Sloughhouse RCD Stream Gage Installation Project

Sloughhouse Resource Conservation District is preparing to install or reactivate seven surface water gaging stations across Amador and Sacramento Counties using funding from CalSIP to enhance real-time monitoring of surface water flows. The initiative aims to improve the accuracy and availability of hydrologic data, which is essential for managing instream flows and safeguarding aquatic and riparian ecosystems in the region. Although minor, temporary disturbances may occur during construction, mitigation measures will be implemented to reduce environmental impacts. The resulting data will support adaptive management practices designed to align agricultural water use with the ecological needs of native fish and wildlife species, ensuring a more sustainable balance between water demands and resource conservation. The project is forecasted with a posting date of June 23, 2026, and will be coordinated by Project Manager Lindsey Carter, who can be reached through the provided contact information.
