Plumas Watershed Forum
What's New!
May 12, 2009 - The Watershed Forum has approved five new projects.
|
The Plumas Watershed Forum was formed in 2003 as a result of
the
Monterey Settlement Agreement. The Forum's purpose is to
implement watershed management and restoration activities in the Feather
River Watershed for the mutual benefit of Plumas County and the State
Water Project.
The goals of the Forum are to:
1. Improve water
retention for baseflow in streams
2. Improve water quality and streambank protection
3. Improve upland vegetation management
4. Improve groundwater retention and storage in major aquifiers
The Monterey Settlement Agreement provided funding in the amount of $1 million per year from 2003 until 2006. The money was spent on a variety of projects and programs in the Feather River region, which are described on the Projects pages.
Once a new environmental impact report is completed for operation of California's State Water Project under the "Monterey Agreement," an additional four years of funding will be contributed to the Plumas Watershed Forum.
