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 March meeting to learn about proposed 2015 construction at the Limekiln Gulch (LKG) Channel Rehabilitation site and to provide your input. On Wednesday March 11th, 2015, the LKG meeting will be held at the Douglas City School in Douglas City, CA from 6:30 to 8:00pm. Project information will be presented and comments on the scope of the project will be accepted.
The LKG site is located on the mainstem Trinity River, about 0.3 miles upstream of Steel Bridge Campground near Douglas City, CA. The TRRP proposes to construct LKG in summer 2015 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) 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 meets California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements will be available on the TRRP website in March 2015 at www.trrp.net, and on Reclamation’s website: http://www.usbr.gov/mp/nepa/nepa_projdetails.cfm?Project_ID=20621 for a 30 day public review and comment period. This meeting is to receive public input and to share present design alternatives. 
For further information, please contact Mr. Brandt Gutermuth, Bureau of Reclamation, at 623-1806 or e-mail bgutermuth at usbr.gov.
