The organizations that are part of it and being funded, and then you know who. Let me put it out like this, 40 miles of river on the trinity from the north fork to lewiston has been restored to the sum of 500 million dollars since 2001, around 45 projects or so. I can get exact details if needed.

This project is only 1 project, no river miles, not 24yrs to make and its 100 million dollars. 30million from CDFW, 70million from Yuba County water, who really doesn't have that kinda money. The money doesn't add up. They aren't moving mountains, they aren't removing dams, they aren't rerouting the river, they are making a wanna be "side channel" that won't be worth 100 million, let alone that after the first big flood.

Worse yet, one of the gentleman that's been on the forefront of the restoration efforts on the Yuba, I'll keep his name out of this reply, did not, i repeat DID NOT sign off on this fishway.

This should tell you something.

You look at this as a positive for the sturgeon salmon steelhead and trout, yes, but there's absolutely no prevention keeping out stripers and shad and they will, without a shadow of a doubt make their way into this fishway and above Daguerre Point Dam. Only thing stopping them since 1910 is Daguerre Point Dam. That will happen and kiss the Yuba, the last wild/native anadromous river in the central valley, one of the last in the state and a designated heritage trout water goodbye.

If there's even a slight possibility of invasive predators like stripers and shad getting above daguerre, this plan should be put on hold until something better can be drawn up.

Won't even get into the actual design of the fishway. Let's just say, knowing how that river moves and flows in that lower section above daguerre, it will fill in after the first big high water and kiss that 100million goodbye.

Still waiting for any type of studies to back up cdfws statements, which they have none. And might I add, someone decided to "auto-pen" the nepa cesa and ceqa paperwork
