*Public Meeting: Public Meeting: Wednesday, December 2nd, 2015at the
Lewiston Moose Lodge, Lewiston, CA 6:30 to 8:30pm*
As part of the Trinity River Restoration Program (TRRP) channel
rehabilitation activities, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the U.S.
Bureau of Land Management (federal co-lead agencies), and the North Coast
Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Water Board – State lead
agency), invite you to this December meeting to learn about proposed 2016
construction at the Bucktail Channel Rehabilitation site (Bucktail) and to
provide your input. *input. 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. The comment period will extend from the date of
posting though January 4, 2016. Hard copies are available for review at the
TRRP office (by Tops Grocery) or at the Trinity County library.
For further information or to submit a comment, please contact Mr. Brandt
Gutermuth, TRRP office, P.O. Box 1300,
Weaverville, CA 96093 at 623-1806 or e-mail bgutermuth at usbr.gov.
