Upper Mokelumne River Watershed Authority Project

California

The Forest Projects Plan Phase One-B (Project) is an implementation project in eastern Amador County. The Upper Mokelumne River Watershed Authority (UMRWA) will thin 1,595 acres of Eldorado National Forest land with a mixture of mechanical mastication
and hand-thinning techniques.

The outcome of this Project meets the “Healthy Watersheds and Forests” goal in the
SNC Strategic Plan. The larger plan that UMRWA is implementing is focused on the
Upper Mokelumne River watershed, providing downstream benefits to multiple communities within the Sierra Nevada, as well as giving municipal water supply to the nearly two million California residents within East Bay Municipal Utility District’s
service area in the East Bay.
