This technical report analyzes the temperature and precipitation-related effects of proposed restoration activities that are part of the Trinity River Watershed Restoration Project (Project). Adverse effects from early European settlement, roads, mining, logging, wildfire and a highly-sought-after water supply, have led to the need for restoration activities proposed by this Project. These activities intend to meet certain restoration objectives, which have been developed over time and incorporate state and federal recovery plan goals (NMFS 2014, CDFG 2004, EPA 1998, EPA 2001).

 

The incremental addition of GHG emissions from millions of individual sources has been shown to collectively have a large impact on a global scale on temperature and precipitation patterns and trends. These changes are not attributable to any single action but are exacerbated by a series of actions. Thus, this analysis addresses impacts to temperature and precipitation with that concept in mind.
