Post-Project Appraisal of Santa Rosa Creek Restoration ______
University of California, Berkeley LDARCH 227 : River and Stream Restoration __________________________________________________________________________ Post-Project Appraisal of Santa Rosa Creek Restoration __________________________________________________________________________ Final Draft Authors: Charlie Yue Elizabeth Hurley Elyssa Lawrence Zhiyao Shu Abstract: The purpose of this project is to assess the success of past Santa Rosa Creek restorations as a form of post-restoration monitoring of previous projects. Core objectives of this creek restoration applied to the reach of the Santa Rosa Creek ranging from E Street to Pierson Street were analyzed to the extent possible with available resources. The overarching objectives were to improve and restore habitat, remediate and maintain a healthy creek ecosystem, and bolster community involvement within this specified reach. To measure the success of these objectives, the team gathered documentation of flora and fauna, pebble counts, and interviews with members of the community. Reported flora showed the creek was composed of about 79% of the original planted species, and of the total observed species, 16% were non-native and 84% were native. Interviews with the community indicated that the creek is used frequently for recreational purposes and that the community is concerned with litter and crime along the creek. With the results from this study, it was determined that the majority of past projects were successful though improvements could be made to maintain healthier, safer, and cleaner paths along the river.

Chapter 8 Infrastructure
CITY OF SANTA ROSA EXISTING CONDITIONS REPORT PLANNING AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DECEMBER 2020 CHAPTER 8 INFRASTRUCTURE IN THIS CHAPTER Water Supply Distribution | Stormwater Drainage and Water Quality | Dry Utilities 8.1 INFRASTRUCTURE FINDINGS Water Supply and Distribution 1. The City’s Water Department provides water service to approximately 178,000 people through 53,000 service connections. The Sonoma County Water Agency supplies most of the water, and the City uses groundwater to supplement the water supply. 2. The City has identified projects needed to increase water delivery capacity. Under the guidance of the Water Master Plan Update, the City has completed the 17 highest- priority capital improvement projects and 55 more projects are currently in design, planned, or under construction. Wastewater Collection and Treatment 3. The City maintains 590 miles of sewer system infrastructure. The sewer system discharges into the Laguna Wastewater Treatment Plant, which can treat up to 21.34 million gallons per day before releasing it into the Russian River. 4. The Sanitary Sewer System Master Plan identifies several trunk line replacements or improvements needed to reduce the flow of stormwater and groundwater into the aging sewer system. Stormwater Drainage and Water Quality 5. Santa Rosa uses a combination of closed conduit and open channel systems to convey stormwater runoff from six primary drainage basins to the major creeks that run through the city. The city’s creeks discharge into the Laguna de Santa Rosa, which eventually discharges surface waters into the Russian River. 6. The southern portion of the city has flooded historically along Colgan Creek and Roseland Creek. -
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. -

The Sonoma County Water Agency 2006 Stream Maintenance Program Providing Flood Protection for Our Community
The Sonoma County Water Agency 2006 Stream Maintenance Program Providing Flood Protection For Our Community This summer, the Sonoma County Water Agency targeted 36 streams within Sonoma County to perform flood protection maintenance. Now that summer is over, the Agency is continuing to complete work on as many streams as possible before weather conditions prohibit outdoor work. Below is an updated list of streams the Sonoma County Water Agency has completed work on and will be continuing maintenance on this fall. The goal of the maintenance work is to form and promote the development of shaded riparian canopies with alders and other trees that grow tall and stretch their branches over the creek, cooling the water and shading out bushes, brush and less desirable species of trees that reduce the water-carrying capacity of the creek.

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. -
