Shasta Water Association Dam Restoration
Shasta Valley Resource Conservation District, Siskiyou County
Project Abstract
The Shasta Water Association Dam Restoration generally consists of the design and installation of a replacement diversion facility for the Shasta River Water Association (SRWA) that will provide continued agricultural water supply, reduce water quality impairment and provide for complete fish passage.
Project Goals
- Protect and enhance the salmonid fishery of the Shasta and Klamath Rivers.
- Maintain the viability of agriculture in the Shasta Valley.
- Improve water quality of the Shasta and Klamath Rivers.
- Improve water use efficiency of Shasta Water Association (SWA) users.
- Implement TMDLs on the Shasta River that explicitly identify impoundment as a major contributor of increased temperature and decreased dissolved oxygen in the Shasta River.
- Improve upstream and downstream fish passage in the Shasta River so spawning fish can more readily access critical spawning areas upstream near Big Springs, and juvenile fish can migrate downstream to the ocean or upstream to cold water refugia for summer rearing.
