The Bureau of Reclamation has completed a Finding of No Significant Impact and final Environmental Assessment for the proposed Klum Landing Campground Improvement Project at Howard Prairie Reservoir located about 15 miles east of Ashland, Ore.
The final EA evaluates a proposed alternative and a no action alternative for the campground in cooperation with Jackson County Parks. The preferred alternative includes campground improvements such as widening and realigning the roadway; modernizing campsites with paved parking spaces; providing water and electricity hookups at some of the sites; and upgrading facilities and additional campsites that are accessible to people with disabilities. With the FONSI, Reclamation has determined that implementation of the preferred alternative will have no significant impact on the environment.
Reclamation administers the Howard Prairie Reservoir and various sections of adjacent land. A portion of the campground also resides on Oregon & California Railroad property that is under management jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management.
The FONSI and Final EA are available for review. It can be viewed and downloaded on Reclamation's Pacific Northwest Region website at www.usbr.gov/pn/programs/ea/oregon/klum/index.html.
A hard copy is also available for review at the libraries listed below: Jackson County, Ashland Branch Library, 410 Siskiyou Blvd., Ashland OR 97520-2136; the Jackson County - Medford Branch Library, 205 South Central Avenue, Medford OR 97501-7223; and the Klamath County Library, 126 South Third Street, Klamath Falls OR 97601-6319.
