Implementation Plan
May 2018 (1.5MB)
This 20-page progress preport is the update following the September 2015 report. 2016 had the highest number of violations since 2000, raising concerns about the length of time to attainment. An updated hydrologic model is needed.

This 19-page progress report is the update following the September 2010 report. Hydrologic model performance should be re-evaluated as called for previously.
September 2010 (500KB)
This 17-page progress preport is the update following the September 2007 report. The lake has fluctuated around 6383 feet in recent years, and 2010 might have the highest number of violations since monitoring began, raising concerns about the length of time to attainment. Hydrologic model performance should be re-evaluated as called for previously.

California Partners in Flight Bird Conservation
Plans:
Riparian
Bird Conservation Plan
The California Partners in Flight (CalPIF) program, made possible
through funding from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation and
significant contributions of time and funding from many other CalPIF
partners, has completed six habitat and bioregion based Bird
Conservation Plans (BCP's) for Riparian, Oak Woodlands, Coastal
Scrub and Chaparral, Grasslands, Coniferous Forests, and the Sierra
Nevada Bioregion. Plans are in development for Shrubsteppe and
Desert habitats. The CalPIF program is part of the international
Partners in Flight Initiative.
