Document Description
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), South Yuba River Citizen’s League (SYRCL), Yuba Water Agency (YWA), and Yuba County have proposed the Upper Rose Bar Salmonid Spawning Habitat Restoration Project (Proposed Action) to rehabilitate and enhance spawning habitat for Central Valley (CV) fall run and spring run Chinook Salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) and California Central Valley (CCV) Steelhead (O. mykiss) in the Yuba River downstream of Englebright Dam. The Proposed Action design, permitting and pre-Proposed Action monitoring was funded by the Prop 1 - Watershed and Delta Ecosystem Restoration Grant Program and directly addresses CDFW restoration priorities by improving water quality and working to implement the salmon spawning and rearing habitat and riparian floodplain habitat objectives that exist within the State Wildlife Action Plan, the Sacramento Valley Salmon Resilience Strategy, and the California Biodiversity initiative. In addition, this Proposed Action will reduce the impacts of a changing climate by creating more spawning and rearing habitat within an area that supports spring run Chinook Salmon. The Proposed Action would also directly address the doubling goal of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Anadromous Fish Restoration Program (AFRP), the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) priority action YUR-2.4 to create and restore off-channel spawning areas in the Yuba River for CV Chinook Salmon and CCV Steelhead (NMFS 2014), and test hypotheses regarding the response of adult salmonids to restored spawning habitats.
