This U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Anadromous Fish Restoration Program grant offers Phase 1 funding for crucial channel habitat restoration efforts in the Englebright Dam Reach and Narrows Reach of the Yuba River, California. The primary purpose is to assess various restoration alternatives, including gravel augmentation and “shot rock” removal, to enhance spawning habitat and overall channel health. Funding will support the development of a comprehensive, reach-level habitat restoration planning document, complete with pre- and post-project monitoring strategies. Additionally, the grant requires the development of conceptual designs for preferred alternatives and the initiation of necessary permits. This foundational work will pave the way for incremental habitat restoration actions as future funding becomes available, ultimately benefiting anadromous fish populations in the lower Yuba River.

| Description: | Phase 1 funding is available through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Anadromous Fish Restoration Program to restore channel habitat in the Englebright Dam Reach (EDR) and Narrows Reach (NR) of the Yuba River (Yuba County), California. Fiscal Year 2011 (Phase 1) funding is to assess restoration alternatives and develop a planning document for the EDR and NR, and develop conceptual designs and initiate permitting for a restoration project. It is anticipated that habitat restoration actions would be incrementally implemented as funding becomes available. The following specific objectives are to be addressed in the proposal: 1. Evaluate multiple alternatives (i.e., in terms of cost-effectiveness, expected longevity, expected benefit to fish, etc.) among various potential habitat restoration activities in the EDR and NR (e.g., increasing spawning habitat through the removal of shot rock, coupled with implementing different frequencies or amounts of gravel augmentation). |
