> 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
