Project Overview
Basics
Dry Creek Fish Barrier Removal and Streambank Restoration Project
Completed
Initiated in 2002, this collaborative project resulted in the removal of a fish migration barrier in one of the most pristine tributary watersheds in the Napa River watershed, opening over 16 miles of habitat to threatened steelhead. Through the public-private partnership, fish passage was improved, channel incision was halted, non-native vegetation was removed from the project area, the riparian corridor was enhanced with native plantings, and water quality was improved through erosion control practices.

Project Themes
This public-private partnership project opened over 16 miles of high quality habitat for threatened steelhead.
Through the process of fish barrier removal, associated up- and down- stream riparian streambanks were stabilized to reduce erosion and enhanced with native plants to protect water quality and improve overall habitat quality.
