Curtis Reichert Reservoir and Culvert Replacement Project

Curtis Reichert Reservoir and Culvert Replacement Project

The proposed project involves the creation of an onstream reservoir and the replacement of two culverts; one culvert measuring 12 inches and the other 9 inches. The reservoir is located at the confluence of three unnamed streams tributary to Burright Creek, thence the East Fork of the Russian River and the two culverts will be placed in streams #1 and #2 respectively. The reservoir and unnamed streams are located at 12746 Pine Avenue (APN 175-240-08) in Potter Valley, Mendocino County. The proposed reservoir will have an earthen dam measuring approximately 15 feet high by 260 feet long. The earthen dam will impound approximately 7.5 acre feet of water and have an approximate surface area of 0.5 acres. The reservoir site is approximately a quarter mile upstream of the confluence of the three unnamed streams and will divert and capture water from only the two smaller unnamed streams. The two smaller unnamed streams will divert water via the installed culverts to the reservoir and a spillway will deliver water from the constructed reservoir back into unnamed stream #3. Issuance of a Streambed Alteration Agreement Number 1600-2005-0103-3 is pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 1602.
