A report submitted to the Shasta County Department of Health as part of the requirements under the Clean Water Act and its Ammentments for the license to operate a surface supply drinking water system.
Location: - - T28N, R4W, Sections 26, 27. Gated timberland in private ownership and controlled by the timber company's forestry staff. Subject to landslides, floods, and fire. No structures, grazing, or water diversions. Possible problems from logging, wild animal populations, sediment from storm water runoff, and recreational uses. There is no public access and the roads have locked gates. Any logging will be subject to the Forest Practices Act, which requires 60 feet of buffer zone along the stream. Complete description of conditions on Fall Creek are in the Text Report.
The pictures were taken the spring following record flooding in Northern California. Many adjacent watersheds were damaged, including the one facing Fall Creek. As the pictures show, Fall Creek held up well. There are few leaves on the trees, so the water in the creek shows up in the pictures. Otherwise many of the views would be blocked and the stream shaded.
