Description    


The purpose of the project was to prepare 100% design, analysis and basis of design report for the 190-acre Bobcat Flat Phase III site. All deliverables were reviewed by CDFW Restoration Engineering and Grant Manager including the 30%, 65%, 90% and 100% Designs, Basis of Design and a Draft Implementation Strategy Report for if/when the Project is implemented.

Project Benefit    


The restoration design for the project will restore mainstem pool-riffle sequences and eliminate the disconnected off-channel habitat features. Restoration will reduce warm predatory habitat and increase coldwater habitat that is desirable for target salmonid and other special-status species.The Project design will also include wetland (0.18 acre), pond (0.33 acre), and side channel features (1.1 miles). These features will increase habitat diversity over a range of flows, connect with new, lowered floodplain surfaces, support riparian habitats, and increase groundwater recharge in and adjacent to the project area.The project will restore up to 64 acres of native, riparian vegetation.

          Description and scope of the plan implemented
          The Coarse Sediment Management Plan for the Lower Tuolumne River proposes restoration including placement of coarse sediment in or along the Lower Tuolumne River below the La Grange Dam, with an emphasis on the upper 25 miles. The purpose of the plan is restoration of the floodplain and channel damaged by gold dredging and gravel/sand mining.
