Title: Steelhead Rearing
Habitat Map
Abstract: This map contains
features that depict seasonal steelhead rearing habitat. The
features were derived from the USGS hydrography layer,
that consists of flowing waters (rivers and streams), standing
waters (lakes and ponds), and wetlands -- both natural and
manmade. Line features have attribute codes that represent
streams or shorelines. The hydrography layer was assembled from
data originally published by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in Digital
Line Graph (DLG-3) format. DLG-3 data were generated by USGS from
1:100,000-scale maps by manual digitizing and raster scanning.
Reaches were identified from the hydrography layer that contained
potential steelhead habitat. A 1000-ft buffer was created that
outlines the seasonal rearing habitat as defined by Monterey Peninsula
Water Management District surveys and historical observations.
Purpose: Provide a visual
representation of relevant steelhead rearing habitats in the Carmel River
Watershed.

Title: Benthic
Macroinvertebrate Bioassessment Sample Sites
Map
Abstract: The Monterey
Peninsula Water Management District initiated a biological monitoring
program for the Carmel River in the fall of 2000 to help evaluate its
water and physical habitat quality and establish a baseline of
information. This information will be used in conjunction with other
water quality assessment programs to assess effects of future land and
water use activities. District staff recognized that monitoring of
aquatic benthic macroinvertebrates could supplement and complement their
ongoing surface water quality sampling.
Purpose: Because of benthic
macroinvertebrate (BMI) abundance, taxonomic diversity and range of
response to changes in their aquatic environment, BMI were used to monitor
the quality of surface water resources. These sites help MPWMD
staff monitor water and habitat quality.

Title: Red Legged Frog
Sightings Map
Abstract: Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) was used to determine where California
red-legged frog (CRLF) Rana aurora draytonii
surveys are necessary and for the analysis of CRLF locations and
habitat characteristics to determine population distribution, reproductive
habitat, and potential reproductive habitat within the Carmel River
Watershed. Data from MPWMD, Calif. Dept. of Fish and Game and other
sources were used to compile the sighting locations.
Purpose: This GIS
database will serve as a tool to enable the Monterey Peninsula Water
Management District (MPWMD) to track the CRLF population in restoration
projects and to evaluate how water resources affect CRLF habitat on the
Carmel River, Monterey County,California.
It will also serve as an educational tool for other public agencies and
the community to gain understanding about the ecology of the California
red-legged frog in this region.

Title: Proper Functioning
Condition Assessment of The Carmel River and Tributaries
Abstract: Proper functioning
condition (PFC) is a qualitative method developed by the U.S. Bureau of
Land Management and U.S. Forest Service to assess the condition of
riparian-wetland areas based on hydrology, vegetation, and
erosion/deposition (soils) attributes. A total of 17 “yes/no” questions
are posed about the characteristics of the stream, resulting in one of
three ratings that reflect stream resiliency: (1) proper functioning
condition; (2) functional-at-risk; or (3) non-functional. A rating of
“proper functioning condition” means that a stream is resilient, i.e.,
the riparian-wetland area is stable during most high-flow events. A
resilient stream produces desired values such as high quality fish and
bird habitat. “Functional-at-risk” means the stream reach is currently
functional, but is at risk of becoming non-functional due to an observed
condition that could impact the reach in the future. “Non-functional”
indicates that there is a condition in the reach or watershed interfering
with the natural functions of the stream. These PFC assessments
were performed by two interdisciplinary teams with local, on-the-ground
experience in the quantitative sampling techniques that support the PFC
checklist. The 37 PFC assessments for the Carmel River were performed by
Monterey Peninsula Water Management District (MPWMD), and 95 tributary
assessments were performed by the Carmel River Watershed Conservancy.
Purpose: To evaluate the
functioning condition of the Carmel River and associated tributaries in
the Carmel River watershed

Title:
Valley Hills Restoration Project: Quantification of Riparian
Vegetative Cover
Abstract: In 1984, the
Monterey Peninsula Water Management District (MPWMD) developed the Carmel
River Management Plan to address erosion, property loss, and the decline
of Carmel River habitat. Primary goals included the protection of aquatic
and riparian resources within the alluvial portion, and comprehensive stream
restoration using a combination of limited structural protection and
native riparian plants. In 1984, restoration of eight miles of river was
scheduled to be completed by MPWMD within ten years. In 1992 and 1993,
the restoration of the Valley Hills reach was completed and has since
been irrigated. Two aerial photos, taken in July 1991 and July 2003, were
spatially corrected and used to track changes in vegetation development.
The results show that in 1991, prior to the restoration effort, 1.44 acres
of riparian vegetation existed within the total project area of 5.63
acres (26% cover). Twelve years later, after re-contouring of the site
and the planting of cottonwoods, willows, alders, and dogwoods, a total
of 4.10 acres of riparian vegetation exist. This is 73% cover, showing a
185% increase in riparian vegetation in this reach.
Purpose: Quantify the change of vegetative cover of the Valley Hills
Restoration site, using remote sensing and GIS.

Title:
POSTER- Seaside Groundwater Basin Phase 1 Aquifer Storage and Recovery
Project, Panel 1
Abstract: In the Monterey
Peninsula area, surface and groundwater resources are managed by the
Monterey Peninsula Water Management District (District). The District
regulates all water distribution systems within its boundaries.
California American Water (Cal-Am) owns and operates the largest
distribution system within the District and serves approximately 95% of
the water users in the area. Cal-Am produces water from wells in the
Carmel Valley alluvial groundwater basin and the Seaside groundwater
basin. Although these basins are hydrologically separate, they are
hydraulically connected by Cal-Am's
distribution system. Both basins are presently stressed from excessive
pumping. To help address these problems, the District has proposed
a phased Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) Program that would divert
water from the Carmel Valley alluvial groundwater basin during the
high-flow rainy season for injection into the coastal subareas of the
Seaside groundwater basin. This water, which would be treated and
transmitted through the existing Cal-Am distribution system, would be
extracted by dual-purpose injection/recovery wells to meet Cal-Am
customer demand during the low-flow dry season.
Purpose: This poster was created for the 2005 ACWA conference. It
describes the Seaside Groundwater Basin Phase 1 Aquifer Storage and
Recovery Project. This poster is panel 1 of 2.
