The proposed Project will conduct river rehabilitation activities at four locations downstream of the TRRP's recently constructed Hocker Flat Channel Rehabilitation Project at Junction City, California. These channel rehabilitation projects are identified in the Secretary of the Interior's December 19, 2000, Record of Decision as a necessary step towards restoration of the Trinity River's anadromous fishery. Together, Hocker Flat and the proposed Project include work at five sites that will enhance river processes locally and are also expected to increase and maintain fisheries habitat throughout the Trinity River reach below Canyon Creek. The proposed Project will accomplish this by re-contouring bank and floodplain features during fall 2006.
The FONSI-EA/Final EIR includes the EA/Draft EIR (incorporated by reference), a list of persons and agencies commenting on the EA/Draft EIR, written comments, Lead Agency responses to comments, revised EA/Draft EIR text, and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the proposed Project. The document will be used to support necessary permit applications as well as identify and adopt appropriate monitoring and mitigation plans.
