Document Description
Pursuant to Fish and Game Code section 1652, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife has approved the Kapusta 1a Side Channel Habitat Restoration and Enhancement Project submitted by Western Shasta Resource Conservation District.
The primary purpose of the project is to restore 0.6 acres of functional rearing habitat for juvenile salmonids within the upper Sacramento River watershed by restoring hydrologic connectivity of a historic side channel .The project will remediate the limiting factors of loss of side channel habitat and in-stream cover. This will increase the survival of juvenile salmonids and increase the probability of successful migration downstream. The species likely to benefit this project include, but are not limited, to winter-run Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha); Central Valley spring-run Chinook salmon; fall-run Chinook salmon late fall-run Chinook salmon, and Central Valley steelhead (O. mykiss).
