Title

Matanzas Creek Detention Reservoir Sediment Removal Project

Description

The project is the dredging of accumulated sediment from Matanzas Creek Reservoir on Matanzas Creek, tributary to Santa Rosa Creek, thence the Russian River. To restore floodwater storage capacity within Matanzas Creek Reservoir, approximately 120,000 cubic yards of accumulated sediment will be removed, vegetation encroaching on the reservoir will be removed, and permanent access roads will be constructed to the reservoir and to the stream downstream of the dam. The project will include the planting of native riparian and woodland vegetation around the perimeter of the reservoir following dredging and removal of the vegetation growing on the accumulated sediment in the bottom of the reservoir. The California Department of Fish and Game is executing a Lake and Streambed Alteration Agreement number 1600-2005-0233-3 pursuant to Section 1602 of the Fish and Game Code to the project applicant, Sonoma County Water Agency.
