The federal Bureau of Reclamation signed a Record of Decision for the Long-Term Plan to Protect Adult Salmon in the Lower Klamath River.This fulfills Reclamation’s commitment to the U.S. District Court, Eastern District, to provide a long-term approach to avoiding a fish die-off in the lower Klamath River. Reclamation said with this decision it is providing greater certainty for all stakeholders involved while decreasing the costs that were associated with implementing an annual program.The preferred alternative includes augmenting flows in the lower Klamath with water from the Trinity reservoir, via Trinity River, to reduce the likelihood and severity of any fish disease outbreak that could lead to an associated fish die-off, as occurred in 2002.Augmentation flows are to be considered under an adaptive management approach when flow of the lower Klamath River is projected to be less than 2,800 cubic feet per second in late summer.The ROD will establish management direction through 2030. Reclamation said it will work to avoid or minimize any water supply impacts from the releases in the years they occur.
