Description:
Abstract:
"This data layer represents locations of existing and potential barriers to salmonid migration in the Russian River watershed. Features from the original source data (see Originator information) were selected based on their spatial location within the Russian River watershed in Sonoma and Mendocino counties in California (the study area boundary of the Russian River Watershed Adaptive Management Plan project). This metadata file incorporates new information to the metadata of the original source data. This new information is indicated in quotation marks."

The Passage Assessment Database shapefile includes locations of existing and potential barriers to salmonid migration in California streams with basic information about each record.
Purpose:
"This data layer was edited from its original source data set for inclusion in the Russian River Watershed Adaptive Management Plan (RRWAMP) and RRWAMP Baseline Watershed Assessment project. The intended use of this data layer in this project is to examine landscape or human factors to promote ecological health and sustainability within the Russian River watershed."

The Passage Assessment Database (PAD) is an ongoing inventory of known and potential barriers to anadromous fish in California. It compiles currently available fish passage information from more than 100 data sources, and allows past and future barrier assessments to be standardized and stored in one place. The inventory is to be used to identify barriers suitable for removal or modification to restore spawning and riparian habitat for salmon and steelhead, and to enhance aquatic and riparian habitat.

The PAD is intended to be compatible with a variety of other data sets related to anadromous fish issues. All PAD records are saved with geographic location information. With a small number of exceptions (discussed in detail in the PAD Methodology document), all locations are stored in a shapefile. This file can be used to represent the known and potential barriers on maps or to provide latitude/longitude coordinates. The shapefile is created by digitizing the fish barrier records along the streams in which they are located. Each barrier record is referenced to standardized hydrography allowing the user to combine the PAD with other fisheries data tied to the same hydrography. For a more detailed description of the digitizing process refer to the PAD Methodology.

A module containing information specific to the DFG Fish Screen and Fish Passage Program has been added. The Fish Screen and Fish Passage Program (FSFPP) conducts inventories of all screened and unscreened diversions and fish passage problems via site visits; it gathers information on the size and number of diversions at each site and presence of existing fish protective facilities. The FSFPP database is fairly comprehesive for the Central Valley streams (Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers systems) and complements PAD that focuses mainly on California's coastal region.

A module specific to water rights obtained from the State Water Resource Control Board has been also added to the PAD. The Water Rights Module contains locations of water rights (WR) in coastal watersheds, WR application number and permit issue date, maximum permitted direct diversion and storage rates and season of operation. The PAD now enables to search trough water rights on a stream and a watershed basis as well as to calculate total amounts of permitted maximum diversion rates for a single stream or in a watershed.

The Passage Assessment Database was compiled using information about fish passage from a large number of sources. These dataset were originally created for a number of different purposes, from general stream habitat surveys to rigorous assessments of fish barriers. The quality of the data in the PAD will vary depending on the data source, including different amounts of detail and varying degrees of accuracy in location descriptions.
