Mendocino Complex Erosion Pollutant Mitigation

From July 27 to September 18 2018 the Mendocino Complex Fire, the largest in California history, burned more than 450,000 acres in four counties, with the largest portion in northern Lake County. Although no lives were lost and property damage was comparatively minor, habitat loss was immense and the threat of increased sedimentation into Clear Lake is significant. To mitigate these impacts and provide an example of Best Management Practices (BMPs) the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board (Water Board) awarded a $605,000 grant to the Lake County RCD to install and maintain erosion and sediment control  (BMPs) in areas identified by the Water Board as being of particularly high priority.
