Title

Integrated Greenhorn Creek Restoration Project

Description

The Plumas Corporation has requested $341,000 from the Sierra Nevada Conservancy's Proposition 84 Preservation of Ranches and Agricultural Lands Grant Program for the treatment of 13.6-acres of aquatic and riparian habitat and 2,270 feet of stream channel at four sites along Greenhorn Creek using bank sloping, boulder vanes, and fish passage structures. The proposed project would construct bank stabilization treatments in two of the treatment areas; this would involve laying back six to eight feet high eroding banks to a 2:1 slope, vegetating the banks, and installing boulder vanes. Two fish passage treatments are located at the Reid and Shea agricultural irrigation dams, treatment at these two locations would involve placing rock channel and floodplain structures at five percent grade by building a series of riffles and pools in the channel and a rocked floodplain that would carry over-banking flood flows.
