Gualala River Sediment Reduction Program: Lower Rockpile Creek Pw
Project Overview
Basics
Gualala River Sediment Reduction Program: Lower Rockpile Creek Pw
- Address Climate Change and Extreme Event Effects, Impacts and Vulnerabilities
- Conserve, Enhance and Restore Watersheds and Ecosystems that Support Biological Diversity
- Develop, Collect and Analyze Data at a Variety of Spatial Scales to Inform Priority Projects/Actions
- Ensure that Disadvantaged and Underrepresented Communities Benefit from Initiatives
- Protect and Enhance Watersheds and Ecosystems that Provide Water Quality and Supply Benefits
- Respect Local Autonomy and Local Knowledge in NCRP Planning and Implementation
NCRP IRWM Prop 84 Round 2 (DWR)
Completed
This project will use Best Management Practices (BMPs) to treat sediment source sites on roads. BMPs include road decommissioning and storm proofing. Implementation of the project will prevent sediment from entering waterways in the Lower Rock Pile Basin. Benefits include improved water quality and enhanced salmonid habitat.

General Information
Project Description Narrative (1,000 character limit)
The Gualala River Restoration Program is a cooperative program developed by stakeholders and members of the community to implement basin-wide sediment reduction strategies to maintain and enhance water quality in accordance with the Gualala River TSD.
This proposal incorporates a priority NPS reduction project to continue sediment source reduction at the CalWater planning watershed scale. High priority projects for road related sediment source completion are based on a high road density, percent of erosion total from road sources, planning watershed disturbance index and refugia potential for coho and/or steelhead.
Through this priority project, GRWC will partner with the landowners to treat sediment sources on high and medium priority road networks that will prevent sediment from entering the watercourses in the Gualala River Watershed. Basin-wide TMDL attainment road based sediment reduction will increase through implementation of this project.

Project Types
Project Types
GRWC implements a robust monitoring program associated with each project it undertakes.
Roads in this disadvantaged community are improved through project implementation.
This project improves instream habitat by reducing sediment delivery from roads, increasing watershed health. Overall watershed health as well as salmonid habitat is improved through project implementation.
The project improves hydrogeomorphic function and instream habitat through sediment delivery reduction, improving overall watershed resiliency to climate change. Roads improvements increase community resiliency to more frequent and intense storms associated with climate change.
