Document Description
During the 1980's, the California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR), in consultation with the Department of Fish and Game and other stakeholders, placed approximately 2,500 tires at three remote locations around Lake Oroville to increase fish habitat. Over the years many of the tires are no longer anchored, have become partially filled with silt, are unable to drain, and become a breeding ground for mosquitoes as the tires become exposed. The DPR has determined that the tires are no longer functioning in their intended beneficial use and now pose a nuisance.
