The upper Yuba River watershed is a heavily managed
basin recovering from hydraulic gold mining that occurred in
the mid 1800s to early 1900s. The Upper Yuba River Studies
Program (UYRSP), a component of the California Bay-Delta
Authority (CBDA) Ecosystem Restoration Program (ERP), is
evaluating options for introducing spring-run Chinook salmon
and steelhead trout upstream of Englebright Dam, which
is located in the foothills of the northwestern Sierra Nevada,
California (fig. 1). This report is one product of on-going studies
by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) (Childs and others,
2003; Flint and others, 2004; Snyder and others, 2004a, 2004b,
2004c; Curtis and others, 2005), which provide a comprehensive
analysis of sediment sources, transport, and storage in the
upper Yuba River watershed. The USGS is also investigating
water quality in the Yuba River watershed and sediment quality
in Englebright Lake, with an emphasis on mercury contamination
and bioaccumulation (Alpers and others, 2004; Slotten,
2004).
