Protection of Fish and Fish Habitat in the Lower American River

Save the American River Association developed and filed a complaint with state regulators contending that Folsom and Nimbus Dams are being operated in a manner that causes harm to fish and fish habitat in the Lower American River. Both flows and water temperatures are inadequate to maintain fish populations and reeds in the river during critical portions of the year. In ten of the last 14 years, temperatures in the Lower American have exceeded safe limits, causing fish to die and inflicting harm on others that were holding or died without spawning. The complaint was co-signed by the California Sportfishing Protection Alliance, California Small Stream Council and Public Trust Alliance.
