 About the Shasta River CRMP and Frequently Asked Question
The landowners who founded the Shasta CRMP recognized that many of the water quality problems that affect salmon were the result of the cumulative impacts of agricultural practices along streams in the Shasta Basin.
In 1991 Shasta Valley residents gathered to discuss the likelihood that anadromous fish in the Shasta and Klamath Rivers might be listed as either threatened or endangered, and what impacts such a listing might have on farming and ranching.
In 1992, Shasta CRMP staff noted that large numbers of juvenile salmon were apparently killed when water temperatures in the Shasta exceeded lethal limits in late May. In an effort to protect critical production, the Shasta CRMP devised a program of creating pulsed flows in the Shasta in May and June in low water years.
