SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The Bureau of Reclamation prepared an Environmental Assessment for Resighini Rancheria Junior Creek Culverts Replacement Project. The project will replace three deteriorated culverts with four modernized culverts designed to pass fish and flood flows. Replacement of the culverts will restore seasonal flow downstream of the culverts and relieve area flooding. The project will take place entirely on lands belonging to the Resighini Rancheria, south east of Klamath in Del Norte County, California.

The EA was prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act and is available at https://www.usbr.gov/mp/nepa/nepa_project_details.php?Project_ID=30187. Please send comments on the EA by close of business, Friday, Sept. 29 to Dan Cordova, Bureau of Reclamation, 2800 Cottage Way, MP-152, Sacramento, CA 95825 or by email dcordova@usbr.gov. For questions on the project or to request a copy of the EA, please contact Cordova at 916 -978-5483 (TTY 800-877-8339).
