<P align=left>continue after irrigation season ends. This project would be an
extension of the Scott River Water Trust.</P>
<P align=left>Chinook can enter Scott Valley when the USGS gage is at 25-30
cubic feet per second (cfs). These flows</P>
<P align=left>shall be achieved through use of alternative sources for watering
stock or reimbursing operations for not</P>
<P align=left>diverting stock water. This project will make agreements that will
secure up to 7 cfs for instream benefit in</P>
<P align=left>the Scott River watershed after irrigation season for up to 75

<P align=left>Cold Creek Fish Passage Improvement Project</P></B></FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>
<P align=left>Cold Creek is a tributary to Bogus Creek which is known to be a
major spawning and rearing tributary for</P>
<P align=left>steelhead, coho and Chinook salmon in the mainstem Klamath River.
There is a seasonal diversion</P>
<P align=left>located on Cold Creek that is currently impeding movement of
juvenile salmonids during the summer</P>
<P align=left>months. This project would relocate the existing diversion
approximately 200 feet upstream; install a</P>
<P align=left>screen and bypass channel; a pipe to transfer water; construct a
boulder weir that will also provide fish</P>
<P align=left>passage; and install a head gate/measuring
weir.</P></FONT><B><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<P align=left>Seiad Creek Fish Screen Project</P></B></FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
<P align=left>Seiad Creek is an important fisheries tributary to the mainstem
Klamath River. This project is to install fish</P>
<P align=left>screens at four unscreened diversions on Seiad
Creek.</P></FONT><B><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<P align=left>Ti Creek Channel Restoration Project</P></B></FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>
<P align=left>In the 1964 flood, the lower half mile of Ti Creek was severely
degraded as the creek diverted into a new</P>
<P align=left>high gradient channel, impeding coho and steelhead passage to
approximately four miles of anadromous</P>
<P align=left>fish habitat upstream. This project would design, engineer and
implement channel restoration by</P>
<P align=left>restoring the creek to its historic low gradient channel,
including side channel pool habitat critical for</P>
<P align=left>juvenile salmonids over-summering in Middle Klamath River
refugia.</P></FONT><B><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<P align=left>Crawford Creek Fish Ladder</P></B></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<P align=left>This project would install a fish ladder with baffles to provide
anadromous fish passage above the</P>
<P align=left>Highway 96 cement box culvert on Crawford Creek. This project
would open up 3,100 feet of low</P>
<P align=left>gradient habitat for coho and steelhead.</P></FONT><B><FONT

<P align=left>Tectah Creek Instream Restoration Creek</P></B></FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>
<P align=left>Tectah Creek, a tributary to the Lower Klamath River, supports
populations of coho salmon, fall-run</P>
<P align=left>Chinook salmon, steelhead, cutthroat trout, and other
non-anadromous species. Habitat within Tectah</P>
<P align=left>Creek has been substantially degraded from legacy land management
practices that have resulted in</P>
<P align=left>increased sedimentation, clearance of large woody debris (LWD)
from the stream channel, and harvest of</P>
<P align=left>LWD that would naturally be recruited to the stream. The result
has been the minimization of habitat</P>
<P align=left>complexity within the stream; complexity essential to support
viable populations of anadromous</P>
<P align=left>salmonids. The purpose of this project is to increase habitat
complexity within the stream channel,</P>
<P align=left>primarily by introducing LWD to increase the overall diversity of
habitat as well as to stimulate scour to</P>
<P align=left>remove fine sediment from lower portions of the stream.</P>

<P align=left>Little Horse Creek Culvert Replacement</P></B></FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>
<P align=left>The existing culvert at the China Grade Road crossing on Little
Horse Creek was severely damaged in</P>
<P align=left>the 2006 flood. It is still 80% plugged and needs to be replaced
by a bridge or an open bottom arch</P>
<P align=left>culvert. This project would open up approximately one mile of coho
and steelhead habitat.</P></FONT><B><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<P align=left>Marble Mountain Ranch Water Conservation
Project</P></B></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<P align=left>Marble Mountain Ranch diverts up to 3.5 cfs from Stanshaw Creek
for the purposes of hydropower</P>
<P align=left>generation, domestic use and irrigation. Stanshaw Creek is a cold
water tributary that possess excellent</P>
<P align=left>habitat/refugia at the confluence. This project seeks to reduce
diversion volume through piping the entire</P>
<P align=left>diversion. This project will also convert from flood to
pressurized irrigation to reduce diversion demand.</P>
<P align=left>More efficient hydro-systems and/or return the diverted water
volume used for hydro-power to Stanshaw</P>
<P align=left>Creek above the anadromous reach shall be explored. The project
shall begin with an investigation in</P>
<P align=left>existing conditions/demands and review of alternatives resulting
in a selected alternative for installation.</P>
<P align=left>In order to provide benefit this project will have to maintain a
minimum 1.5 cfs stream flow at Highway 96</P>
<P align=left>either by conservation or returning flow after hydro-generation
use.</P></FONT><B><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<P align=left>Unscreened Diversions on the Shasta River Mainstem and Parks
Creek</P></B></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<P align=left>Install fish screens at unscreened diversions located on the
Shasta River and on Parks Creek in Siskiyou</P>
<P align=left>County. This project calls for the installation of fish screens on
the three remaining unscreened diversions</P>
<P align=left>on Parks Creek and one major unscreened diversion known to exist
on the Shasta River. The Shasta</P>
<P align=left>River provides critical habitat for adult and juvenile salmonids.
Parks Creek is an important cold water</P>
<P align=left>tributary to the Shasta River and provides valuable rearing
habitat for fisheries in the watershed.</P></FONT><B><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<P align=left>Fort Goff Creek Grade Control / Baffles</P></B></FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>
<P align=left>The existing culvert at the Highway 96 crossing on Fort Goff Creek
is a barrier. Fish passage for coho</P>
<P align=left>and steelhead could be restored to four miles of high quality
habitat by creating grade control structures</P>
<P align=left>below the culvert and/or baffles in the culvert. This project
would provide grade control and/or install</P>
<P align=left>baffles at the new structure.</P></FONT><B><FONT face=Arial

<P align=left>Fish Passage Through Diversion Improvement in the Scott River
Watershed</P></B></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<P align=left>This project would eliminate at least 12 fish barriers in the
Scott River watershed (within over summering</P>
<P align=left>sites). All sites shall be located within stream reaches currently
used by Chinook and/or coho salmon and</P>
<P align=left>shall be considered the highest priority diversion sites to be
reconfigured. This project would provide fish</P>
<P align=left>passage either by re-profiling the diversion ditch, conversion of
the diversion structure to one that</P>
<P align=left>provides fish passage, or changing/adding the point of diversion.
Priority sites proposed for this project</P>
<P align=left>are on the following streams: Scott River (3 sites), Shackleford
Creek (2 sites), French Creek (3 sites),</P>
<P align=left>East Fork (2 sites), Etna Creek (1 site), Big Slough (1
site).</P></FONT><B><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<P align=left>Rail Creek Fish Passage</P></B></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<P align=left>Rail Creek, tributary to the East Fork of the Scott River is a
steelhead and coho stream. A reservoir levee</P>
<P align=left>established in 1964 prevents fish passage on Rail Creek. This
project shall provide fish passage that will</P>
<P align=left>allow access to 0.9 miles of cold water anadromous habitat located
above the reservoir to coho and</P>
<P align=left>steelhead. The project will also incorporate a diversion ditch
(Rail Creek ditch) into the proposed fish</P>
<P align=left>passage channel design and install a fish screen on the ditch that
meets DFG/NOAA fish screening</P>
<P align=left>criteria. The ditch (up to 8.0 cfs) will be piped 1,700’ to the
point of use to reduce diversion volume to</P>
<P align=left>E4</P>
<P align=left>provide more flow to the fish passage channel (ensuring at least
1.0 cfs in fish passage channel during</P>
<P align=left>low flow period). The fish passage channel will allow adult and
juvenile access.</P></FONT><B><FONT face=Arial size=2>

<P align=left>The existing culvert at the Highway 96 crossing on Ullathorne
Creek is a barrier to all anadromous fish</P>
<P align=left>species and life stages and is blocking approximately one mile of
high quality cold water habitat. This</P>
<P align=left>project would install a fish ladder leading up to the culvert and
baffles in the existing culvert to prevent a</P>
<P align=left>velocity barrier at higher flows.</P></FONT><B><FONT face=Arial

<P align=left>Stanshaw Creek Fish Ladder</P></B></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<P align=left>The existing culvert at the Highway 96 crossing on Stanshaw Creek
is currently blocking one mile of</P>
<P align=left>steelhead habitat above the culvert. This project would install a
fish ladder below the culvert and install</P>

passage.</P></FONT><B><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<P align=left>Scott River Tributary Gaging Program</P></B></FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>
<P align=left>Stream flow gages have been in operation on various tributaries to
the Scott River since 2002 (East Fork,</P>
<P align=left>South Fork, Kidder Cr., Shackleford Cr, and Mill Creek). A gage
was installed in another key tributary</P>
<P align=left>(Sugar Creek) in 2005. These gages provide valuable stream flow
data needed for the development of a</P>
<P align=left>Scott River Water Balance Model, verification of the Water Trust
and other water conservation programs.</P>
<P align=left>These gages were originally installed by the California Department
of Water Resources (CDWR) and the</P>
<P align=left>U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). In 2005 the RCD took over
operation of the three gages</P>
<P align=left>installed by the USFWS, and plans to continue operation as long as
funds can be secured. The three</P>
<P align=left>remaining gages (East Fork, South Fork, and Kidder) are still
being operated by the CDWR. However,</P>
<P align=left>budget limitations annually put the gages in jeopardy, and the
gages are some times shut down for</P>
<P align=left>E5</P>
<P align=left>periods of time. During the water master season of 2006, the RCD
and CDWR have been cooperating to</P>
<P align=left>keep those gages in operation. This project would provide funding
to operate these gages.</P></FONT><B><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<P align=left>Shackleford Creek Confluence Restoration</P></B></FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>
<P align=left>Shackleford Creek is a prolific tributary to the Scott River that
provides excellent spawning and rearing</P>
<P align=left>habitat (estimated 11 miles of anadromy). The Scott River
confluence with Shackleford Creek is located</P>
<P align=left>at the base of Scott Valley, making the stream excellent potential
refugia for fish in the Scott River</P>
<P align=left>seeking cold water during summer months. The limiting factor is
that the confluence of Shackleford</P>
<P align=left>Creek disconnects due to a gravel bar deposited at the mouth.</P>
<P align=left>Shackleford Creek enters the Scott River perpendicular to flow.
During high flow the streams negate</P>
<P align=left>each other’s velocities and bed load deposits at the mouth in the
low flow channel. This project would</P>
<P align=left>allow/encourage Shackleford Creek to run parallel to the Scott
River for a reach, and then connect after a</P>
<P align=left>downstream meander (five feet of fall). The realignment would
allow both Shackleford Creek and the</P>
<P align=left>Scott River to the flow parallel with each other, eliminating the
requirement that Shackleford Creek flow</P>
<P align=left>over deposited gravel bar. The realignment would allow an
historically natural channel to be reoccupied</P>
<P align=left>and increase the duration of connectivity of Shackleford Creek
allowing earlier access of adults at a lower</P>
<P align=left>flow volume than currently occurs (about 20 cfs at DWR Shackleford
Gage). The objective with</P>
<P align=left>Shackleford Creek and other cold water contributors is to hold
connectivity with the Scott River to the</P>
<P align=left>period of year (early to mid-July) where the Scott River
temperatures become lethal.</P></FONT><B><FONT face=Arial size=2>

<P align=left>identified the need for a second weir to increase durability of
the new structure. This project is to add</P>
<P align=left>funding to the currently funded project to address new engineering
concerns. This will allow for year</P>
<P align=left>round fish passage where it is currently lost by the first of
August. The area is utilized by Chinook, coho</P>

relocated to the point of use using a</P>
<P align=left>pump system and the irrigation system shall be converted to a
pressurized irrigation during the second</P>
<P align=left>half of the irrigation season. This project would allow the 0.9
cfs of water to stay in the stream for an</P>
<P align=left>additional 0.7 miles (in an area of known Chinook, coho and
steelhead use) and only half of the amount</P>
<P align=left>of water would have to be diverted at the new location under a
