font-family:Arial'>The Bureau of Reclamation is conducting the Shasta Lake
Water Resources Investigation (SLWRI). The feasibility study and
subsequent report for the SLWRI will include an Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) consistent with requirements of the National Environmental Policy
Act. A Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare the EIS was published in the
Federal Register on Friday, October 7, 2005. A new meeting location in <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Redding</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">California</st1:State></st1:place>,
has been added, and a revised NOI is anticipated to be posted in the Federal
Register on Monday, October 24, 2005.<br>
<br>
Seven public scoping meetings are being held to solicit public input on
topics to be addressed in the integrated SLWRI planning report and EIS,
including resources to be evaluated, alternatives to be considered, and
significant concerns and issues. The meetings will be held as open
houses, allowing participants the opportunity to drop by anytime during the
scheduled times and interact directly with the SLWRI study team. The
meetings are scheduled as follows:<br>

The SLWRI is being conducted to develop an implementable plan principally
involving the enlargement of Shasta Dam and reservoir to address two primary
objectives: (1) to increase the survival of anadromous fish populations
in the upper Sacramento River, and (2) to increase water supply reliability for
agricultural, municipal and industrial, and environmental purposes. The
SLWRI will also, to the extent possible through meeting these primary
objectives, include features to benefit other identified ecosystem, flood
control, and related water resources needs.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
