Presentation Outline System Overview Challenges from a Water Supplier’s Perspective Endangered Species Act and our Biological Opinion Dry Creek –Issues –Solutions

Russian River Watershed Lake PillsburyFacilities – Wohler/MirabelLake SonomaLake Mendocino

Challenges Changes in Potter Valley Project Inflows –Physical Problem –Need to Change Operational Criteria Low-flow Condition Operations –Uncoordinated Diversions –Takes Time to Make then See Flow Adjustments Endangered Species Act –Russian River Biological Opinion

Biological Opinion Request Changes in Russian River Flow Requirements Modify Russian River Estuary Management Modify Diversion Infrastucture at Wohler & Mirabel Continue to Participate in Coho Broodstock Program Address Dry Creek –Simplified –Swift Water –Flow Restrictions

Dry Creek Enhance Salmonid Habitat in Creek Develop Bypass Pipeline Plan Enhance Salmonid Habitat in Tributaries to Dry Creek Lots of Monitoring

Habitat Enhancement Multiple Phases Multiple Goals 5 Tributary Projects 6 Miles of Restoration 8 Sites (Upper, Middle, Lower) Summer and Winter Habitat Bank Stabilization Flow Preservation

Habitat Enhancement Two Study Phases 1) Inventory of Current Conditions Watershed Characteristics Stream Geomorphology Fish Habitat 2) Feasibility Analysis and Conceptual Design

Opportunities ▪ Abundant opportunities for enhancement of pools, riffles, stream banks and creation of off-channel habitats ▪ All areas of interest within historic channel

Habitat Enhancement Before After Dry Creek

Demonstration Project ▪ Willing landowners stepped forward ▪ 1-mile project centered on Lambert Bridge

Upcoming Work ▪ Spring – summer 2010: Detailed feasibility analysis ▪ Fall 2010: Concept designs and ranking of opportunities ▪ Summer 2011: Pilot project implementation Next Steps
