For Release: February 28, 2011

The Bureau of Reclamation will hold a public meeting on the scope of issues related to a Resource Management Plan and Environmental Impact Statement for the Contra Loma Reservoir and Recreation Area.

The East Bay Regional Park District operates the area in Contra Costa County for Reclamation under an interim agreement and has requested a renewal of that plan. A Resources Management Plan (RMP) addresses the resources of an area and provides future objectives, goals and management direction on recreational lands. An environmental impact statement must be prepared on an RMP.

The public meeting will be on Thursday, March 3, 2011, from 6 p.m.-8 p.m., at the Prewett Family Park and Community Center, 4701 Lone Tree Way in Antioch, California.
