information will be presented and comments on the scope of the project will be accepted.</strong></div><div style="margin-bottom: 22px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent;" class="">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.</div><div style="margin-bottom: 22px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent;" class="">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 <a href="http://www.trrp.net/" style="border: 0px; outline-width: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(21, 64, 221); text-decoration: none;" class="">www.trrp.net</a>, and on Reclamation’s website: <a href="http://www.usbr.gov/mp/nepa/nepa_projdetails.cfm?Project_ID=20621" style="border: 0px; outline-width: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(21, 64, 221); text-decoration: none;" class="">http://www.usbr.gov/mp/nepa/nepa_projdetails.cfm?Project_ID=20621</a> for a 30 day public review and
