Iron Horse Vineyards Fish Screen Implementation Project

The Iron Horse Fish Screen Implementation Project installed a traveling belt fish screen on a previously unscreened water diversion intake at Iron Horse Vineyards along Green Valley Creek in Sonoma County, California. The project was constructed in accordance with the design, as documented in the projects as-built report. Project implementation has resulted in an effectively screened diversion intake for licensed diversion on Green Valley Creek. The traveling belt screen protects aquatic organisms and juvenile salmonids rearing in the reach adjacent to the diversion from being pulled into the intake.


FY18/FY19/FY20 funds spent within appropriate award windows.

Successful project implementation will result in an effectively screened diversion intake for the Iron Horse diversion on Green Valley Creek. This will prevent juvenile fish rearing in the reach adjacent to the diversion from being pulled into the intake and reduce or eliminate mortality presumed to be occurring because of the diversion.
