Save Champlin Creek - Steelhead Habitat!
A grassroots clearinghouse for information about this beautiful and imperiled canyon in Sonoma County, California.
Beautiful and abused Champlin Creek in Sonoma County has many factors working against it:
... Water grab for vineyards threatens the presence of listed steelhead.
... Quarry runoff pours into it.
... A by-product of the municipal dump transfer station is air born litter.
... Animal waste washes directly into the creek.
... Livestock has churned up this fragile stream bed.
... Illegal dumping is in evidence.
... Vineyards encroach Champlin Creek from all directions, adding silt and toxins.
... Highway 116 desperately needs to be widened -- with a sensible plan that will keep water quality in mind!
It's time to clean it up and restore Champlin Creek to it's natural health.
