“to restore and maintain the Trinity River’s anadromous fishery resources … [by] … rehabilitating the river itself”
– U.S. Department of Interior, Record of Decision, 2000

PROGRAM PURPOSE
The purpose of this Program is to mitigate impacts of the Trinity River Division of the Central Valley Project on anadromous fish populations in the Trinity River by successfully implementing the 2000 Trinity River Record of Decision and achieving Congressionally mandated restoration goals.

PROGRAM GOAL
The long-term goals of the Program are to: 1) restore the form and function of the Trinity River; 2) restore and sustain natural production of anadromous fish populations in the Trinity River to pre-dam levels; and 3) to facilitate full participation by dependent tribal, commercial, and sport fisheries through enhanced harvest opportunities.

 

This short video highlights the history of the Trinity River and outlines the basis for river restoration following water diversions and centuries of harmful impacts from mining and logging.

WELCOME

TRRP is a multi-agency program with eight Partners forming the Trinity Management Council (TMC), plus numerous other collaborators.

The TRRP implements the 2000 Department of Interior (DOI) Record of Decision, which directs DOI to restore the fisheries of the Trinity River impacted by dam construction and related diversions of the Trinity River Division (TRD) of the Central Valley Project. Water diversions of the TRD compounded impacts to the river that occurred from gold mining and historic logging.
The main Program office is located in Weaverville, CA (contact), with staff working in the Program across various Partner offices.

The Trinity River was designated a Wild and Scenic River in 1981.

Current Flows

Most data shown here are from the USGS via the waterservices site, plus the USBR and CDWR via the California Data Exchange. Data are provisional and may be recalculated before final approval. The TRRP site checks for new sub-daily values every 15 minutes and for new daily values twice per day. Note that “Full Natural Flow” is an automated estimate from CDWR of the flow that would naturally pass the Trinity Dam site if unimpeded – it is very sensitive to small variations in lake level measurements that may result in negative values when flows would naturally be low, but is more useful for storm events, snowmelt, and averages over longer times. The graphic for water released to the Trinity River versus the Central Valley tends to show higher values for the river ​until summer, when water exports ​to the Central Valley ​typically increase.
