Rehabilitation Project CEQA Notice of Preparation (NOP) for an Environmental

review and comment for period of thirty (30) days from January 20 to February

font-family:Arial;font-style:italic'>“The Trinity River ROD channel
rehabilitation component focuses attention on the need to physically manipulate
the bank and floodplain features of the Trinity River between River Mile 112.0
(Lewiston Dam) and River Mile 72.4 (North Fork Trinity River). The channel
reconstruction is intended to restore the <st1:place w:st="on">Trinity River</st1:place>’s
historic alternate point bar morphology and habitat complexity to improve
fishery resources. The Indian Creek Rehabilitation Project: Trinity River Mile
93.7 to 96.5 (Project) is the third channel rehabilitation project already
built or in the planning stages that will work together to enhance river
processes and to increase fisheries habitat downstream of <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Lewiston</st1:place></st1:City> Dam. This project has no specific
flood control objectives. The project purpose and need is to provide increased
juvenile salmonid rearing habitat on the mainstem Trinity River, and to reduce
flow impacts to homes and other human improvements located adjacent to the <st1:place
w:st="on">Trinity River</st1:place>, from implementation of ROD flows.”<o:p></o:p></span></font></i></p>
