Box 250 Potter Valley, CA 95469 A HISTORY OF THE SALMONID DECLINE IN THE RUSSIAN RIVER A Cooperative Project Sponsored By Sonoma County Water Agency California State Coastal Conservancy Steiner Environmental Consulting Prepared by Steiner Environmental Consulting P.O. Box 250 Potter Valley, CA 95469 August 1996 (707) 743-1815 (707) 743-1816 f«x [email protected] EXECUTIVE SUMMARY BACKGROUND Introduction This report gathers together the best available information to provide the historical and current status of chinook salmon, coho salmon, pink salmon, and steelhead in the Russian River basin. Although the historical records are limited, all sources depict a river system where the once dominant salmonids have declined dramatically. The last 150 years of human activities have transformed the Russian River basin into a watershed heavily altered by agriculture and urban development. Flows in the main river channel river are heavily regulated. The result is a river system with significantly compromised biological functions. The anthropogenic factors contributing to the decline of salmonids are discussed. Study Area The 1,485 square mile Russian River watershed, roughly 80 miles long and 10 to 30 miles wide, lies in Mendocino, Sonoma, and Lake counties. The basin topography is characterized by a sequence of northwest/southeast trending fault-block ridges and alluvial valleys. Lying within a region of Mediterranean climate, the watershed is divided into a fog-influenced coastal region and an interior region of hot, dry summers.

  • Russian River Watershed Land Use History, Existing Conditions, and Field Investigations
    CHAPTER 4 Russian River Watershed Land Use History, Existing Conditions, and Field Investigations This chapter is divided into four main sections with each addressing key issues. Section 4.1 describes historical and current land uses that have resulted in the existing conditions, and the mining and reclamation history of the Hanson gravel ponds. Section 4.2 describes existing conditions and physical processes affecting aquatic habitat. The results of the feasibility study field investigations detailed in Chapter 3 are presented and discussed in Section 4.3. Section 4.4 describes the results of fish assemblage sampling. 4.1 Watershed land use history 4.1.1 Watershed description The 110-mile long Russian River mainstem contains five major alluvial valleys. From the northern headwaters in Mendocino County to the estuary in Sonoma County, the valleys are Ukiah, Hopland, Alexander, Middle Reach, and Santa Rosa Plain/Laguna de Santa Rosa (Figure 4.1.1). The geology of the Russian River catchment is predominated by accreted sea floor sediment and uplifted volcanic deposits that are highly faulted and thermally altered (Bailey et al. 1964; Hart et al. 1983). According to the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service (1972), the watershed has relatively high erosion rates. The regional Mediterranean climate of generally wet winters and very dry summers is punctuated by the El Niño storm cycle, often producing flood events during the wet season on approximately a 4- to 5-year frequency. Numerous parallel faults across the region result in patterns of valleys and ranges that are overlain by the natural drainage network. Each of the alluvial valleys has a geologic constriction at their southern downstream outlet that produces backwater hydraulic conditions during flood events that, over geologic time have left the valleys filled with alluvium (river-derived deposits of silt to gravel) ranging from 30 to 100 feet deep.

    HISTORICAL REVIEW OF EEL RIVER ANADROMOUS SALMONIDS, WITH EMPHASIS ON CHINOOK SALMON, COHO SALMON AND STEELHEAD UC DAVIS, CENTER FOR WATERSHED SCIENCES WORKING PAPER A Report Commissioned by California Trout, 2010 Ronald M. Yoshiyama and Peter B. Moyle Center for Watershed Sciences University of California, Davis Davis, CA 95616 February 1, 2010 Yoshiyama & Moyle Page - 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This project was made possible by the many people—past and present—who have held an interest in the Eel River system and its salmonid fishes. We greatly appreciate the support we received from numerous individuals and organizations in conducting our review. Our colleagues in the public agencies, academic institutions and private sector generously gave their time and information that contributed to this report. They are acknowledged in the text as personal communications. We especially thank S. Downie, B. Jong, M. Gilroy, S. Harris, S. Cannata, P. Higgins and B. Kier who collectively provided volumes of data and documents. In addition, we thank Scott Feierabend and the staff of California Trout for their constant support, high enthusiasm and enduring patience in seeing this project to its end. California Trout enabled funding of this project from the Friends of the Eel and anonymous donors.

  • Northern California Coast Southern Focus Area
    15.1 Description of Area 15.1.1 The Land The Northern California Coast-Southern Fours Area is composed of Mendocino, Sonoma, and Marin counties, excluding watersheds that drain into San Francisco Bay (Figure 14). This region of the northern California coast contains three areas with substantial wetland habitats: the coastal wetlands, the interior valleys of the Eel River system, and the interior valleys of the Russian River system. Securement and enhancement of these wetlands will provide nesting, staging, and winter habitat for a variety of waterfowl and many wetland-dependent species. Threatened and endangered species are also present in each of the 15.0 three areas. Limited state and federal protection exists in the form of managed wildlife areas, pants, national seashores or refuges. Wetland enhancement and, in some cases, restoration activities implemented after acquisition will improve NORTHERN and. expand existing wetland habitats. The northern part of the focus area is bounded on the CALIFORNIA east approximately by the dividing ridge between the Eel River and the Sacramento River watersheds. Further south it follows the divide between the water COAST─ sheds of the Russian and Sacramento rivers. Two almost parallel ranges of the Coast Mountain Ranges extend through most of this focus area. The range on SOUTHERN the east is a continuation of the Mayacamas Mountains. In this range, near Potter Valley, rise the two largest rivers of this area: the Eel and Russian rivers. The Eel River flows northward and enters the Pacific Ocean FOCUS AREA just south of Humboldt Bay. The Russian River flows south and then west to empty into the ocean north of Bodega Head.
