  • 2018 Stream Maintenance Program
    2018 Stream Maintenance Program Improving water quality in our streams while providing flood protection for our community This summer the Sonoma County Water Agency (Water Agency) will be working in streams and channels throughout Sonoma County to improve water quality and provide flood protection. As part of our comprehensive Stream Maintenance Program (SMP), we will be removing sediment and garbage and planting trees to create shady riparian canopies. These canopies help cool the water and shade out less desirable species of plants, which can catch debris and reduce the streams’ water-carrying capacity. If necessary, we will remove some non-canopy forming trees such as arroyo willows as well as certain dense shrubs such as non-native and invasive blackberries. Sediment removal activities include planting native trees, shrubs, and some aquatic plants according to a certain pattern to establish canopy while maintaining channel capacity. The Sonoma County Youth Ecology Corps (SCYEC), a workforce training and ecosystem education program aimed at educating youth and young adults in environmental stewardship and restoration, will be working with the SMP this summer. The SCYEC provides youth and young adults paychecks, valuable work experience, environmental education, and the opportunity to contribute to their community through ongoing outdoor experiences. Below is the list of streams the Water Agency will be maintaining this summer. For a more detailed list, map of locations, and information on stream maintenance, visit www.sonomacountywater.org.

    MANAGEMENT TIPS TO ENHANCE LAND & WATER QUALITY FOR SMALL ACREAGE PROPERTIES Laguna de Santa Rosa Watershed With tips appropriate on a regional level About Sotoyome Resource Conservation District The Sotoyome Resource Conservation District (SRCD) is a non-regulatory special district of the state which was originally established in 1946 to aid farmers and ranchers in their soil erosion control efforts and provide assistance in water conservation. The Sotoyome RCD has expanded its services since that time to communities, school districts, river basin and watershed projects, and environ- mental improvement programs. The SRCD provides leadership in assessing the conservation needs of the constituents of the district, and in developing programs and policies to meet those needs. For this publication, we compiled and edited content in coordination with a technical advisory com- mittee comprised of landowners, agency and organization personnel, and agricultural producers. The information within consists of tips and resources about best management practices for small acreage properties. Additional resources, for further inquiry on specific topics, are provided in the appendix of the document. Notice: RIGHT TO FARM The County of Sonoma has declared it a policy to protect and encourage agricultural opera- tions. If your property is located near an agricultural operation, you might at some times be subject to inconvenience or discomfort arising from agricultural operations. If conducted in a manner consistent with proper and accepted standards, said inconveniences and dis- comforts are hereby deemed not to constitute a nuisance for purposes of the Sonoma County Code. Agricultural Commissioners Note: If you are developing a new vineyard or replanting an existing vineyard, you must contact the Agricultural Commissioner to comply with the Vineyard Erosion and Sediment Control Ordinance at (707) 565-2371.
