Document Description
The Southern Sonoma County Resource Conservation District and Sonoma County Water Agency (Zone 2A) are proposing a vegetation management/flood conveyance project on Lichau Creek through the unincorporated community of Penngrove in Sonoma County. The proposed project will help to improve the riparian zone, stabilize eroding streambanks, and improve the flood flow capacity, thereby alleviating the frequency of flooding of roads, adjacent land, businesses, and residences in this area. The SSCRCD proposes to selectively (using hand tools) thin or remove trees (mainly young Arroyo willows) that impede the flow of water in the main channel of the creek. The primary focus will be removing trees growing on the channel bottom, and selectively thinning and climbing trees growing on the channel banks. Red Willow cuttings and Cottonwood seedlings will be planted in openings along 4,500 foot reach to enhance native riparian vegetation.
