Description

Produced a detailed erosion control and prevention plan that protects and improves salmonid habitat by preventing controllable erosion and sedimentation, and eliminating migration barriers. To accomplish this objective, an erosion inventory and assessment of 176 miles of mostly abandoned forest roads in the Usal Creek watershed was completed. “Usal Forest Watershed Action Plan for Coho Recovery in the Usal Creek Watershed, Mendocino County, California” by Pacific Watershed Associates

Project Benefit

Produce a detailed erosion control and prevention plan that protects and improves salmonid habitat by preventing controllable erosion and sedimentation, and eliminating migration barriers. Evaluation of any crossings on Class I streams for potential fish barriers. Addressing these will provide direct quantifiable benefits to the anadromous fish populations in Usal Creek.
