On Wednesday December 2nd, 2015, the Bucktail meeting will be held at the Lewiston Moose Lodge in Lewiston, CA from 6:30 to 8:30pm. Project information will be presented and comments on the project will be accepted.The Bucktail Site (River Mile (RM) 105.4 – 107.0) is a 110.4 acre site that begins at the Bucktail Bridge and extends upstream approximately 1.5 miles to RM 107.0. The TRRP proposes to construct Bucktail in summer 2016 to increase salmon and steelhead habitat downstream of Lewiston Dam, as described in the December 19, 2000, Record of Decision for the Trinity River Mainstem Fishery Restoration Environmental Impact Statement. The Proposed Project is planned to enhance both terrestrial and aquatic habitat quality. The Project would increase habitat complexity via construction of slow water refuge habitats (e.g., side channels and wetland complexes) for juvenile salmon and steelhead, reconnection of the floodplain with the river, revegetation with native plants, and placement of wood/rock structures to react with flow and create/maintain habitat.The Draft Environmental Document that formally analyzes the impacts of these projects and which meets California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements will be available in November 2015 at www.trrp.net, and on the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s website: http://www.usbr.gov/mp/nepa/nepa_projdetails.cfm?Project_ID=23209 for public review and comment.
