French Creek Flow Accounting Study

The Scott River Water Trust (SRWT) has been working with adjudicated water-users in Scott Valley since 2007 to develop opportunities for stream flow enhancement through temporary leases or long-term/permanent dedications of surface water rights. Under the seasonal Water Leasing Program, the SRWT contracts with voluntary agricultural producers to temporarily forbear all or part of their decreed water right(s) during the irrigation season in exchange for fair financial compensation. The purpose of the seasonal Water Leasing Program is to improve conditions for anadromous fish in priority stream reaches during critical life stages and time periods. The Siskiyou Resource Conservation District (SRCD) has been integrally involved with implementation of the seasonal Water Leasing Program since its inception and particularly with the monitoring component. Monitoring of seasonal transactions is generally limited to ensuring compliance with the lease terms and confirming stream response. However, in 2016 the SRWT proposed expanding the scope of effectiveness monitoring associated with the Water Leasing Program based on suggestions from Andrew Purkey and Rankin Holmes of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and their experience monitoring transactions in the Columbia River Basin (Holmes, et al., 2013). Under funding from the California Flow Restoration Accounting Fund managed by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, the SRWT contracted with the SRCD to explore several additional effectiveness monitoring techniques on French Creek including instream water level/discharge monitoring, wetted- perimeter analysis and alluvial connectivity surveillance. The purpose of this additional monitoring was to evaluate the applicability and effectiveness of these techniques to stream flow enhancement in Scott Valley and determine whether it would make sense for the SRWT adopt these practices into its programs. The specific components and objectives of the work completed on French Creek included: • Evaluate the instream effect of forbearance agreements performed by SRWT • Establish and maintain monitoring stations throughout French Creek to determine the downstream extent that returned water from various leases had on stream flow and temperature • Perform wetted perimeter analysis on French Creek to develop a relationship between instream flows and aquatic habitat conditions • Conduct periodic fisheries surveys through French Creek to evaluate the relative abundance of salmonids influenced by the transactions • Conduct periodic foot surveys through lower French Creek to establish the temporal and spatial connectivity to the Scott River This report summarizes the monitoring and analysis conducted by the SRCD during the 2018 and 2019 water leasing seasons under the French Creek Flow Accounting Study and provides conclusions related to the applicability of these methods to the SRWT.
