Last Chance Creek
Last Chance Creek is tributary to Indian Creek in the East Branch North Fork Feather River watershed, with a drainage area of approximately 96.5 square miles (Plumas Corporation, 2016). Basin statistics are not available through the USGS StreamStats application because the Last Chance Creek watershed is in an exclusion area. However, Plumas County data for the 1971 through 2000 period show that the watershed receives average annual precipitation of 23 to 31 inches (Plumas County, 2012).
The Last Chance Creek watershed has been the focus of meadow and channel restoration activities since 1996, with the majority of restoration occurring between 2002 and 2007. Figures 31 and 32 in the data collection document available below illustrate pre- and post- restoration conditions in the Alkali Flat area of Last Chance Creek. In total, approximately 11 miles of channel have been reconnected to the floodplain above the Doyle Crossing station. A CRS unit was installed in 1999. Continuing the long-term data collection at this location is important for evaluating the cumulative impact of multiple meadow restoration projects across a variety of water year types, including severe multi-year droughts. 2017 Data Collection Tables.
