Strawberry Creek Restoration, 1994-present
Strawberry Creek Restoration, 1994-present. 1994
The purpose of the Strawberry Creek Restoration project was restore the structure and hydrologic functions of Strawberry Creek by removing vegetation and excavating a channel to re-establish a free-flowing stream and side channels; re-establishing a riparian corridor with native vegetation to assist in the control of invasive plants in and adjacent to the stream channel; replacing culverts that impede fish passage and alter natural hydrologic and geomorphic processes; and eliminating sources of erosion to reduce sediment delivery into the stream. This action is needed to enhance populations of threatened fish species through restoring access to designated critical habitat, improving water quality, and improving biological productivity in stream channels to support non-natal rearing of salmonids. Planning for this project started pre 2009 with a Biological Assessment published in 2009, Geologic Evaluation in 2011, CRAM Wetland Assessment in 2012, NOAA BO in 2013, Army Corps of Engineers permit and NRWQCB Water Quality Permit in 2014, Environmental Assessment in 2014, Monitoring Plan in 2015.
