Stream Condition Monitoring 2006 Analysis for Battle Creek - September 29, 2008

Review of the Steelhead Supplementation Program in Battle Creek - This review reports the Science Panel's findings regarding the Battle Creek Steelhead Supplementation Workshop held on June 14, 2004. The California Bay-Delta Authority sponsored and coordinated this workshop as a follow up to an earlier Science Panel report titled:

Executive Summary (1MB)

Chapter 1 (708 KB) Introduction gives a historical perspective of fish passage improvement in California, and describes FPIP and the efforts to solve "The Problem" outlined in Chapter 2.

Chapter 2 (121 KB) The Problem: Fewer Salmon and Steelhead in the Central Valley describes the historical and current distribution of special-status salmon and steelhead, as well as, the habitat of anadromous fish listed under the Endangered Species Act (critical habitat) and the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (essential fish habitat). It also describes how artificial structures in rivers and streams cause problems for fish passage.(Figures (8.8 MB))

Chapter 3 (603 KB) Existing Habitat Conditions and Status of Fish Populations describes streams identified as priorities for restoration by state and federal agencies. Each stream description addresses potential impediments to anadromous fish migration, historical and current fish population estimates, spawning and rearing habitat conditions for fish, geography, hydrology, water quality, and fisheries and restoration projects. (Figures and Tables (3.6 MB))

Chapter 4 (376 KB) Current Program Activities provides detailed descriptions of restoration projects supported by FPIP, DWR, and other agencies on streams listed in Chapter 3. (Figures and Tables (2.2 MB))

Sacramento Region Multi Species Conservation Strategy Milestones

The Watershed Projects Inventory (WPI) and the California Watershed Project Inventory (CWPI) are part of the comprehensive Natural Resource Project Inventory (NRPI). WPI chronicles past, current and future resource-based restoration, mitigation and conservation projects in or bordering California. WPI focuses on projects that handle multiple resource issues involving several cooperators such as Coordinated Resource Management Plans (CRMPs) and local cooperative conservation efforts.

WPI projects targeting restoration are also included in the California Ecological Restoration Projects Inventory (CERPI) . CERPI focuses on restoration projects and includes additional single-issue efforts that do not qualify as projects in WPI.
