Watershed Management Plans for TMDL Implementation
The Bale Slough/Bear Creek Sediment Reduction and Habitat Enhancement Plan is designed to reduce stream bank erosion, halt channel incision, and improve salmonid habitat consistent with implementing the Napa River Sediment Total Maximum Daily Load. Project goals will be accomplished by completing a suite of field surveys to describe current conditions and guide restoration planning to improve water quality for threatened steelhead trout and other aquatic organisms. The project will also foster landowner support for stream restoration work by providing plans that watershed stakeholders can use to solicit future implementation funds.
