2 Outline The Project The River The Experiments The Results and lessons learned
3 Guiding vision The San Rafael River is a dynamic riverine ecosystem and is functioning to provide necessary and sufficient habitat to ensure persistence of native aquatic and riparian species. 1. Recover self-sustaining populations of the three species and other native fish in the San Rafael River (Two tiers) a. Maintain and enhance connectivity between the upper and lower San Rafael River and the Green River b. Increase populations of the three species and other native fishes throughout the San Rafael River 2. Ensure persistence of native riparian vegetation, including willow stands and cottonwood stands with several age classes 3. Provide necessary and sufficient habitat to ensure persistence of native fish and vegetation 4. Conduct sufficient monitoring of restoration impacts to quantitatively assess whether the restoration actions are accomplishing the restoration objectives and to determine the causes of success or failure
4 The Project Biosphere Fish Fish Riparian Veg Fish response Hydrosphere Geosphere Planning Implementation Geomorphic history San Rafael Restoration and Monitoring Plan Habitat response Tamarisk removal, Beaver dam analogs, Gravel Bars
5 The River Green River Public land Private dams Highly regulated Many stakeholders: Agriculture Industry (2 coal fired power plants) Recreation (Little Grand Canyon, river running, off-roading Highly endemic and threatened fish 5
6 San Rafael Swell Biosphere The Three Species Endemic and threatened Desert Reach: Lower population of native fish Confluence with Green River 6
7 Desert Reach: Lower population of native fish Biosphere - competition and predation from non-native fish - dewatering during dry periods - increased water temperatures and - lack of complex habitat (riffles, pools, and backwaters (Bottcher 2009, Budy et al. 2009, Walsworth 2011, Keller 2012). - native fish observed in the lower San Rafael River where complex habitat is available (Bottcher 2009). 7

11 The Experiment The challenge: restoring a river without any water Pilot project: - Experiment with 3 restoration interventions and evaluate their success: 1) Tamarisk removal 2) Beaver dam analogs 3) Artificial gravel bars Location of pilot project 11
12 Tamarisk removal Treatment 63 acres 12
13 Tamarisk Removal Objectives Encourage lateral channel migration Increase wood inputs to river Pre-Flood Promote native vegetation establishment Limited access to floodplain Poor timing Post-Flood
