We removed a small concrete dam upstream of the Highway 29 fish barrier, enhancing access to about 1.5 miles of critical habitat. This project, conducted under a programmatic permit, allowed for efficient and cost-effective removal of the barrier. Suscol Creek, a third-order tributary of the Napa River, extends approximately 9.35 miles and drains a 3.24-square-mile watershed. Ranging from sea level to 1,500 feet, the watershed features grasslands, oak woodlands, and vineyards, mostly on private lands. The creek is crucial for Napa Valley steelhead, providing high-quality spawning and rearing habitat for this imperiled species.
