Mendocino Woodlands State Park Sediment Reduction Project
NCRP IRWM Prop 1 Round 1 (DWR)
Deferred/Unfunded
This project will reduce sediment discharges from Roads 700 and 720 into Railroad Gulch, a Class I stream (habitat to Coho Salmon and Steelhead) and a tributary to Big River in the Lower Big River Watershed, by improving drainage on Road 720; directing drainage away from streams; and, transferring vehicle travel to Road 720 (higher up on the hillslope), allowing for the decommissioning of Road 700 (the only year-round, commercial vehicle access route to Mendocino Woodlands State Park).

General Information
Project Description Narrative (1,000 character limit)
This project is proposed to be completed in two phases. Phase 1 will upgrade the Cal Fire portion of Rd 720. Phase 2 will upgrade DPR’s portion of Road 720 and decommission Road 700. When complete, this project provides significant and numerous benefits. CalFire, as part of its Forest Management Plan, inventoried all roads in JDSF. Out of 288 total road projects, Rd 700 is its top priority for decommissioning.

Project Types
This project improves road infrastructure in a disadvantaged area.
This
project will remove a velocity barrier to juvenile salmonids and will reduce future sediment delivery by improving drainage, directing drainage away from streams, and making Rd 720 the year-round commercial vehicle access to MWSP, allowing Rd 700 decommission.
The primary component of this project that will benefit and enhance climate change resiliency is upgraded watercourse crossings so they become storm proof. The reconstruction of watercourse crossings to a storm proof standard will ensure that associated road fills are protected from failure and discharge into a watercourse by designing crossings to accommodate a 6-year flood flow.
