Rattlesnake Creek Fish Rescue and BMP Monitoring

Reconstruction of a fish ladder on Rattlesnake creek, a tributary to the south fork Eel River in Mendocino County required dewatering of a large section of the stream area prior to construction. A large scale fish rescue was conducted by the FFC in cooperation with CalTrans and DFG using a combination of electro fishing, beach seines and dip nets. The FFC rescued 880 juvenile Steelhead and various other aquatic species from the construction area which were relocated the to suitable habitat away from the site. In addition to the fish rescue, the FFC was responsible for monitoring water quality and maintaining BMP’s during the dewatering process.
