Title
Sierra Valley Watershed Assesment
Abstract

(NRCS 2004).
within the hydrologic unit of Sierra Valley. The Sierra Valley forms the headwaters of the Middle
Fork Feather River, a Category I Priority Watershed in the California Unified Watershed Assessment
(NRCS 2004).
Purpose
The mission of the Sierra Valley Watershed Assessment is to gather and integrate existing
information on the physical, cultural, and demographic variables that characterize the Sierra Valley
Watershed at the present and in the past. The project is primarily an existing conditions report that
will be used as an educational tool and help guide residents and stakeholders in prioritizing future
watershed projects within Sierra Valley. This watershed assessment can be considered the initial step
in developing our knowledge of the existing conditions within the Sierra Valley Watershed
ecosystem. It will be amended and extended as new information becomes available.
