Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
The Eel River Recovery Project (ERRP) has previously received letters of support from the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors when applying for grant funding to conduct watershed projects within the County.
Summary of Request:
The Eel River Recovery Project (ERRP) is a 501c3 non-profit corporation that has been organizing in the 3600 square mile Eel River watershed since 2011. ERRP assists volunteers monitoring throughout the basin to collect data on fish populations, water temperature and flow, and toxic cyanobacteria since 2012.
ERRP is seeking funding for the Chamise and Woodman Creek Community Conservation and Restoration Pilot Project to assist residents of these watersheds to implement water conservation, to decrease erosion, and to prevent pollution. Both creeks are very important tributaries of the middle main stem Eel River basin, which extends from Dos Rios to Dyerville, and their improvement will increase ecosystem function of this reach that already supports Chinook salmon, green sturgeon, and Pacific lamprey spawning. This grant will bring substantial technical assistance for water conservation, pollution prevention, and to work to improve watershed hydrology and forest health.
