The Assistant will help American Rivers’ California flood management program protect and restore floodplains in the Sacramento-San Joaquin river and delta system, promote opportunities for Central Valley communities to recreate on Central Valley rivers, and promote a river stewardship ethic among California decision makers. The Flood Management Administrative Assistant will report to the program Director and will work closely with the Associate Director of California Operations in the Nevada City office. American Rivers’ vision is to restore vibrant river corridors across the Central Valley to solve two of the region’s most persistent problems – devastating floods and declining fisheries. Expanding floodways will restore fish and bird habitat, protect communities from flooding, improve reservoir flexibility and associated water supply reliability, and enhance the quality of life for residents of the valley. American Rivers is building its capacity to take best advantage of four interrelated forums over coming years to restore Central Valley fish and bird habitat, improve water supply security, and protect communities from flooding, including the Central Valley Flood Management Plan, the Bay Delta Conservation Plan, the Delta Stewardship Council and the Delta Plan, and the State Water Resources Control Board.
