Lower Scott River Side-Channel Connectivity and Habitat Enhancement Project Phase II - 2 The Scott River is located in the Klamath Mountains of Siskiyou County in northern California and is a major tributary to the Klamath River. The Scott River watershed supports anadromous fish runs of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch), Chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha), and steelhead trout (O. mykiss). However, sections of the lower Scott River, including the project reach, are characterized by simplified channels that are limited in spawning gravels, pool frequency, and off-channel habitats. The project reach is also hindered by seasonal low flow conditions that impact fish passage and is often the first section of the Scott River to become disconnected in the summer and the last to reconnect in the fall/winter. National Marine Fisheries Service 2014 Southern Oregon and Northern California Coho Recovery Plan identified constructing/restoring off-channel habitats and increasing instream flows as two of the highest priority recovery actions in the Scott Valley. The goal of this project is to increase salmonid carrying capacity in the Scott River. Project objectives include restoring and/or enhancing off-channel rearing habitat, spawning habitat, and passage for migratory salmonids. Previous Next

Scott River Native Plant Monitoring and Education Initiative: Conserving At-Risk Species and Sensitive Habitats The proposed project directly aligns with the Siskiyou Resource Conservation District’s (SRCD) mission to identify conservation and watershed enhancement needs and provide support to landowners and resource managers through technical, financial, and educational leadership. By addressing the preservation of native plants and biologically sensitive botanical areas in the Scott River watershed, this project encapsulates SRCD’s commitment to fostering environmental stewardship and sustainable land use practices.

South Fork Scott River Floodplain Restoration Project - Phase 4 The strategy of reconnecting the Scott River to its floodplain by restoring natural channel form and function is identified as a high priority in the Final Recovery Plan for SONCC coho salmon. To address this SONCC coho recovery plan priority, this project will restore floodplain and secondary channel connectivity and increase in-stream habitat complexity by constructing a series of log jams and removing mine tailings (Figure 2). The project reach has a long history of mining activity dating back to the early 1900s. This project will excavate two side channels, totaling approximately 700 feet on river left through mine tailings that are currently precluding access to the river left floodplain except during high flow events. The southern side channel will reconnect directly to the South Fork Scot River and the northern side channel will connect to an existing side channel. A log jam will also be constructed where the side channels diverge to maintain the integrity of the side channels. The side channels will be excavated to a depth that will allow them to be inundated during moderate flows. Approximately 40 pieces of large wood will also be buried into the banks of the side channels to increase habitat diversity. Willows will be planted within the wood structures and along the margins of the side channel to increase the depth and function of the riparian corridor. This project will also construct five log jams, four channel spanning and one Type A structure, through approximately 400 feet of the mainstem of the South Fork Scott River. The channel spanning structures will provide overhead cover, establish pools, create velocity refuge for rearing salmonids, sort spawning gravels, and facilitate activation of the excavated side channels. The Type A structure will also add instream complexity and anchor the southern side channel reconnection point with the South Fork Scott River. Previous Next

South Fork Scott River Floodplain Restoration Project - Phase 3 In 2019, the SRCD and CalTrout were awarded funding agreements to complete implementation of Phase 2, which covers a 0.14-mile section of the reach and is currently scheduled for the 2020 construction season. Phase 2 includes the installation of two inset floodplains, four side channel “chop-and-drop” logjams, one main channel “chop-and-drop” logjam, one main channel apex jam, six anchored bank structures, and riparian planting. Similar monitoring methods will be applied to document treatment functionality, stream habitat response, fisheries utilization and revegetation performance. Subsequently, Phase 3 (as proposed here) focuses on a 0.15-mile section of the reach and is currently planned for 2021 implementation. Cascade Stream Solutions has produced intermediate (65%) status engineered drawings for the site (attached) and will be completing additional analysis through the spring of 2020 after which Final (100%) Construction Plans will be issued. The SRCD and CalTrout will continue to engage regulatory agencies through this process to refine the treatment plan and establish an approach for meeting environmental compliance standards. The proposed Phase 3 work will build on previously implemented phases and continue to address anthropomorphic impacts to the South Fork Scott River by improving floodplain accessibility, instream habitat quality, and riparian coverage.

Siskiyou Resource Conservation District Programs - Agronomy, Botany, Forestry, Hydrology, Ichthyology, Limnology Programs Six applied-science programs anchor our work across working lands and waterways: Agronomy, Botany, Hydrology, Forestry, Limnology, and Ichthyology. Each program supports field projects, technical assistance, and education in Scott Valley and surrounding communities. We keep it practical and local - grounded in data and built with producers, landowners, Tribes, agencies, and schools. Explore the disciplines below, then reach out to start a project or co-host an event. Programs at a Glance Agronomy Crop and pasture management that balances yield, soil health, and water efficiency on working lands. Soil sampling & interpretation; nutrient planning; grazing rotations. Irrigation scheduling tools and distribution uniformity checks. Cover-crop and forage trials; BMPs for fertilizer placement. More Info Forestry Defensible space and small-woodland practices that reduce risk and support habitat near homes and infrastructure. Chipper program logistics, slash management, and fuel-ladder reduction. Small-diameter thinning and pruning priorities around structures. Outreach: wildfire-readiness talks and yard-walks. More Info Ichthyology Fish ecology and habitat: monitoring, passage concepts, and project support in salmonid systems. Snorkel surveys, redd/spawner observations, and juvenile habitat notes. Passage assessment support and camera/visual monitoring concepts. Education: fish ID basics and life‑cycle displays for events. More Info Botany Native plant stewardship, invasive species management, and revegetation design for habitat and working landscapes. Rapid assessments; invasive mapping & prioritization; treatment plans. Seed mixes and planting palettes; maintenance schedules. Education: plant ID, weed hygiene, and restoration basics. More Info Hydrology Surface-water monitoring, irrigation efficiency, and project designs that work with seasonal flows. Water quality monitoring (temp, DO, turbidity, pH, EC) with QA/QC. Flow and stage measurements; rating curves; simple hydro analysis. Floodplain & side-channel concepts in partnership with engineers. More Info Limnology Still-water science—lakes, ponds, and wetlands—supporting habitat, water quality, and beneficial use. Thermal profiles, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll-a, and clarity. Algal bloom watch and nutrient source considerations. Wetland enhancement concepts and monitoring plans. More Info How These Programs Connect Projects rarely live inside one discipline. An irrigation efficiency tune‑up (Agronomy) can benefit stream temperatures (Hydrology/Limnology) and salmon habitat (Ichthyology). Revegetation (Botany) supports bank stability for floodplain concepts (Hydrology) and reduces fuels near homes (Forestry). We design scopes that reflect these linkages. For Community Hosts Granges, libraries, fairs, councils - let’s co‑host. We’ll bring speakers, simple demos, or a curated video program. Start a Project or Host a Training Tell us what you’re working on and which program fits. We’ll suggest a practical scope—solo or in partnership across programs - and set up a simple plan.

Kidder Creek Confluence Revetment and Fish Passage and Improvement Project This project will stabilize approximately 150 feet of actively failing bank at the confluence of Kidder Creek and the Scott River and remove accumulated eroded material that has constricted the channel and blocked fish movement. Continued bank failure at the mouth of Kidder Creek has reduced channel capacity, impeded adult coho salmon access to upstream habitat, and created conditions that trap out-migrating juveniles during low-velocity periods. By installing durable, habitat-appropriate bank revetment and restoring the natural channel opening, the project will reestablish reliable fish passage, reduce ongoing sediment inputs to the Scott River, and improve overall channel function at this critical junction in the watershed. $145,021.38 Previous Next
