Document Description
The goals of the Russ Creek and Centerville Slough Restoration Project (Project) include:
? restoring geomorphic and ecosystem function to Centerville Slough and Russ Creek,
? enhancing habitats for native aquatic species, water bird and wildlife species, and
? improving viability and resiliency of agricultural land in and adjacent to the Project Area.
Proposed Project actions include re-establishing the Centerville Slough tidal system by constructing a new Centerville Slough main channel and tributaries subject to full tidal influence, reestablishing hydraulic connectivity between Centerville Slough and upland stream channels that include Russ Creek, Shaw Creek, and other tributaries, and constructing a system of set-back levees to protect adjacent agricultural lands from tidal flooding, Eel River flooding, and dune overwash.
