Napa River Restoration: Oakville to Oak Knoll, Group D: Sites 1, 2A, 2B, 3, 4, 4A, 4B, 7, 9, 10, and the “Neverbend” site; (Streambed Alteration Agreement No. 1

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has executed Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement number 1600-2019-0425-R3, pursuant to section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the project Applicant, Richard Thomasser/ Napa County Department of Public Works. The project will restore and enhance long-term floodplain function of the Napa River, improve the quality of aquatic and riparian habitat, and reduce fine sediment deposition into the Napa River associated with ongoing bank erosion. This project is the last project of the Napa River Restoration – Oakville to Oaknoll Reach. The project will likely be conducted in two phases over a two-year period. Phase 1 will likely occur in 2020 and consist of Sites 10, 9, 7, 4, 4B, and 3. The remainder of the sites (i.e. Sites 4A, 2A, 2B, Neverbend, and 1) will likely be constructed in 2021. Restoration activities that will be completed at each site include: channel widening and floodplain terrace creation; in-channel habitat enhancement structures (e.g. boulder clusters, boulder fields, large rootwad habitat structures, topple wood structures, tree habitat structures, live pole habitat structures, brush mats); seasonal wetland creation; vegetation management (e.g. invasive species removal); and native plant revegetation.
