I am the engineering geologistlfluvial geomorphologist with California State Parks. support the idea of restoring the marsh and geomorphic function of the Upper Truckee at the mouth at Lake Tahoe. From a brief review of the alternatives, I think alternative 3, the Middle Marsh Corridor, would yield the greatest results for river function and habitat improvement. Prior to human disturbance, the river probably was a distributary multi-thread system. This is the only alternative that mimics that condition. Construction of a single thread channel or an inset floodplain would not restore geomorphic function or allow the floodwaters extended time and area on the floodplain. By creating a more natural multi-channel marsh configuration you will have the greatest benefits to both water quality and habitat. A couple of the alternatives also call for narrowing the mouth. A question that I did not see addressed is how the historic mouth and barrier bars would have functioned. Would the channel have closed in low flow years and breached in high spring flows? I am sure the native fish would have been adapted to the natural variability, but how that system functioned should be investigated.

  • Highlights from the Inverloch Classic Wooden Dinghy Regatta
    The Inverloch Classic Wooden Dinghy Regatta The Inverloch Classic Wooden Dinghy Regatta is about displaying classic wooden sailing dinghies both on and off the water, many of which were once common but are now becoming rare. By focusing on the beauty of the wood crafting, rigging and history of these boats it is hoped people will appreciate them more fully and participate in their restoration and conservation. Over the Australia Day Weekend the Regatta also highlights aspects of Inverloch’s unique seaside history. Highlights from the Inverloch Classic Wooden Dinghy Regatta 26, 27 and 28 January 2017 March 2017 Newsletter South Gippsland Yacht Club Commodore What a fantastic weekend! Of course we were blessed with perfect weather conditions for a sailing event but to my mind it was the participants that made the regatta such a success. We had the most entrants of any year so far with forty seven boats lined up along the beach and looking out over Anderson Inlet at the start of the race on Friday, it was truly a spectacular sight. Many of the boats on view were here for the first time, among them the fleet of Sailfish whose owners proved to be a competitive bunch who really contributed to the atmosphere. It was an added bonus to have co-designer Jack Carroll in attendance and freely giving his time to anyone who wanted to talk about boats. With so many beautiful boats on display, the judging panel had some difficult decisions to make. It was a fitting reward and popular choice when Andrew Chapman was presented with the Best Boat award for his restoration of the Gwen 12 “Flyaway II”.
