SACRAMENTO -- The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has released a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the Clover Creek / Millville Diversion Fisheries Restoration Project.
The Proposed Action is located on Clover Creek, tributary to Cow Creek in Shasta County, California. The Proposed Action would improve fish passage fish passage
Fish passage is the ability of fish or other aquatic species to move freely throughout their life to find food, reproduce, and complete their natural migration cycles. Millions of barriers to fish passage across the country are fragmenting habitat and leading to species declines. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's National Fish Passage Program is working to reconnect watersheds to benefit both wildlife and people.
Learn more about fish passage conditions at two separate sites that currently block fish passage: a concrete inverted siphon and the Millville Diversion Dam.
The Proposed Action would improve anadromous fish access to spawning, rearing and holding stream habitat upstream of the project site through installation of fish ladders, and would improve fish passage downstream of the project site through fish screen, bypass pipe installation and an associated exposed siphon upgrade.
The FONSI was prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act. For additional information or to request a copy of the FONSI, please contact Dan Meier at: 916-414-6725 or Dan_Meier@fws.gov.
