4. FIELD INSPECTION OF CARMEL RIVER LAGOON AND VICINITY – The group inspected the work done by State Parks at the mouth of the river in July to close the lagoon. Bob Zampatti stated that he was at the meeting because he is interested in steelhead. Annette Thorn, representing the CRLC, asked what can be done to protect Scenic Road from erosion. Larry Hampson described some of the work by the Lagoon Technical Advisory Committee to develop a long term management plan for the lagoon and surrounding area.

The group then inspected the riparian area immediately downstream of Highway 1 in the CALTRANS/State Parks restoration area. In response to questions from Margaret Robbins about maintaining the capacity of the river to pass high flows by removing vegetation, Thomas Christensen explained MPWMD’s vegetation management plan for the river upstream of Highway 1 and suggested that vegetation could be selectively thinned and removed from the floodplain area. Mr. Christensen said that because the focus of the work would be to improve flood capacity, MPWMD would not take the lead in such a project, but could provide technical assistance to a lead agency such as CSA 50 or the Monterey County Water Resources Agency.

5. ADJOURN TO 11 A.M. SESSION – the field session was adjourned at approximately 11:45 a.m. John Dalessio suggested that the Committee reconvene at the field session site.
