Merced River Corridor Restoration Plan
The Restoration Plan represents a multi-year collaboration among a abroad spectrum of participants. The project was implemented in three phases. In Phase 1, which was funded by the Central Valley Project Improvement Act-Anadromous fish Restoration Program, the Merced River Stakeholder Group and Merced River Technical Advisory Committee were established.
In Phase II, which was funded by CALFED, Stillwater Sciences conducted baseline geomorphic and ecological studies, evaluated social, infrastructural, and institutional issues and concerns that define opportunities, and constrains for restoration in the Merced River Corridor.
In Phase III, which was also funded by CALFED, Stillwater Sciences completed field and modeling efforts and developed design guidelines for channel and floodplain restoration. The Restoration Plan was developed in Phase III by the Project Team, Merced River Stakeholders Group, and Technical Advisory Committee.
The restoration planning process was designed to provide a technically sound, publicly supported, and implementable plan to improve geomorphic and ecological functions in the Merced River corridor from crocker-Huffman Dam to the confluence with the San Joaquin River.
