Title

Lower Putah Creek Salmon Spawning Habitat Enhancement

Description

Operating from the top of bank, a small excavator fitted with a bucket rake/claw attachment will mechanically scarify or rake the creek bottom to a depth of approximately 12-18 inches to loosen cemented gravels. Over the term of this Agreement, scarification will occur at approximately 40 locations along 13 miles impacting approximately 1.5 miles (5 acres) of Putah Creek. If a pre-existing access road is not available, then an excavator will remove vegetation to create a temporary access road. The excavator will not grade or cut the access road and no trees larger than 4-inches in diameter will be removed. Riparian areas disturbed by te excavator will be restored with native grasses, trees and shrubs.
