For the last five years, Elizabeth (Liz) Vasquez has served as the Restoration Goal Supervisor for the San Joaquin River Restoration Program of the Bureau of Reclamation. During her time leading the Restoration Goal team, Reclamation played a key role in reconnecting the San Joaquin River, the return of spring-run Chinook salmon, and the removal of our first San Joaquin River fish barriers. Prior to leading the San Joaquin River Restoration Goal team, she worked on restoration of the Klamath River as the Environmental Team Lead for Secretarial Determination on Klamath Dam Removal as well as supporting river restoration on the American River, Sacramento River, and Stanislaus River as part of Reclamation’s Environmental Affairs Division and Central California Area Office.
