Indian Creek Streamflow Enhancement Planning

The Indian Creek Streamflow Enhancement Planning project, managed by the California Wildlife Conservation Board under Project Tracker ID 2025159, focuses on planning and design activities within the Indian Creek subwatershed in Mendocino County, specifically near Philo. The primary objective is to develop a Collaborative Water Management Plan for the subwatershed. Key deliverables include the completion of 100 percent designs for the Maggy Hawk Planning Project, which encompasses the planning of two water storage ponds, a rainwater catchment system, and the preparation of a 1707 petition. Additionally, the project requires the completion of 65 percent designs for one further flow enhancement project within the subwatershed. This initiative is classified as a forecast under NAICS code 541330 and is currently exempt under California Environmental Quality Act Section 15262, as it is limited to feasibility and planning studies without approved or funded construction actions. Rebecca Fris, the Deputy Executive Director of the Wildlife Conservation Board, serves as the primary point of contact and the person carrying out the project. The scope is strictly limited to design and planning outputs to support potential future water management actions in the region.
