Project Overview
Basics
Klamath Wet Meadows Planning Project
NCRP RFFC Technical Assistance Round 1
Completed
This project will provide Technical Assistance (TA) to the Scott River Watershed Council (SRWC)’s Klamath Wet Meadow Planning Project (KWMPP) to accelerate and enhance the development of shovel ready and readily fundable restoration designs by the production of greenhouse gas calculations, cost estimates, permitting, project benefit quantification, and reporting. The KWMPP will evaluate and plan restoration in a range of degraded mountain meadows and streams encompassing approximately 1,563 acres to improve forest and watershed health, salmonid recovery, water quality and supply improvements, intra-regional cooperation, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and economic vitality.

General Information
Project Description Narrative (1,000 character limit)
Major Components of the KWMPP are to combine field reconnaissance with catchment-level high resolution LiDAR maps to assess current and historical flow paths, with a
goal of maximizing the system’s potential hydrological connectivity and complexity. We will include hydrologic and habitat monitoring, to ensure a sound experimental design that will allow quantitative assessments of the effects of restoration treatments on changes to the hydrograph, water quality, and habitat conditions. We will measure the effects of restoration actions on water
storage, fine sediment detention, stream flows and hydrological resilience. TA will provide economic and impact calculations of these benefits.

Project Types
Project Types
NCRP consultants are providing technical assistance for development of the assessment and planning process.
This project will support meadow restoration.
The project will address regional climate adaptation needs by assessing baseline conditions of valuable upland habitats and developing restoration plans that specifically take into account climate change trends and adaptation needs. Additionally, having healthy, wet mountain meadows increases the health of surrounding forests and reduces the risk from catastrophic fire by proving natural fire breaks.
