San Joaquin River Restoration Program - SCARF and Related Management Actions Project

San Joaquin River Restoration Program - SCARF and Related Management Actions Project

Note: Final 1 HC 1 CD The primary purpose of the Salmon Conservation and Research Facility (SCARF) is to produce Chinook salmon for reintroduction to the San Joaquin River. The SCARF also would serve as a research facility for studies related to Chinook salmon in the San Joaquin River Restoration Program Restoration Area. The SCARF would provide CDFW with the ability to use relatively small numbers of Chinook salmon eggs and juveniles collected from various donor populations to develop a broodstock. This broodstock would enable CDFW to produce a conservation stock that is genetically diverse, while minimizing impacts to source populations. The SCARF would include structures, a parking area, water supply and wastewater systems, drainage and stormwater management, an access road, up to two staff residences, and other ancillary improvements.
