Lagunitas Creek Watershed Enhancement Project – Phase 2 (Restoration Management Permit No. RMP-2026-0046-R3)

On October 19, 2026, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) issued this Restoration Management Permit (RMP) pursuant to section 1670 of the Fish and Game Code to Marin Municipal Water District. This Project is expected to benefit Central California Coast (CCC) Evolutionarily Significant Unit (ESU) coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch), CCC distinct population segment (DPS) steelhead (O. mykiss), California freshwater shrimp (Syncaris pacifica), and other native aquatic species through the installation of habitat features at five sites within the Lagunitas Creek watershed. These habitat features consist of large wood and gravel, and will increase available spawning and rearing habitat, improve floodplain connectivity, provide in-stream cover, and increase habitat heterogeneity. CDFW has determined that the Project is a Qualifying Restoration Project pursuant to section 1671(d)(1) of the Fish and Game Code, and the Project is expected to result in a substantial, cumulative benefit to native fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitat. This notice is to advise that CDFW issued the above-described RMP on the date signed below.
