Reclamation Begins Upper Klamath Lake Releases for the Klamath Project

Source: Bureau of Reclamation, Mid-Pacific Region

 
The Bureau of Reclamation's Klamath Basin Area Office announced releases will begin from Upper
Klamath Lake today. The releases will be controlled with the intention to maintain lake levels as stated
in the 2010 Operations Plan. Complete charging of the canals could take as long as 10 days. The
irrigation districts may begin deliveries to their customers as water becomes available.

“Reclamation will monitor lake levels closely and continue to work with our irrigation contractors,
resource agencies, and Tribal interests” said Ms. Sue Fry, Klamath Project Area Manager. “Every effort
will be made to release available water to the contractors while maintaining our legal and Tribal
obligations,” she added.

The 2010 Operations Plan is available at http://www.usbr.gov/mp/kbao. For questions or to request
copies of the plan, please contact Mr. Kevin Moore, Bureau of Reclamation, Klamath Basin Area
Office, e-mail klmoore@usbr.gov or 541-880-2557 (TTY 916-978-5608).
