This Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed Trinity River Winter Flow Variability Project (Winter Flow project, project, or Proposed Action) was prepared by the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI), Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), Trinity River Restoration Program (TRRP, Program) office to meet the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The primary objective of the Winter Flow project is to increase spawning and rearing habitat and to enhance river conditions for salmon and steelhead.

 

Reclamation’s TRRP office is the lead agency under NEPA. TRRP has collaborated on the proposed Winter Flow project with Program partner entities, which include the Hoopa Valley Tribe (HVT), the Yurok Tribe, and federal and state permitting agencies. Federal and state Responsible and Trustee agencies that have supported and contributed to this effort include: the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), National Marine Fisheries Service, California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), and the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (Regional Water Board). The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), which manages public lands along Trinity River, has also endorsed the Proposed Action.
