was hollow and had shallow foundations which made its complete removal necessary. After consultation with CDFW and other project stakeholders it was determined that the majority of the dam structure should be removed. All of the concrete in the channel bottom was removed and the channel was returned to its natural substrate. No concrete was left that could be exposed in the bottom of the channel and thereby eliminating any possible future grade control. The only concrete left in the channel were the left and right abutments that were securely and deeply attached to the local bed rock. Removing these would have left a large scar in the channel bank and potentially increased the potential for bank erosion. These concrete abutments were removed to the greatest extent possible so that they would generally be flush with the existing channel bank slopes. As such the dam has been effectively removed for the channel and the channel will be able to fluctuate vertically in a natural manner.

Temporal monitoring of steelhead and coho salmon effective size

Installed 35 instream log structures including 251 pieces of large wood/root wads along with small woody debris over 2 miles of stream. 2500 plants were planted. 580 feet of aquatic habitat was disturbed. 13 pools were created through structure placement.

Redwood Creek LWD/Pool Improvement Project
The purpose of this project is to supplement ongoing efforts to provide short-term and long-term benefits to coho salmon through placement of LWD to enhance pools, increase gravel sorting and provide habitat complexity; addition of SWD will provide cover.
In 2013, 28 pieces of LWD were used to install five LWD structures. 0.5 miles of stream was treated with 3 pools being created. 69.3 feet of aquatic habitat was disturbed. After conferring with the grantee we decided that constructing 5 structures with the same amount of logs proposed would provide more value than making smaller structures. 5 structures were built instead of the 7 proposed (one of these structures was rather long and could have been split up into two sites for reporting but we decided to lump it since they were so close together).

Ten-Mile River Coho Off-Channel Habitat Design

Lower Eel and Van Duzen Rivers Salmonid Spatial Structure Project
Monitor the population spatial structure of coho in the Lower Eel and Van Duzen rivers over a three year period by dive surveys conducted on a rotating panel of random and spatially dispersed sample reaches, and report as a component of the Coastal M.P.
The project conducted mask and snorkel surveys in the summer of 2013 through 2016 in order to estimate the spatial structure of coho salmon in the lower Eel River and Van Duzen River. Generalized Random Tessellation Stratified was used to randomly order sample reaches for survey frame, and one third of the reaches were surveyed annually. Counts of salmonids were identified to categories based on size and physical appearance. Data was collected and stored in an access database compatible with the statewide data format fro coastal salmonid monitoring program projects. In total, 211 surveys were conducted in 163 reaches. Coho salmon were detected in 22 of the 163 reaches located in 13 different streams.An amendment was applied to this grant due to drought conditions influencing the distribution of fish and habitat, making it impossible to complete all surveys, and to accurately estimate the spatial structure of salmonids. Adding 11 months provided additional data collection and a more accurate estimate of spatial structure.

Neefus Gulch Coho Habitat Enhancement Project
Install 15 large wood (LWD) and boulder structures along a 0.4 mile reach based on a 2011 DFG Stream Inventory and NOAA CCC Coho Recovery Plan. Conduct juvenile salmonid distribution surveys in the summer, fall and winter spawner surveys for adult dist.
Installed 19 instream structures including 46 pieces of LWD and root wads. Pulled oversteepend banks back and installed willow revetmen at one section of streambank to stabillize streambank and prevent 10 cubic yards from entereing Neefus Gulch. The culvert to bridge portion of this project was not included in the final funding of this project. Utilization of coho within the section of stream above the culvert was in question due to the lack of biological monitoring information. For this reason and because there is a dam within a few thousand feet of the culvert, only the LWD and monitoring portions of this proposal were funded. Approximately 100' of over-steepened streambank will be pulled back with material removed from the active channel zone and stabilized.

Coastal Mendocino County Salmonid Life Cycle and Regional Monitoring
We request funds to continue FRGP funded Coastal Salmon Monitoring Plan life cycle and regional escapement monitoring in Mendocino County, to evaluate regional habitat monitoring, DIDSON cameras, and add life cycle monitoring in the Navarro River.
The project collected, summarized, and analyzed data for three and a half years of fish population monitoring in salmonid-bearing rivers of Mendocino County. Monitoring included: adult, smolt/fry, redd, and carcass. Monitoring was conducted via surveys (redds, carcasses) and by using spawner/redd ratios from already monitored watersheds which provides an estimate of fish numbers. Coho escapement estimates were calculated streams and rivers where annual spawning ground surveys were made. Life cycle monitoring data from complete stations on two streams (Pudding Creek and S.F. Noyo R.) provided estimates of coho productivity (recruits per spawner), smolt abundance, and smolt to adult survival. Smolt abundance estimates were made in three other streams where downstream migrant traps and spawning ground surveys were conducted.

To develop a conceptual design plan to restore Trancas Lagoon and upstream fish passage (21 acres) based on necessary background studies and stakeholder input.
This project engineered a design to restore Trancas Lagoon and upstream fish passage (21 acres). The design will be implemented in the future and will improve the value of lagoons and estuaries as a juvenile rearing habitat?mportant nursery areas for steelhead prior to their emigration into the ocean; the project will improve fish passage as outlined in CDFW's Steelhead Management and Restoration Plan; restored its approximate former size and developed solutions for the improvement of the section in Trancas Creek passage through the identified keystone barrier?t will provide access for the anadromous adults to the high quality habitat found upstream.

Fortuna Boulevard's Strongs Creek Culvert Replacement
1 project will be proposed to improve fish passage within the lower reach of Strongs Creek, benefiting access to upstream habitat by removing a barrier to fish passage. Designs will be produced for 3 alternative solutions for allowing fish passage.
100% engineered design drawings and memorandum were completed in February of 2015. Document Name: 'Fish Passage Improvement Project at South Fortuna Boulevard'. The two main constraints on the project were that designs could not result in a rise in the FEMA Base Flood Elevation (i.e., no rise in water surface elevation) and installing a new bridge was financially infeasible. Through a lengthy, iterative process, engineers came up with the best alternative to improve upstream fish passage for adult and juvenile salmonids. Some fish passage design criteria for both adult and juvenile salmonids could not be met due to project constraints. The hydraulic engineer, Michael Love, submitted information to NOAA engineer, Margaret Tauzer, to explain the variance to meeting all fish passage criteria.

Upper and Lower Redwood Cr Juvenile Salmonid (Smolt) Abundance Project
This study will provide information regarding population abundances of coho and Chinook salmon and steelhead trout smolts in the Redwood Creek basin by conducting downstream migrant trapping at river mile 4. Project proponents intend to conduct this study for over 20 years to fully encompass biological and environmental variability within the watershed. The study includes determining baseline and status/trend information for coho salmon, Chinook salmon, and steelhead trout that can be used to identify factors limiting species recovery and identify restoration needs in the basin.
The Lower Redwood Creek Juvenile Salmonid Abundance Project provided results of downstream migrant trapping for 3 years and developed estimates of juvenile abundance for Chinook and coho salmon as well as steelhead and cutthroat trout. Data presented is from the Lower downstream migrant trap, only. The upper trap was not funded by this grant since coho salmon juveniles (the focus species in this funding cycle) are rare to absent in the upper river (worksite 7210568). Abundance monitoring was conducted for smolt/fry. Downstream migrant trapping at the Upper Redwood Creek site was removed from the project funding for this grant since coho salmon juveniles are rare to absent from this part of the river.

North Coast Restoration Monitoring and Evaluation Program
Under DFG direction, conduct effectiveness and validation monitoring of a randomized selection of FRGP habitat restoration projects in the North Coast Hydrologic Region. Assist DFG grant managers in pre-treatment and implementation monitoring.
Project covered two years of FRGP restoration project monitoring and reporting to the US Army Corps of Engineers and National Marine Fisheries Service and Regional Water Quality Control Board regarding implemented project performance and any fish relocation per permit and authorization conditions. Project site conditions were compared prior to project implementation and then at least one to two winters post-implementation to assess project effectiveness and durability for over 10 percent of the on-the-ground projects initiated each year. Validation monitoring, which involved snorkel diving and spawner surveys for instream habitat enhancement and fish passage remediation projects were also carried out. Some areas treated with instream structures exhibited an increase in coho and/or steelhead juvenile density. Several complete barriers were successfully remediated to allow spawning adult passage as evidenced by the presence of redds and juvenile fish.

Distribution and abundance of coho salmon in the Smith river, California.
Continue to implement a long-term population abundance and spatial structure monitoring program for coho salmon in the Smith River core population unit as defined by the DFG coastal salmonid monitoring plan and the NOAA coho salmon recovery plan.
Monitored adult salmonid escapement and distribution for three consecutive years (2013-2016) using live fish, carcass, and redd counts as defined in California's Coastal Salmonid Monitoring Plan. Monitored juvenile salmonid and adult cutthroat trout spatial structure using multiple-pass snorkel surveys in an occupancy modeling framework. Both adult and juvenile monitoring methodologies utilized methods and sampling frameworks previously customized for, and implemented in, the Smith River basin under a previous FRGP grant (grant number P1010504) during 2011-2013. Used two unbiased sample frames tailored specifically to identify stagebased coho salmon habitats that were verified in the field. Each sample frame was divided into survey reaches resulting in 161.8 kilometers (100.5 miles) of stream habitat (68 reaches, 30 sub-reaches) for the adult sample frame and 298.1 kilometers (185.2 miles) of stream habitat (126 reaches, 40 sub-reaches) for the juvenile spatial structure sample frame.

Steelhead Spawning Gravel Enhancement - Below Los Padres Dam
Increase spawning habitat below Los Padres Dam (LPD) up to 50% by replacing gravels trapped behind LPD for the past 60 years. Enhancement will improve spawning by supporting up to 200 additional redds as well as rearing/BMI habitat in 5 miles of stream.
The project enhanced adult steelhead spawning and juvenile steelhead rearing habitat downstream of Los Padres Dam, by placing 1,500 tons imported gravel downstream of the dam. The goal was to increase the amount of available spawning and rearing habitat by approximately 50% up to five miles downstream of the dam, in the mainstem Carmel River between the Los Padres Dam and San Clemente Dam (now reroute channel). This was accomplished by purchasing gravel and delivering it to the site in the Carmel River downstream of Los Padres Dam. Surveys to monitor gravel dispersal and biological conditions were conducted annually.

Mirabel Dam Modifications for Improved Fish Passage
Modify an existing water diversion structure (Mirabel Inflatable Dam) to improve fish passage. The project will improve attractive flows to a new fish structure, eliminating delays in fish passage due to sub-optimal flow conditions.
This project modified an existing water diversion structure (Mirabel Inflatable Dam) to improve fish passage. The project improved attractive flows to a new fish passage structure, eliminating delays in fish passage due to sub-optimal flow conditions, unattractive flow conditions over the Dam and eliminated the need to alter Dam inflation to accommodate fish passage. This project addressed the above goal by installing a new vertical slot fish ladder and fish screen that provides an attractive flow of 65 cubic feet per second (cfs), which is much greater than the previous 25 cfs through the former right bank Denil ladder. Additional attractive flows within the pump intake structure are shunted to the bottom of the ladder for additional attractive flows at approximately 135 cfs. This project improved access for coho salmon to an estimated 462.3 miles of anadromous habitat in the Russian River basin. Upon review, the reported proposed miles made accessible were found to be based a hydrologic layer, which likely exaggerated the miles of anadromous distribution above the dam. The actual miles reported are likely a minimum estimate, but are based on recognized steelhead distribution above the dam.

Middle Van Duzen River Phase 10 Upslope Restoration Project
This project will upgrade and storm proof 143 future sediment delivery features and associated hydrologically connected road reaches along 18.37 miles of forest and ranch roads resulting in the prevention of 6,202 yd3 of sediment entering streams.
Erosion control and prevention treatments occurred along approximately 16.04 mi of inner gorge, streamside, midslope and upper hillslope roads. Upgraded 13.7 mi and decommissioned 2.34 mi of road precluding delivery of 17,045 cubic yards of sediment. The Phase 10 Gunlock sites are not located on the Y.E.S. members land and could not be treated. This resulted in $20,243 that could not be spent. The Lost Prairie Road was broken into two distinct segments with access to the second reach blocked by an active landslide. This resulted in sites #1770 through #1775 not being treated. We have not run the numbers to calculate the cost savings here. The equipment crew operated with an efficiency that resulted in completing the work under budget. Some of the actual equipment cost came in below the proposed bill-out rate, and that also resulted in a small percentage of the budget surplus.

San Gregorio Watershed: Assessing Instream Flows
To assess and identify critical instream flows in the San Gregorio Creek Watershed that sustain anadromous fish, contact landowners about changing the timing of diversions and off-stream storage, that help meet the instream flow needs.
One task accomplished involved engaging the existing San Gregorio Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and Watershed Working Group (WWG) in project activities. Under the project, these technical and stakeholder groups met regularly to assist and advise the project team in the instream flow assessment and water rights transfer activities described in other tasks. Another task was to assess instream flow in the watershed and map habitat to enable DFW to identify critical instream flow requirements and priority reaches. This task involved collecting habitat data over three additional flows at all three reaches studied in the EPA-funded Phase 1, as well as adding a fourth study reach area at which habitat data was also collected over three flows to determine suitable habitat area for key life stages of steelhead and Coho salmon. Sites were mapped over a range of spring and summer flows that are available in San Gregorio Creek and the instream flow assessment found that habitat in San Gregorio Creek appears to be generally abundant for spawning, fry, and age-0 juveniles. However, during years when summer flows decrease to less than 1cfs, pools within localized reaches become intermittent and unsuitable for steelhead and coho salmon, and clearly limit potential production and flows that support movement among habitat units become insufficient as they drop to less than 4 cfs (which commonly occurs under existing conditions in late summer). Six cfs is a more protective juvenile fish passage flow.The third task completed was a PHABSIM model that used 15 transects calibrated at three flows. The PHABSIM analysis showed that increasing minimum summer flows in the mainstem of San Gregorio creek from 1 cfs to 4 cfs is expected to double total available age-1+ juvenile habitat. In comparison, the habitat mapping (HCM)analysis showed that the same increase in summer flows would more than triple available age-1+ juvenile habitat. The final task was a review of existing water rights.
