Current Status Sacramento County recently adopted a revised American River Parkway Plan which includes specific policies related to implementing water flows protective of the lower American River ecosystem. The Parkway Plan serves as a guide for other local, state and federal agencies with authority within the American River Parkway under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act and the Urban American River Parkway Preservation Act. Sacramento County, through the Water Forum, is in the process of preparing a draft environmental impact report to institute the FMS consistent with the American River Parkway Plan and the coequal goals of the Water Forum Agreement by entering into an operations agreement with Reclamation or by seeking to modify Reclamation’s Folsom Dam water right permits or other measures. Reclamation has been operating the Folsom and Nimbus Dams in accordance with the minimum release requirements of the FMS since 2006. In 2009, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) included the FMS flow, operational criteria, American River Group, and monitoring requirements in the Reasonable and Prudent Alternatives of the Biological Opinion (BO) for operating the CVP. The NMFS BO also called for an iterative temperature management planning process that is consistent with the water temperature objectives of the FMS. The Water Forum is currently investigating the potential for an improved Flow Standard for the lower American River that would provide increased protection of salmonid species and improved water supply reliability.
