Environmental Impact Statement on the Red Bluff Diversion Dam Fish Passage Program, Sacramento Canals Unit, Central Valley Project, California

Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, the Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) intends to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) on the fish passage capability at the Red Bluff Diversion Dam (RBDD). The EIS, in conjunction with the ongoing planning study, will evaluate alternative methods to improve fish passage both upstream and downstream on the Sacramento River. Inefficient fish passage at RBDD has been identified as a contributing factor in the decline in the populations of anadromous fishes (mainly salmon and steelhead) in the upper Sacramento River.
