Five Counties Memorandum of Agreement. The program began with an MOU between the Boards of Supervisors of each 5C County which has been updated with the transfer of the Program to the Northwest California Resource Conservation & Development Council.
Assessment Reports:
- “Effects of County Land Use Regulations and Management on Anadromous Salmonids and Their Habitats: Humboldt, Del Norte, Mendocino, Siskiyou and Trinity Counties, California” PDF File (322 KB). An Audit of the Five Counties, completed in 1998 by UCCE.
- “Policies and Procedures for Protecting Anadromous Salmonid Habitat in Del Norte, Humboldt, Mendocino, Trinity and Siskiyou Counties" PDF File (3.77 MB). Phase I Final Report on the Re-Assessment of County Land Use Regulations and Management, completed in 2008.
- After that Phase I review of policies, Phase II, which focused on a field review of policy and practice implementation was completed in 2011. A report of Phase II work that provides a summary of findings, conclusions, and corresponding recommendations is available: “Policies and Procedures for Protecting Anadromous Salmonid Habitat in Del Norte, Humboldt, Mendocino, Trinity and Siskiyou Counties. Field Assessment of Management Practices.” Recommendations are based on observations made in the first and second phases of the reassessment.”
