Proposition 50 Agricultural Water Quality Grant Program Upper Feather River Watershed Irrigation Discharge Management Program Agreement No: 04-317-555-0 The Prop 50 Grant was a three year study lead by Plumas-Sierra University of California Cooperative Extension Natural Resource Advisor Holly George who worked with UC Davis Specialists and Upper Feather River Watershed Group landowners to learn more about the impacts of local irrigated agriculture in the upper Feather River watershed region. The overall objective was to interact with local agricultural landowners and support work activities within the UFRW which are responsive to agricultural discharge waiver programs and address water quality issues associated with discharge from irrigated lands in this area. The three year program consisted of Phase I and Phase II Monitoring Studies as well as Special Study Projects which were completed with the assistance of UC Davis specialists.

Prop 50 Phase II - Working with Volunteer Landowners
Prop 50 funded Phase II enabled interested landowners to participate in on-ranch
monitoring to take a closer look at individual water quality objectives and to provide an
additional tool to the landowner and ranch managers for management planning to help
achieve water quality goals and improve overall ranch production.
The 2007 and 2008 monitoring seasons followed the progress of water quality
management practices on these volunteer landowner systems.
Upper Feather River Watershed landowners interested in developing a special study
project on their Farm or Ranch can contact:
UCCE at 530-283-6270
UFRWGroup at 530-994-3057
NRCS at 530-283-1175
Currently a Rotational Grazing and Irrigation Management Study is being
conducted by a volunteer landowner in Sierra Valley and agency partners to follow-up his
study project initiated under Prop 50 Phase II. The information obtained remains with the
landowner for his benefit for further Ranch Planning.
