Remember going picnicking there!
Use to go up there for easter when I was growing up in the early 80’s
Remember getting run over there on bros new kawi by drunk driver,,,,hate that place,,,,,,#13aug78
Crazy how one mans decision can make a difference… If you ask me it’s kinda bs.
Well, let’s see;
The State of California wouldn’t allow repair to the road because the flooding washed the creeks’ natural habitat onto the roadside. The California F&G agency won’t allow anything to “mess” with the spawning grounds of the unarmored three spine stickleback fish. Which has not been seen in the wild in Bouquet Creek for years. There are reports of it’s existence, but they are not “proven”.
The state of California is responsible for the roadbed of Bouquet Canyon Road, but not for the fish. But the US EPA is also responsible for endangered species – of which the fish is one.
There is no “natural” flow of water into Bouquet Canyon, because the LADWP’s Bouquet Reservoir lies directly upon the canyon that feeds it. Part of the agreement between LADWP, the State, and the Feds is that the reservoir will pass on an equal amount of water into the canyon(creek)that it receives from upstream runoff. The reservoir itself is filled by Owens Valley water from the LA Aqueduct. When the rain and floods of 2005 caused the creek bed (below the reservoir) to be flooded with mud and also to close the road, releases from Bouquet Reservoir were stopped in order to prevent further damage and erosion to Bouquet Canyon Road.
That’s the way it has remained from 2005 to 2015. The Feds (various agencies) the State, and LADWP were locked up and no one could start to fix things until a multi-governmental agreement could be crafted.
That is why LARC has been trucking water in to keep their staff and resident’s alive. That is why Lombardi Ranch and other downstream users/entitlements have been sucking air instead of water from their wells.
The Prince of District Five (LACO Supervisor Mike Antonovich) was in a unique position to bring all these groups together and fix the problem. Hooray for Mike! It only took him 10 years to make it happen.
I am glad to see something is finally being done. My father used to take me fishing there as a kid. Now my daughter age 8 is excited about fishing as I am and loves anytime we can go. Hopefully they will start stocking trout again after this is done. Of course good luck on that since they don’t stock any other creeks around here for us to have fun with our children!!!
I agree! They should pump water into the Santa Clara (dry) River and stock it with fish for fishing, pic nic’g, maybe even entertubing?? That would make this town awesome (for reals). We have nothing like that and it kinda bums me out :,-(
