I think it illustrates one of the biggest challenges of the TRRP in that there is such a diversity of opinion of what the “limiting factor for fish production” is, what the Flow Study findings were, what the Record of Decision says, what adaptive management is, and how the ROD should be implemented by the Restoration Program.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>It is easy to forget all the history that happens on large projects like this that span multiple decades. One of the last tasks we had John Elko work on before he retired was to compile a historical chronology of all the restoration projects done by different agencies and entities on the Trinity River. He documented about 207 individual projects just in the 1970-2000 time frame alone. It is too bad that sometimes that we redo or undo something that had already been done or undone solely because people move on and history is forgotten. It is too easy sometimes to move on to the next project or issue before lessons learned from past projects are properly documented.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>All that aside, I just wanted to inform you that Ed Barnes is still alive and well. In fact he would probably take exception to being called ancient. =) We get to see him at the Northern Region Office (used to be called Northern District) Christmas luncheons, and at the occasional retirement party. It is nice to know that all of Ed’s hard work on behalf of the Trinity River is still remembered. DWR is proud of Ed’s legacy of work on the Trinity, and we are proud to continue his work by participating in the TRRP and continuing to work toward improving the Trinity River fisheries.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Take Care,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Curtis Anderson<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Northern Region Office<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Department of Water Resources<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> <a href="mailto:env-trinity-bounces@velocipede.dcn.davis.ca.us">env-trinity-bounces@velocipede.dcn.davis.ca.us</a> <a href="mailto:[mailto:env-trinity-bounces@velocipede.dcn.davis.ca.us]">[mailto:env-trinity-bounces@velocipede.dcn.davis.ca.us]</a> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Kier Associates<br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, April 18, 2012 1:21 PM<br><b>To:</b> 'Frank Emerson'; 'Gail Goodyear'; <a href="mailto:trinityjosh@gmail.com">trinityjosh@gmail.com</a>; <a href="mailto:env-trinity@mailman.dcn.org">env-trinity@mailman.dcn.org</a>; bill weaver at pwa; danny hagans at pac w'shed assoc; whelan gilkerson at pwa; <a href="mailto:amyg@trinityjournal.com">amyg@trinityjournal.com</a>; ryan sundberg at home; <a href="mailto:ahostler.trt@gmail.com">ahostler.trt@gmail.com</a>; Eli Asarian; Jan Derksen; mary claire at home; pat higgins; <a href="mailto:rschrock@usbr.gov">rschrock@usbr.gov</a><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [env-trinity] Trinity Journal- River dwellers share views at Lewiston meeting<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>After that morning rumination about Trinity River gravel vs. DG, I got to wondering if Ed Barnes could possibly still be around (he’d be ancient) – and found this <a href="http://articles.latimes.com/1985-07-24/news/mn-4728_1_governor-feeds-salmon">http://articles.latimes.com/1985-07-24/news/mn-4728_1_governor-feeds-salmon</a>, a 1985 piece about Governor Deukmejian visiting the TRRP on a campaign swing – and what Ed (who gets promoted here from civil engineer to ‘state environmental scientist’ - or would that be the other way around?) had to say about the program’s success. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>We so ‘live in the moment’ I thought you-all might enjoy a longer view of Trinity River matters. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Bill Kier<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
