Russian River & Big Sulphur Creek at Cloverdale, CA. Photo By Robert Janover Production of this directory was made possible through funding from the US Army Corps of Engineers and the California Department of Conservation. In addition to this version of the directory, you can find updated versions online at www.sotoyomercd.org Russian River Watershed Directory version September 2012 - 1 - Preface The Sotoyome Resource Conservation District (RCD) has updated our Russian River Watershed directory to assist landowners, residents, professionals, educators, organizations and agencies interested in the many resources available for natural resource management and stewardship throughout the Russian River watershed. In 1997, The Sotoyome RCD compiled the first known resource directory of agencies and organization working in the Russian River Watershed. The directory was an example of an emerging Coordinated Resource Management and Planning (CRMP) effort to encourage community-based solutions for natural resource management. Since that Photo courtesy of Sonoma County Water Agency time the directory has gone through several updates with our most recent edition being released electronically and re-formatting for ease of use.

  • Foothill Yellow-Legged Frog Comments
    The Center for Biological Diversity submits the following information for the status review of the foothill yellow-legged frog (Rana boylii) (Docket #FWS-R8-ES-2015-0050), including substantial new information regarding the species' biology, population structure (including potential Distinct Population Segments of the species), historical and recent distribution and status, population trends, documented range contraction, habitat requirements, threats to the species and its habitat, disease, and the potential effects of climate change on the species and its habitat. The foothill yellow-legged frog has experienced extensive population declines throughout its range and a significant range contraction. Multiple threats continue unabated throughout much of the species’ remaining range, including impacts from dams, water development, water diversions, timber harvest, mining, marijuana cultivation, livestock grazing, roads and urbanization, recreation, climate change and UV-radiation, pollution, invasive species and disease. The species warrants listing as threatened under the Endangered Species Act.

  • September 16, 1973 BIG SULPHUR CREEK SONOMA Entire Mouth
    transcribed for KRIS September 16, 1973 BIG SULPHUR CREEK SONOMA Entire Mouth Headwaters 20 miles Russian River 11 N 10 W 7 None Russian Personal Observations EXTENT OF OBSERVATION: Big Sulphur Creek was checked at several points on August 8 by B. Finlayson. The creek was completely surveyed by foot and from car from its confluence with the Russian River to its headwaters by B. Finlayson and J. Nelson on September 4, 5, 7 and 13, 1973. LOCATION: Big Sulphur Creek enters the Russian River two miles north of Cloverdale, California. The creek flows due west from its headwaters near Middletown, California. RELATION TO OTHER WATERS: Big Sulphur Creek contributes winter and summer flows to the Russian River System, provides passage for both upstream and downstream migration of anadromous salmonids to the creeks tributaries. GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Watershed and Immediate Drainage System— Big Sulphur Creek and its tributaries drain a basin of approximately 60 square miles, most of which is oak-grassland. The creek flows through a narrow and steep canyon, occasionally opening into shallow valleys. The creek is typified by steep walls (750 feet high carved out of outcroppings of bedrock) and bordered by oak, alder, madrone and some pine. Riparian streamside cover is limited along the entire stream. Altitude— 400 feet at confluence with Russian River: 2400 feet at headwaters. Gradient— 200 feet/mile overall. Width— Average: eight feet; range: three to 30 feet. Depth— One foot average; three inches to six feet range. Flow— Range from 1.9 c.f.s. near mouth to 0.3 c.f.s.

  • CHAPTER 4.3 Fisheries Resources
    CHAPTER 4.3 Fisheries Resources 4.3.1 Introduction This chapter describes the existing fisheries resources within the area of the Proposed Project. Section 4.3.2, “Environmental Setting” describes the regional and project area environmental setting as it relates to fisheries resources. Section 4.3.3, “Regulatory Framework” details the federal, state, and local laws related to fisheries resources. Potential impacts to fisheries resources resulting from the Proposed Project are analyzed in Section 4.3.4, “Impact Analysis” in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) significance criteria (CEQA Guidelines, Appendix G) and mitigation measures are proposed that could reduce, eliminate, or avoid such impacts, if feasible. Other impacts related to fisheries resources addressed in other chapters as follows: impacts to hydrology are addressed in Chapter 4.1, “Hydrology,” impacts to water quality are addressed in Chapter 4.2, “Water Quality,” and impacts to recreation are addressed in Chapter 4.5, “Recreation.” 4.3.2 Environmental Setting Russian River Watershed The Russian River measures slightly over 100 miles in length and the watershed drains roughly 1,485 square miles in Sonoma and Mendocino Counties. The watershed consists of a series of valleys surrounded by two mountainous ranges, the Mendocino Highlands to the West and the Mayacamas Mountains to the east. The Santa Rosa Plain, Alexander Valley, Hopland Valley, Ukiah Valley, Redwood Valley, Potter Valley and other small valleys comprise about 15 percent of the watershed. The remainder of the watershed area is hilly to mountainous. Principal tributaries of the Russian River include the East Fork Russian River, Big Sulphur Creek, Maacama Creek, Dry Creek, Mark West Creek, and Austin Creek.

  • PRELIMINARY REPORT on the FISHERIES 0F the RUSSIAN RIVER SYSTEM, CALIFORNIA by Leo Shapovalov Bureau of Fish Conservation Califo
    PRELIMINARY REPORT ON THE FISHERIES 0F THE RUSSIAN RIVER SYSTEM, CALIFORNIA1 By Leo Shapovalov Bureau of Fish Conservation California Division of Fish and Game The purpose of this report is to bring together some of the scattered information pertaining to the fisheries of the Russian River system, particularly the Steelhead fishery. Although the report is very incomplete, it is hoped that it will provide a basis for a more comprehensive and detailed study. The sections on climate, stream flows, and development are based largely on U. S. Bureau of Reclamation data. DESCRIPTION 0F THE AREA LOCATION The Russian River enters the Pacific Ocean about 50 miles north of San Francisco Bay. It drains an area of 1,508 square miles of the Coast Range of California. CLIMATE The climate is characterized by a short, rainy winter season and long dry summers. About 82 per cent of the annual rainfall, which totals about 30 inches at Santa Ross, occurs from November to March, inclusive. 1 Submitted August 25, 1944 2 Streams of the Russian River System The following list shows the principal streams in the basin, proceeding upstream, and their lengths: Total Length Name of Stream in Miles Below Healdsburg Reservoir Site Russian River 34 Jenner Creek 3 Sheephouse Creek 2 Willow Creek 5 Freezeout Creek 2 Austin Creek 12 Kidd Creek 3 Austin Creek, East Fork 13 Wards Creek 6 Dutch Bill Creek 7 Green Valley Creek 13 Santa Rosa Creek 20 Mark West Creek 18 Porter Creek 7 Laguna de Santa Rosa 11 Robert Crane Creek 8 Copeland Creek 5 Porter Creek 6 Dry Creek 38 Mill
