Execution of the Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement and the Klamath Basin Restoration

Execution of the Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement and the Klamath Basin Restoration

NOTE: No Fish and Game fees required, refer to project. Executing of the Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement and the Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement establishes a process whereby the State of California, along with the State of Oregon, the United States and other Klamath Basin stakeholders, will study and ultimately determine whether and how to remove dams and restore habitat along the Klamath River. This notice documents the Natural Resources Agency's determination that execution of the Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement and the Klamath Basin Restoration Agreement is not a "project" as that term is defined in Public Resources code section 21065. The Agreements do not bind the Natural Resources Agency of any other public agency to any course of action; rather, they establish a process whereby certain actions will be analyzed, including environmental review pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act and California Environmental Quality Act, for consideration by the Secretary of the Interior as well as the states of California and Oregon. Approval of any of the activities described in the Agreements will comply, to the extent required, with NEPA and CEQA.
