Watershed Characterization and Needs Assessment
.
The purpose of this plan is to provide tools, resources and guidance for stakeholders to protect the natural environment in the upper Mark West Creek watershed, restore and enhance altered landscapes, and to steward the land in perpetuity.


Completed stream bank stabilization with willow emergence March 2008 Spring Creek Emergency Repairs. The Sotoyome RCD acted as local sponsor for project management and lead agency on the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and permitting necessary for securing the home and property of a family who live on an urbanized reach of Spring Creek in Santa Rosa. High water flows from the New Year's Storm of 2005-06 and recent upstream development, combined with confined stream morphology, caused significant scouring and eventual collapse of soils adjacent to their residence. Sotoyome RCD worked with a local contractor to implement stream bank construction measures needed to secure the streambank and the family home.
