The Bull Creek channel and its watershed exemplify the North-Coast’s century-and-a-half history of early settlement centered on rapid and excessive resource extraction leading to erosion, instream sediment deposition, and reduced quality and quantity of instream salmonid habitat.

The project consisted of removal of defunct fish ladder and pool structures and installation of new channel grades and rock structures, floodplain creation, new pedestrian bridge and native plant installation.

The project restores the natural hydrology of the former Steele Ranch property, raising the seasonal groundwater table to support wet meadow and riparian habitat. Work will support the continued maintenance of current habitat and create additional seasonal and perennial open water with enhanced adjacent upland habitat for the benefit of California Red Legged Frogs and San Francisco Garter Snakes.

At the instruction of Sonoma Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District (Sonoma Ag & OSD), Hanford performed tasks aimed at 1. Understory thinning and 2. A shaded fuel break at Saddle Mountain Open Space Preserve in Santa Rosa, California.

Work demolished and removed the former Cedar Creek Hatchery concrete dam and associated structures which were a migration barrier to anadromous salmonids.

This project was focused on the restoration and stabilization for post fire recovery of the 2020 Glass Fire wildfire in Northern California, that started on September 27, 2020 and remained active for 23 days.

Excavation of backwater alcoves and side channels into the floodplain areas of Dry Creek, installation of habitat and stabilization structures, stabilization of banks, planting and replanting riparian vegetation and trees, removal of non-native riparian vegetation, construction…

The Lookout Slough Project will provide the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) with high-quality Delta smelt habitat to help the state meet the requirements of an Endangered Species Act biological opinion. EIP is providing DWR with a large-scale…

The purpose of the Bioregional Habitat Restoration (“BHR”) program is to fulfill mitigation obligations by making ecosystem-level improvements to habitat for rare and endangered species. The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) has developed compensation sites to preserve, enhance, restore, or establish approximately 2,050 acres of native habitat ranging from ponds to wetlands to oak savannah.
