Document Description
Modification of road drainage patterns and treatment of County road sites that are actual, or potential, sources of erosion that have been inventoried using the Five Counties Direct Inventory of Roads and Treatments and determined to have a potential to yield ~ 74,490 yd3 of sediment to municipal/domestic water systems and anadromous streams in the Trinity River watershed including Little Browns Creek (tributary to Weaver Creek), Rush Creek, Hoadley Gulch, Grass Valley Creek, and the Trinity River. The Trinity River and these tributaries have been analyzed during the Trinity County, which serve over 4,000 people. Erosion sources were targeted and prioritized based on their likelihood to deliver sediment, total potential delivery volume, and cost effectiveness of treatments. This project will help to achieve sediment TMDL targets and objectives of the Trinity River Restoration Program, improve drinking water quality, and enhance anadromous fish habitat quality.
