Document Description: Reference SCH # 2003042007 The Boy Scouts of America has requested authorization from the Department of Fish and Game (DFG) to continue the seasonal operation of an on-stream reservoir on the Noyo River in Mendocino County. The project includes seasonal (mid-June through mid-September each year) installation of redwood flashboards and A-frame supports on an existing concrete/bedrock sill in the Noyo River to backup water 4.5 foot deep behind the dam to create a pond of 9.2 acre-feet, including installation of a slide gate weir to control the amount of water passing down a DFG-designer fish ladder. Installation is accomplished with had labor. No heavy equipment is used. No expansion of the existing facility or new construction of any kind is involved in the proposed project. The project has been installed annually since 1951.
