2019 Annual Report Trinity River Restoration Program

The Trinity River Restoration Program (TRRP) is a partnership comprised of Federal, State, Tribal, and Trinity County entities that collaborate to restore the
Trinity River between Lewiston Dam and the confluence of the North Fork Trinity River, California (Figure 1). The partnership is administered by two U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) agencies: the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Partners share in the decision-making process through their participation on the Trinity Management Council (TMC). The TMC functions as a board of directors that sets priorities and schedules for strategic implementation by the Program’s Executive Director. Partners on the Trinity Management Council include:

• Hoopa Valley Tribe (HVT)
• Yurok Tribe (YT)
• Trinity County, CA
• California Natural Resources Agency (which includes California’s Department of Water Resources [CDWR] and Department of Fish and Wildlife [CDFW])
• U.S. Forest Service (USFS)
• National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries (NOAA Fisheries)

This 2019 annual report highlights accomplishments achieved throughout the year as well as the extensive planning activities, environmental permitting, and monitoring efforts across disciplines, including upcoming synthesis reports. These comprehensive assessments on various performance measures have been underway for the past several years as part of TRRP’s work to provide quality science and modelling that will better inform future actions.
