Title

Mohave Valley Conservation Area Backwater Project

Description

Bureau of Reclamation proposes to excavate soil to create about 50 acres of backwater channel and associated backwater habitat on a 149-acre portion of a vacant parcel. The backwater channel would be connected to the Colorado River by the construction of inlet and outlet water control structures. The area is currently used as an Off-Highway Vehicle recreation area. The proposed project would be carried out in the following four phases: Vegetation Clearing: Excavation and Construction: Establishment/Re-Vegetation; and Habitat Management, Operations, and Maintenance. The State Lands Commission action is an approval of a 49-year General Lease - Public Agency Use through October 12, 2065.
