the erection and maintenance of
markers along the Trail, and
interpretation and administration of the
Trail.
The Council shall not exceed 35
members and will be appointed by the
Secretary as follows:
a. The head of each Federal
department or independent agency
administering lands through which the
trail route passes, or a designee;
b. A member to represent each State
through which the trail passes, and such
appointments will be made from
recommendations of the Governors of
such States; and
c. One or more members to represent
private organizations, including
corporate and individual landowners
and land users, which, in the opinion of
the Secretary, have an established and
recognized interest in the trail. Such
appointments will be made from
recommendations of the heads of such
organizations.
Members will be appointed by the
Secretary of the Interior for a term of
two years. Members of the Council
receive no pay, allowances, or benefits

business in the performance of services
for the Council as approved by the
Designated Federal Officer (DFO),

Notice of Intent To Prepare a Draft
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Long-Term Plan To Protect Adult
Salmon in the Lower Klamath River,
Humboldt County, California
Bureau of Reclamation,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of intent and scoping
meetings.
AGENCY:
The Bureau of Reclamation
will prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) to evaluate the effects of
the Long-Term Plan for the Protection of
Adult Salmon in the lower Klamath
River. The proposed action is to
increase lower Klamath River flows to
reduce the likelihood, and potentially
reduce the severity, of any fish die-off
in future years due to crowded holding
conditions for pre-spawn adults, warm
water temperatures, and presence of
disease pathogens as the likely major
factors contributing to the adult
mortalities. The proposed increased
flows would be provided primarily from
releases of water stored in Trinity
Reservoir on the main stem of the
Trinity River, with the potential for
some of the flows to be derived from the
Klamath River above the confluence
with the Trinity River depending on
existing hydrologic and related
environmental conditions. The purpose
of the proposed action is to reduce the
likelihood, and potentially reduce the

severity, of any Ich epizootic event that
could lead to an associated fish die-off
in future years. The need is based on the
past extensive fish die-off in 2002.
DATES: Submit written comments on the
scope of the draft EIS by August 20,
2015. Four public scoping meetings will
be held on the following dates and
times:
• Wednesday, August 5, 2015, 5:30 to
7 p.m., Arcata, CA.
• Thursday, August 6, 2015, 5:30 to 7
p.m., Weaverville, CA.
• Tuesday, August 11, 2015, 5:30 to 7
p.m., Klamath Falls, OR.
• Wednesday, August 12, 2015, 5:30
to 7 p.m., Sacramento, CA.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments on
the scope of the draft EIS, or requests to
be added to the EIS mailing list, to Mr.
Paul Zedonis, Northern California Area
Office, Bureau of Reclamation, 16349
Shasta Dam Boulevard, Shasta Lake, CA
96019; or by email to sha-slo-klamathLTP@usbr.gov. Environmental
documents for the Long-Term Plan EIS
will be available for review and
download at https://www.usbr.gov/mp/

The public scoping meetings will be
held at the following locations:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In August and September 2002, an
estimated 170,000 fall-run Chinook
salmon returned to the Klamath River,
and a significant number of adult
Chinook salmon (∼33,000) and other
salmonids died prematurely in the
lower Klamath River. This included an
estimated 344 coho salmon listed as
threatened under the Endangered
Species Act. Federal, tribal, and state
biologists studying the die-off
concluded that: (1) Pathogens
Ichthyophthirius multifiliis (Ich) and
Flavobacterium columnare (Columnaris)
were the primary causes of death to fish;
and (2) warm water temperatures, low
water velocities and volumes, high fish
density, and long fish residence times

likely contributed to the disease
outbreaks and subsequent mortalities.
Flows in the lower Klamath averaged
about 2,000 cubic feet per second (cfs)
during September 2002.
In 2003, 2004, 2012, and 2013
predictions of large runs of fall-run
Chinook salmon to the Klamath River
Basin and drier than normal hydrologic
conditions prompted the Bureau of
Reclamation (Reclamation) to arrange
for late-summer flow augmentation to
improve environmental conditions in
the lower Klamath River to reduce the
probability of a disease outbreak. The
State Water Resources Board has
advised Reclamation that, as the
operator of Trinity Dam, Reclamation
may bypass and/or release water for
various purposes, including releases
made to improve instream conditions
for the benefit of aquatic resources,
without State Board approval. In these
years, 38 thousand acre-feet (TAF) of
supplemental water was released from
Trinity Reservoir in 2003, 36 TAF in
2004, 39 TAF in 2012, and 17.5 TAF in
2013. In 2013 a legal challenge occurred
over implementing the flow
augmentation action, which
subsequently resulted in a delay. Also,
accretions were greater than forecasted
and ultimately lead to the smaller
volume used in that year. General
observations regarding the effectiveness
of the sustained higher releases are that
no significant disease or adult
mortalities occurred suggesting flow
augmentation was effective at meeting
its intended purpose. National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
reviews (Environmental Assessments)
were conducted in each of these years
concluding in Findings of No
Significant Impacts.
The initial decision in 2014 was to
not provide augmentation flows on a
preventive basis due to the small run
size and lack of any disease outbreak.
However, during the first half of August,
hydrologic conditions and observed fish
health worsened. It was reported the
adult return began much earlier than
expected, and thousands of fish were
stalled at the mouth of Blue Creek on
the lower Klamath River mainstem.
After consulting with fish agencies,
Reclamation determined that an
emergency release from Trinity
Reservoir was necessary to avert a
potentially significant fish loss. In
response to a continued and
unprecedented concern that a fish dieoff was imminent, Reclamation
