Yellow Creek Whirling Disease Study: Investigating the Presence and Potential Severity of Whirling Disease in Yellow Creek

Title
Yellow Creek Whirling Disease Study: Investigating the Presence and Potential Severity of Whirling Disease in Yellow Creek
Abstract
This study evaluates the status of Whirling Disease (WD) within Yellow Creek and Humbug Valley.
Purpose
Plumas Corporation has proposed a Humbug Valley — Yellow Creek Meadow Restoration Project for Plumas County. The proposed project would restore 4,460 feet of the main channel of Yellow Creek and 1,936 feet of an unnamed tributary channel and the floodplain using a pond and plug technique. A portion of the main channel of Yellow Creek and and approximately 14.4 acres of ponds would be created. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife, upon receiving the Meadow Restoration Project proposal, recommended that proposed impacts related to WD be evaluated within the Yellow Creek watershed.
