Present Land Use
Land uses in the vicinity include rural development, recreation, agriculture, timber production, hydropower generation, and livestock grazing. The nearest urban uses occur along State Route (SR) 70 in the communities of Oroville, Oak Grove, Palermo, and Biggs. The vegetation communities surrounding the Project area include valley/foothill riparian habitat and riverine habitat.
Document Description
DWR proposes to install a Fish Monitoring Station (Project) on the Lower Feather River to provide information on run-timing, origin (hatchery or natural), and abundance of steelhead and Chinook salmon. Once constructed, the Fish Monitoring Station will be used to meet the NMFS OCAP BO requirements to answer basic life-history and abundance questions that will contribute to improved management of these species. The Project consists of four main components: resistance board weir, upstream passage complex, a PIT tag antenna array, and the solar power system. Construction activities will involve vegetation trimming; construction and installation of the resistance board weir; construction and installation of the upstream passage complex (fish counting chutes, camera boxes, security enclosure, and live trap); installation of the pit tag antenna array; installation of a floodplain junction box; installation of the fenced power and controller area (solar panels, fence, security cameras, and conduit); and installation of warning and directional signage. This project will take approximately 5 weeks to construct and is scheduled to be built between the March- September of 2023.
