Description

Only design alternative was completed and a preferred alternative chosen for the Cecchetti Rd crossing barrier which is an Arizona type crossing w/ a culvert. Grant was terminated with the majority of funds not spend due to the County requiring additional surveys/investigations after the design alternative was chosen. Despite the Grantee stating that they were in close communication with the project this information was never provided by the County in time to budget for it.

Project Benefit

Designs will develop a plan to allow access to upstream of Cechetti Road for an increase in spawning and cover for Steelhead.

Description and scope of the plan implemented

NOAA Fisheries listed steelhead as a threatened species in San Luis Obispo County in August 1997. There has been a tremendous decline in the abundance of steelhead due to fish passage limitations, which was historically plentiful throughout the Arroyo Grande Creek watershed. In recent years, steelhead trout have been observed in both the Arroyo Grande Creek and a tributary to Arroyo Grande Creek, Los Berros Creek, exceeding lengths of 28 inches. Young of the year steelhead trout have also been located at the edge water of pools as well. This signifies that despite habitat impairment, the habitat is still producing all age classes of anadromous fish.
