SRF Road Maintenance & Erosion Control Field School October 13-16 2009, Garcia River The Salmonid Restoration Federation, CA Department of Fish & Game and Pacific Watershed Associates will offer a field school to learn techniques to address culvert and road drainage practices as well as erosion control techniques. This field school will be held at Oz Farm on the Garcia River. All meals and lodging are included in the course fees. The curriculum includes conducting road sediment assessments (problem identification and prescription development); implementing fish-friendly road upgrading practices (stream crossing upgrades and improved road drainage practices to protect water quality); proper road decommissioning practices; road inspection, and maintenance practices; erosion control and erosion prevention practices, and spoils management. Throughout the course we will emphasize the concepts of making our road systems as "hydrologically invisible" and as resilient to storm events as possible. We will also focus on educating participants about how best to address the root causes of observed erosion problems, through both maintenance and repair practices at each potential work site. Please visit the SRF website www.calsalmon.org to see the field school registration form or call (707) 923-7501.
