Document Description
The emergency regulation would add a low-flow restriction between Sept 1 through Apr 30 on the stretch of Eel River from the mouth to Fulmor Road at its paved junction with the south bank of the Eel River. It would also extend the low-flow closure period for a different stretch of the Eel River as well as the Mad River, Mattole River, Redwood Creek, Smith River and Van Duzen River (currently Oct 1 through Jan 31, four months) to Sept 1 through Apr 30 (eight months) and Mendocino, Sonoma, and Marin County coastal streams (currently Oct 1 through Mar 31, six months) to Sept 1 through Apr 30 (eight months). This action is necessary to conserve wild steelhead and salmon populations by protecting as many adult fish as possible.
