<p class=MsoNormal>Trinity River Enthusiasts – <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This year’s Trinity River Restoration Program (TRRP) mechanical
channel rehabilitation projects are just starting at Lowden Ranch-Trinity House
Gulch (downstream of Browns Mt Rd) and at Reading Creek (BLM’s Douglas
City campground). Initial work will primarily be at Lowden Ranch where
floodplain material and old tailings will be processed/cleaned for addition to
the river in late July early August. We will only work in the river
during the July 15-Sept 15 in-river work period. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Unfortunately, due to safety concerns, both the Lowden Ranch-Trinity
House Gulch and Reading Creek sites (Douglas City campground) will be closed to
the public during construction. While in-river construction will be
completed by Sept 15, floodplain and upslope work will continue until completion
in approximately December 2010. Until that time, the project sites will be
closed to public access. <o:p></o:p></p>
