The Sonoma County Water Agency (Water Agency) prepared this Notification report (Notification) to provide responsible agencies with information regarding anticipated Stream Maintenance Program (SMP) (Program) projects for the upcoming season. The information in this Notification is intended to meet the individual reporting requirements of the Program’s regulating agencies: California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW); National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS); North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (NCRWQCB); Regional Water Quality Control Board (SFBRWQCB); United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE); and United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). To the extent feasible, data presented in this Notification is organized so that information applicable to the Flood Control Zones (Zones) under the separate authorities of the NCRWQCB and SFBRWQCB may be easily accessed by reviewers. Notification Review and the SMP Manual

The SMP Manual1 was developed to establish and define the overall maintenance program and to describe the Program’s maintenance activities, natural resources, and approaches to avoid or minimize impacts to environmental resources. The Manual serves as the description of activities permitted by the relevant regulatory agencies.

The SMP Manual is intended to serve as a companion document to this Notification. To facilitate Notification review, information presented in the SMP Manual is referenced or summarized rather than repeated herein. Confirmation of adherence to activity descriptions and Best Management Practices (BMPs) as described in the Manual are provided for each project, as appropriate, and any deviations from the Manual are clearly identified and explained herein. SFBRWQCB Project Specific Notification

The SFBRWQCB requires additional information (Project Specific Notification) for maintenance work proposed in modified or natural channels, as well as for reach-scale activities on engineered channels. Beginning in 2017, this supplemental information has been integrated into the Notification to provide more efficient reporting and remove the need for multiple, separate documents. To facilitate Project Specific Notification review by the SFBRWQCB, a directory noting where required information is presented herein is included below in Table 1- 1.

v Section 1 Proposed Project Lists, Locations and General Information

This section lists the proposed ground-disturbing projects for the 2017 field season and provides project site geographic information as well as general project information. Proposed vegetation management projects are also listed at the end of this section.

1.1. Ground Disturbing Project Site List, Locations, Management Triggers and General Information

Annual project needs are determined based on condition assessments conducted over the previous rainy season. Depending on precipitation patterns, frequency, intensity, and volume- work in specific areas varies from year to year. The Water Agency conducts reconnaissance of maintenance reaches (approximately February-April) to identify maintenance needs and develop the high priority work plan for the coming year. Work needs are determined based on an evaluation of observed maintenance triggering conditions for both sediment removal and/or vegetation management on each reach. Table 1-2 below presents the proposed 2017 ground- disturbing projects and associated maintenance triggers. The table also presents location, geographic, and general information for each of the proposed projects. For a complete description of each project type (reach scale, localized scale, reservoir outlet clearings, bank stabilizations and in-stream sediment basin clearing [targeted sediment removal]), please see SMP Manual Section 6. Project location maps are provided in Appendix A. Anticipated vegetation management projects are described in the next section. Table 1-2.

Project is within engineered channel unless otherwise noted in parenthesis. 2Please see SMP Manual Section 6 for a description of Program activities. Descriptions of Program Best Management Practices (BMPs) are provided in SMP Manual Section 7. 1.2. Vegetation Management Activity List

During the 2017 maintenance season, vegetation management will include tree and brush thinning, and removal of exotic species and other vegetation blockages to improve hydraulic capacity and retain or enhance appropriate habitat. Vegetation management will be completed according to Appendix E of the SMP Manual (Vegetation Management Plan), as well as the associated terms and conditions of all programmatic permits and biological opinions2.

Vegetation management will be completed in 2017 at the locations listed in Table 1-3. All proposed vegetation management activities are anticipated to involve less than 100 contiguous feet of vegetation removal per reach. Proposed activities—including exotic plant management, Himalayan blackberry management, debris removal, and willow or tree pruning—will occur in only a portion of the identified reach, not the entire reach length. An accounting of the total (non- contiguous) length worked per reach will be included in the 2017 Annual Post-Maintenance Summary Report due January 31, 2018.

An addendum will be sent out in August 2017 to supplement this list if any subsequent requests for vegetation management are made for areas not identified in Table 1-3. The submission and approval of such an addendum is specified in the CDFW Streambed Alteration Agreement (No. 1600-2009-0399-R3) for the SMP.

Activities on Restriction-Imposed Creeks

The Stream Maintenance Program tracks maintenance in creeks that have annual or cumulative maintenance limits (for the term of the permit). Multi-year tracking of cumulative program activities is important to demonstrate compliance with the SMP’s own programmatic permits, as well as related conditions (such as the Russian River Biological Opinion conditions). These permit conditions are intended to reduce the overall level of impacts and the associated frequency of disturbance. Previous SMP Annual Summary Reports (2010-2016) discuss the purpose and approach behind the Water Agency’s philosophy and implementation of vegetation management. In general, Vegetation Management involves a “frequent but light” approach and results in removing only between 10-20 percent of canopy contributing to hydraulic constrictions.

Proposed 2017 SMP maintenance activities on creeks with restrictions are documented in Table 1-4.

Best Management Practices by Program Activity

Table 1-5 below summarizes the SMP Best Management Practices (BMPs) that will be implemented during the 2017 field season according to program activities. This table is an excerpt from SMP Manual Table 7-2. For a complete description of each BMP, please refer to Table 7-1 (Stream Maintenance Program Best Management Practices) in the SMP Manual.
