  • Sediment Mobilization and Flow History in Klamath River Below Iron Gate Dam DATE: September 29, 2016
    Technical Memorandum TO: Dave Hillemeier, Yurok Tribal Fisheries, and Craig Tucker, Karuk Department of Natural Resources FROM: Conor Shea, Nicholas J. Hetrick, and Nicholas A. Som, Arcata Fish and Wildlife Office SUBJECT: Response to Request for Technical Assistance – Sediment Mobilization and Flow History in Klamath River below Iron Gate Dam DATE: September 29, 2016 Purpose. The Arcata Fish and Wildlife Office (AFWO) Fisheries Program is working with its scientific co-investigators to develop a series of four technical memorandums that summarize recent findings of studies that contribute to our current understanding of Ceratanova shasta (syn Ceratomyxa shasta) infections in the Klamath River, in response to requests for technical assistance from the Yurok and Karuk tribes. Each of the topics addressed in the four technical memorandums: 1) sediment mobilization review and streamflow history for the Klamath River below Iron Gate Dam, 2) polychaete distribution and infections, 3) actinospore and myxospore concentrations, and 4) prevalence of C. shasta infections in juvenile and adult salmonids, are identified in a conceptual model diagram (Figure 1) taken from Foott et al. (2011) and as discussed with the requesting tribes. The intent of the technical memorandums is to provide managers with a contemporary understanding of the state of the science with regard to the C. shasta in the Klamath River, and to provide a scientific basis to inform and support resource management decisions. The focus of this technical memorandum is to summarize the state of knowledge regarding environmental flow releases from the Iron Gate Dam to achieve specific objectives for channel form and ecological function. Other memorandums in this series will address how achieving these objectives will potentially influence various aspects of the C.

  • Petition for Emergency Rulemaking
    1222 Preservation Park Way, Suite 200, Oakland, California 94612 · (510) 208-4555 · www.envirolaw.org Nathaniel Kane, Executive Director · [email protected] BEFORE THE CALIFORNIA STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD PETITION FOR EMERGENCY Pursuant to Cal. Const. art. 1, § 3 RULEMAKING TO SET MINIMUM and Gov. Code § 11340.6 FLOWS ON THE SCOTT RIVER This summer presents as great a challenge as the Scott River has ever faced. Historic low precipitation and high temperatures coupled with increasing water extraction will result, again, in a disconnected, dry riverbed with potentially disastrous effects for protected fish populations. Compounding the challenge is the fact that the Scott basin is split in two by an out-of-date adjudication that allows unrestricted groundwater pumping in most of the valley. It is only June and the river is almost dry. The State Board must act and act fast. At the same time, recent court decisions and administrative actions have confirmed that the State Board has the power to address these critically low flows without needing to go through the lengthy and expensive process of readjudicating the Scott River basin. First, the State Board has the power under its waste and unreasonable use authority, Water Code section 1058.5, and a drought proclamation to issue emergency regulations setting minimum instream flows for adjudicated rivers and declaring water use that reduces flows below those minimums to be per se unreasonable. (Stanford Vina Ranch Irrigation Company v. State of California (2020) 50 Cal.App.5th 976 (Stanford Vina).) Second, the State Board has the authority and the duty to regulate groundwater extractions that affect public trust resources.

These measurements are a part of the statewide California Cooperative Snow Survey program managed by the California Department of Water Resources. According to the current measurements, the local snow depth is now 113 percent of normal and the water content is 101 percent. The storms that passed through in March added significantly to the local snowpack. Department of Water Resources hydrologists announced on April 2nd that the water content in all of California's mountain snowpack is at 55 percent of the April 1 full season average. This month’s readings are considered the most important of the year, because early April is when the state's snowpack normally is at its peak. The mountain snowpack usually provides one third of the water for California's households, industry and farms. Thanks to precipitation from recent winter storms, the Scott River Watershed is now reporting above average snow levels and water content values and the Trinity River Watershed is reporting near-normal snow levels as summer approaches. Snow depth and water content are measured by obtaining a core sample of snow with a specially designed and calibrated aluminum tube.
