    APPENDIX D Archival Study for the Fish Habitat Flows and Water Rights Project An Archival Study for the Fish Habitat Flows and Water Rights Project Mendocino and Sonoma Counties, California Eileen Barrow, M.A. June 6, 2016 An Archival Study for the Fish Habitat Flows and Water Rights Project Mendocino and Sonoma Counties, California Prepared by: _________________________________ Eileen Barrow, M.A. Tom Origer & Associates Post Office Box 1531 Rohnert Park, California 94927 (707) 584-8200 Prepared for: Sonoma County Water Agency 404 Aviation Santa Rosa, California 95407 June 6, 2016 ABSTRACT Tom Origer & Associates conducted an archival study for the Fish Habitat Flows and Water Rights Project, as requested by the Sonoma County Water Agency. This study was designed to meet requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act. Per the findings of the National Marine Fisheries Service (2008), the Sonoma County Water Agency is seeking to improve Coho salmon and steelhead habitat in the Russian River and Dry Creek by modifying the minimum instream flow requirements specified by the State Water Resources Control Board's 1986 Decision 1610. The current study includes a ⅛ mile buffer around Lake Mendocino, Lake Sonoma, the Russian River from Coyote Valley Dam to the Pacific Ocean, and Dry Creek from Warm Springs Dam to the Russian River. The study included archival research at the Northwest Information Center, Sonoma State University (NWIC File No. 15-1481); archival research at the Museum of Paleontology, University of California, Berkeley; examination of the library and files of Tom Origer & Associates; and contact with the Native American community. Documentation pertaining to this study is on file at the offices of Tom Origer & Associates (File No.

In 1997, The Sotoyome RCD compiled the first known resource directory of agencies and organization working in the Russian River Watershed. The directory was an example of an emerging Coordinated Resource Management and Planning (CRMP) effort to encourage community-based solutions for natural resource management.

  • Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians Tribal State Gaming
    United States Department of the Interior OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY Washington, DC 20240 DEC 1 5 2017 The Honorable Chris Wright Chairman, Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians P.O. Box 607 Geyserville, California 95441 Dear Chairman Wright: On October 5, 2017, our office received from the State of California (State) a copy of the proposed Tribal-State Compact (Compact) between the State of California and the Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians (Tribe). DECISION Under the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA), the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) may approve or disapprove a proposed compact within 45 days of its submission. 25 U.S.C. § 2710 ( d)(8). If the Secretary does not approve or disapprove the proposed compact within 45 days, IGRA states that the compact is considered approved by the Secretary, "but only to the extent the Compact is consistent with the provisions of [IGRA]." 25 U.S.C. § 2710(d)(8)(C). We undertook a thorough review of the Compact and the additional materials submitted by the parties. While we have concerns with some provisions in the Compact, we have taken no action within the prescribed 45-day review period. As a result, the Compact is "considered to have been approved by the Secretary, but only to the extent [it] is consistent with the provisions of [IGRA]." 25 U.S.C. § 2710(d)(8)(C). We proceed in this "deemed approved" manner because the Compact contains provisions that appear to give the State broad authority over non-gaming activities, such as a hotel and on-reservation development and thus may exceed the lawful scope of State authority in gaming compacts under IGRA.

  • Draft North Sonoma County Agricultural Reuse Project Environmental Impact Report/ Environmental Impact Statement
    DRAFT NORTH SONOMA COUNTY AGRICULTURAL REUSE PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT/ ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT March 2007 Prepared for: Sonoma County Water Agency 440 Aviation Boulevard Santa Rosa, CA 95409 and US Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation 2800 Cottage Way Sacramento, CA 95825 State Clearinghouse No. 2006012130 DRAFT Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement North Sonoma County Agricultural Reuse Project being jointly pursued by the U.S. Department of Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, and the Sonoma County Water Agency The U.S Department of Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) and the Sonoma County Water Agency (SCWA) have prepared this joint Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) on the proposed North Sonoma County Agricultural Reuse Project (NSCARP) to construct and operate a recycled water project. The SCWA is a special district created by California legislation in 1949 that supplies water to cities and public agencies throughout most of the populated areas of Sonoma County and northern Marin County and is the state lead agency, and Reclamation is the federal lead agency for this EIR/EIS, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), respectively. NSCARP objectives are to provide a reliable, long-term water supply for agricultural interests; reduce discharges from local wastewater treatment plants to local waterways; reduce the use of groundwater and surface water for agricultural purposes in north Sonoma County; provide an environmentally responsible, long-term method of recycled water use; and, increase reliability and long-term sustainability of the regional water supply. NSCARP would result in fewer agricultural diversions from the Russian River and its tributaries, which would enable the SCWA to release less water from storage in Lake Mendocino and Sonoma to meet water demands and instream flow requirements.
