Lower Putah Creek Watershed Management Action Plan (WMAP)

Abstract/Description:

The Lower Putah Creek Watershed Management Action Plan (WMAP) represents Phase I of a
three-phase program for enhancing watershed resources in the lower Putah Creek watershed.
The WMAP is a comprehensive science-based and community-based approach to protect and
enhance resources in the lower Putah Creek riparian corridor, including tributaries, extending
from Lake Berryessa to the Yolo Bypass.
The Lower Putah Creek Coordinating Committee (LPCCC), formed by a settlement
agreement (Accord) between Solano County water users and Yolo County environmental
advocates concerning the adequacy of flows to protect fish and wildlife resources of Putah
Creek, consists of representatives of Solano and Yolo counties with interests in the protection
of Putah Creek resources. The LPCCC represents the Boards of Supervisors of Solano and
Yolo counties; Cities of Davis, Fairfield, Suisun, Vacaville, Vallejo, and Winters; Solano County
Water Agency; Solano Irrigation District; Maine Prairie Water District; University of
California, Davis; Putah Creek Council; and riparian landowners. The WMAP is one of the
first actions initiated by the LPCCC, through funding by a grant from the CALFED Bay-Delta
Program. The LPCCC serves as the watershed group joining several primary stakeholders
together to oversee implementation of the Accord and to begin planning for protecting and
enhancing of Putah Creek’s resources.
This is a dynamic WMAP that landowners and other stakeholders can use as a framework and
that will be updated with new information and new ideas to improve the watershed. It
provides landowners and management entities with a blueprint for actions to protect and
enhance resources in the lower Putah Creek watershed in a manner that is compatible with
and respectful of landowner priorities, interests, and concerns.
