Document Description
The purpose of the project is to 1) enhance summer rearing habitat in Peters and Pescadero Creeks for the benefit of endangered coho salmon and threatened steelhead by constructing an auxillary water storage system large enough to allow the Park to operate on stored water and eliminate diversion from Peters Creek from June 15 through October 31, 2) to restore access to 4.48 miles of headwater streams containing critical summer thermal refugia habitat for juvenile salmonids by removing the legacy diversion structure, and 3) to protect juvenile salmonids that may be present during diversion operation by installing a CDFW and NMFS approved fish screen on the Park's existing diversion.
