Craig Seltenrich <br />Fisheries Estabishment & Mgt. <br />Craig Seltenrich is a senior ecologist with more than 37 years' <br />experience with marine and freshwater ecology, fisheries biology, <br />amphibian ecology, benthic macroinvertebrates (BMIs) and <br />freshwater algae, and aquatic toxicology. He manages, designs, and <br />conducts a variety of aquatic studies and assessments in marine and <br />estuarine environments, and in freshwater lentic and lotic habitats. <br />Mr. Seltenrich specializes in amphibian ecology, and <br />has designed and conducted numerous studies evaluating potential <br />impacts on special -status amphibians and aquatic reptiles in the <br />western Sierra Nevada Mountains, Central Valley, and coastal <br />regions and valleys of central and Northern California. His species <br />expertise includes Yosemite toad (Anaxyrus canorus), Sierra Nevada <br />and foothill yellow -legged frog (Rana sierrae, R. boylir), California <br />tiger salamander (Ambystoma cakforniense), California red -legged <br />frog (R. draytonir), western spadefoot (Spea hammondir), and <br />western pond turtle (Actinemys marmorato). <br />Project Experience <br />Aliso Creek Steelhead Rainbow Trout Surveys, ECORP, Orange <br />County, California (2012).

The surveys <br />were conducted to (1) assess presence/absence of steelhead rainbow trout, (2) assess fish passage to identify <br />potential barriers to upstream or downstream movement, (3) evaluate spawning habitat (substrates), and (4) <br />collect standard water quality data. Mr. Seltenrich was the project and field manager, as well as lead author <br />on the resulting report. <br />Aquatic Habitat Monitoring Surveys on the San Diego River and Santa Ysabel and San Vicente <br />Creeks, City of San Diego, California (2012). Spring and fall aquatic habitat monitoring surveys were <br />conducted at two impacted sites on the San Diego River downstream of EI Capitan Dam and at two control <br />sites located on Santa Ysabel and San Vicente creeks. A modified CRAM and Surface Water Ambient <br />Monitoring Program (SWAMP) aquatic bioassessment was used at each location. Water quality, physical <br />habitat characterization, benthic macroinvertebrate sampling, and water samples were collected at each of <br />the sites during the spring surveys. Physical habitat monitoring was only conducted during the fall surveys. <br />Mr. Seltenrich provided technical advice for the project and prepared the majority of the 3 -year monitoring <br />report. <br />Instream Flow and Sediment Studies on the Bear River and Deer Creek, Nevada Irrigation District, <br />Placer County, California (2012). The Nevada Irrigation District is in the process of licensing 10 water right <br />permits, and as a result, instream flow and sediment studies were required for both the Bear River and Deer <br />Creek. Mr. Seltenrich was responsible for conducting and evaluating benthic macroinvertebrate surveys, <br />DUDEK Pagel of 2 <br />25E-62 <br />
