It opened in April 2021 and will close in April 2024. Under this grant, ERRP will plan and permit water storage for an organic farm and summer camp for inner city youth so that the Black Oak Ranch can forbear from withdrawing water from Streeter Creek, an important salmon and steelhead bearing tributary. Erosion control projects are also being planned and permitted to stop sediment pollution. Cooperation for forbearance on the west side of the Tenmile Creek watershed is being sought in exchange for acquiring grant funds for additional water storage. The Salmonids Across the Landscape (SAL) model will be used to compare flows between altered Tenmile tributaries and Elder Creek, a control stream on the Angelo Reserve to the west. A surface and groundwater budget for Mill and Cahto creeks is being created. Water flow, temperature and fish community structure are being monitored as part of this project. Timelapse cameras captured photos of streams that were made into flow movies and published to the Internet. 99760 101650 1890 The State Water Resources Control Board awarded ERRP a 319h grant funded with use of US EPA money to abate non-point source pollution. The Tenmile Creek Erosion Control and riparian Restoration Project will repair 620 feet of eroding stream bank, restore the riparian area using living willow and create improved fish habitat for ESA-listed Pacific salmon species. 68964 92779 23815 The California Department of Water Resources awarded ERRP an Urban Stream Restoration Program Grant for the Town Creek Restoration and Education Project in Covelo in north eastern Mendocino County. The Project's primary purpose is to treat a 720 foot reach of eroding bank on Town Creek using bioengineering methods, including planning and permitting. ERRP will work with the Round Valley Elementary School and Round Valley High School to involve them in stream restoration and will do outreach to the community to improve stewardship. 630 700 70 The McLean Foundation funded educational activities in VanDuzen River schools focused on aquatic life and stream health. 630 700 70 375828 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 13 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 CA X Diane Higgins 7078394987 PO Box 214 Loleta CA 955510214 Patrick Higgins Board Chair 40 0 X X X 78325 0 0 Imil Ferrara Treasurer 1 0 X 2532 0 0 Catherine Warren Trustee 0 X 0 0 0 Ernie Merrifield Trustee 0 0 X 0 0 0 Bryan McFadin Secretary 0 X 0 0 0 80857 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 11600 0 0 0 18795 0 30395 State Coastal Conservancy 924120 210687 210687 0 0 State Water Resources Control Board 924120 33679 33679 0 0 California Department of Water Resources 924120 92779 92779 0 0 McLean Foundation 924120 700 700 0 0 0 0 0 0 337845 128 128 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 368368 337973 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 90908 90908 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 24028 24028 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1000 1000 7208 7208 4743 4743 1878 1878 0 0 6000 6000 1798 1798 0 0 2317 2317 0 0 0 0 0 0 2300 2300 Contract Services 233648 233648 0 0 Permit Fees 0 0 0 0 Equipment 0 0 0 0 375828 375828 0 0 22552 20050 3940 567 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1585 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 28077 20617 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 28077 20617 0 0 0 0 28077 20617 28077 20617 -7460 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 140982 159051 232524 351312 368368 1252237 140982 159051 232524 351312 368368 1252237 1252237 780 780 1253017 0.99938 0.99919 X Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 8b We have no functioning committees.
