SRF presented two posters during the Poster Session at the conference focused on our streamflow monoitoring and flow enhancement efforts in the South Fork Eel. One poster was about Streamflow Enhancement in Redwood Creek, South Fork Eel and the Marshall Ranch Flow Enhancement project that will be implemented this summer. The other poster highlighted Sproul Creek Streamflow planning efforts including a flow enhancement project on the Wagner Ranch. Our project team just submitted a MND for this project.
