NOYES VALLEY CREEK IS ONE OF THE LARGEST TRIBUTARIES TO THE EAST FORK SCOTT RIVER, WHICH SUPPORTS BOTH SPAWNING AND REARING COHO SALMON. NOYES VALLEY CREEK WAS ALSO IDENTIFIED AS A CREEK WITH HIGH INTRINSIC POTENTIAL TO SUPPORT REARING JUVENILE COHO SALMON. HOWEVER, DUE PRIMARILY TO CATTLE GRAZING, DEVELOPMENT, AND ROAD CONSTRUCTION, LOWER NOYES VALLEY CREEK CURRENTLY CONTAINS A CONFINED AND INCISED CHANNEL WITH AREAS OF UNSTABLE AND ERODING BANKS, AND LIMITED RIPARIAN HABITAT. DEGRADED WATER QUALITY IN NOYES VALLEY CREEK LIMITS THE POTENTIAL USE OF THE REACH BY SPAWNING AND REARING COHO SALMON AND MAY CONTINUE TO DEGRADE THE WATER QUALITY OF THE EAST FORKS SCOTT RIVER DOWNSTREAM. PRIMARY PROJECT OBJECTIVES ARE TO INCREASE THE HEALTH OF THE RIPARIAN CORRIDOR, ENCOURAGE NATIVE PLANT RECRUITMENT, AND ENHANCE CHANNEL SHADING BY UTILIZING 3,000 FEET OF RIPARIAN FENCING, 5 RANCH GATES, 1 CONCRETE STOCK-WATER TROUGH SYSTEM AND SOME POTENTIAL FENCE REMOVAL EXISTING FENCE RELOCATION ALONG THE EAST FORK RIPARIAN CORRIDOR. THIS PROJECT WILL GREATLY ENHANCE HABITAT ON APPROXIMATELY 0.5 MILES OF LOWER NOYES VALLEY CREEK BY EXCLUDING CATTLE FROM THE CREEK, IMPROVING BOTH INSTREAM AND RIPARIAN HABITATS. OVER TIME, AS RIPARIAN HABITAT DEVELOPS AND SHADES THE CREEK, THE PROJECT WILL ENHANCE WATER QUALITY IN THE EAST FORK SCOTT RIVER BY PROVIDING A SOURCE OF COLD WATER INPUT.
