Upper Feather River Watershed

Restore the meadow; stream and riparian ecosystems in the Folchi Sub Watershed of Carman Creek Watershed. The project is to remove railroad grade on the north side of the valley to reconnect ephemeral and intermittent drainages that have been disconnected by the rail road gradeconstruction. Obliterate the gully (existing channel) through approximately 1 mile of Folchi Valley using a combination of off-site material and locally generated (in channel) material to intermittently fill the existing channel. This will reconnect the stream with the historic channels on the meadow surface and the floodplain.
