Description

Grant was closed early due to the inability of the grantee to obtain land owner access agreements to allow access to stands of Arundo high in the watershed. Grantee was unable to complete deliverable within specified time identified in the grant contract. Grantee completed plant removal of 66 stands in the summer of 2012 and 2013. 16 stands were untreated due to the inability to obtain landowner access to upstream stands. Proposed metrics with a value of 0 indicate that values were unknown during the proposal process.

Project Benefit

The objective of this project is to remove Arundo donax from strategic reaches of Pismo Creek watershed in order to improve steelhead habitat.
