Document Description
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has executed Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement EPIMS Notification No. EPIMS-MEN-47133-R1C, pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to Sanctuary Forest. The project will result in the construction of alcoves, creation of a multi-threaded channel complex, installation of large wood features, removing some red alders (Alnus rubra) and willow (Salix spp.), and revegetation with native species. The newly constructed alcoves will be tidally influenced and will provide important off-channel habitat for salmonids and other native species. Large wood features will be installed in the alcoves and revegetated with native sedges and rushes. The multi-threaded channel will be created by excavating and removing gravel that was deposited during a 1965 flood event. The multi-threaded channel will also be tidally influenced and will provide additional off-channel habitat. Accelerated recruitment techniques will be used to secure wood in the mainstem of the South Fork Ten Mile River by pinning logs between riparian trees and vertical log anchors that will be vibrated into the streambed.
