Thursday, March 25, 2010 – Daily News – 7A CREEK Continued from page 1A Pospishil will travel to Manton frequently and have an on site office once construction gets under way. Project and funding The project will restore about 48 miles of fish habitat in Battle Creek and its tributaries while minimizing the loss of hydroelectric power. There are a number of hydropow- er dams and powerhouses along the creek that support Pacific Gas and Electric’s Hydroelectric Project. These dams impede fish passage and must be removed or modified. Under the restoration project, five dams will be removed and fish screens or ladders will be placed or modified at the remaining dams. The project is split into two phas- es. Phase 1A involves only the north fork of Battle Creek and four dams. The Wildcat Dam will be removed. Screens and ladders will be installed at the Eagle Canyon Dam and the North Battle Creek Feeder Dam. Modifications will be made at Asbury Dam to increase stream flow. In Phase 1B, a tailrace connector will be built from the Inskip Power- house to the Coleman Canal, divert- ing fish from the south fork of the creek and into the canal. The Cole- man Dam will be removed.

The second show — 6:30 tonight at the Tehama District Fairground — will feature groups from northern Tehama County. The theme for the year is serving through teamwork, which refers to the team created between schools, families and the community. “(The show) really is an example of community collaboration,” Stro- man said. At Tuesday’s event, a hot dog dinner was made possible through donations from Raley’s and the Tehama County CattleWomen, Stro- man said. Thursday’s show will see more help from community partners with St. Elizabeth Community Hospital, Tehama County CattleWomen, Tehama County Farm Bureau and five-a-day power play participating in the evening, Stroman said.

Clearing of these areas was performed this month and work will begin as soon as possible. Funding comes from several sources over a period of time. In 1999, the initial funding of $28 mil- lion was received from Calfed fed- eral funds. An additional $49.25 million was received from various state funds in July 2008 and $26 million was received from the American Reinvestment and Recov- ery Act in April 2009. Phase 2 involves the dams on the south fork of the creek. Most of these dams will be removed. Fund- ing and timeline for this phase have not yet been determined. Benefiting fishes and energy production Tricia Parker, a Fish and Wildlife biologist, said the project would greatly improve fish habitat. Adult fish need water to get upstream so they can spawn and juvenile fish need it to swim downstream. Parker has known for most of her career that the dams impeded fish migration, she said. She has been on board since the start of the project and is glad to see that something is being done. Removal of the dams should not affect the energy production to the area or other areas that rely on the supply, PG&E representative Janet Walther said. The project has been thought out so that fishes will bene- fit while energy production is not compromised. Once completed, the County. The company told supervisors they should focus on building the Tehama County brand, attracting more tourists and helping local busi- nesses. But most of the list is reserved for improved infrastructure. Projects the county wants to work on in the next five years includes the construction of a through roadway con- necting Diamond Avenue back to Main Street at its project will be a win-win for both fishes and the area of hydroelectric power production. Working together The Bureau of Reclamation, National Marine Fisheries Service, US Fish and Wildlife Service, Cali- fornia Department of Fish and Game and PG&E have a memoran- dum of understanding as partners participating in the project. That many number of entities working together is rare. The level of cooperation between groups could serve as a model for other pro- jects throughout the nation, said Ellen Glover reclamation public affairs specialist. The project has been very care- fully considered and developed over a long period of time. Reclamation project manager Mary Marshall said the effort to make this happen has gone on for several years. The memorandum between the groups was signed in 1999, the same year the initially funding was received. “It’s a huge effort and it takes everyone involved to make it work,” Marshall said. “It’s been several years but it’s working.” The partners, along with a num- ber of private companies and non- profits, make up the Greater Battle Creek Watershed Working Group. ——— Tang Lor can be reached at 527- 2153, Ext. 110 or by e-mail at tlor@redbluffdailynews.com. southeast end. Funding for a Flores Avenue access route, which would con- nect Interstate 5 and High- way 99W, also makes an appearance. Long-term plans include work on expand- ing sewer systems on Antelope Boulevard, where Red Bluff city lim- its end and the unincorpo- rated county begins. Expanded sewer sys- tems could reach the Tehama District Fair- program. “I like it,” Varner said . “The stu- dents and leaders get to interact with other schools and get ideas. It’s a good night out for the kids, but it’s still education-based.” Ralph Keeley, a representative of Rep. Wally Herger, R-Chico, was on hand to check out what the students have been doing. “It’s good to see so many people here and the family involvement,” Keeley said. “The congressman always stresses to young people to get as much education as they can so it’s great to see after school pro- grams that are enriching the kids. It’s good to see that they’re incorpo- rating the academics into the physi- cal activity, which makes it that much better.” While Kirkwood ran a booth with math Jeopardy, Vina’s booth also used game shows. Olive View’s booth featured a speed spelling game in which stu- dents spelled using a pile of bean bags on the floor that were tossed into a bin. Rancho Tehama was hooping it up with Hula Hoop game that even drew some parents.

Maywood had a table called Wel- come to the Future SERRF Junior High Style, which Stroman said was meant to help smooth transitions for student entering junior high. “It’s focusing on thinking about the future and preparing themselves for it,” Stroman said. “That includes graduating and going to college.

It would become the first state to legalize recreational marijuana use if the proposition is approved. Marijuana use is legal for med- icinal purposes in California and 14 other states, but the drug is illegal under federal law. Secretary of State Debra Bowen certified that the petitions seeking to place the ques- tion on the ballot had more than 433,971 valid voter signatures, the minimum num- ber needed to qualify. If approved, the initiative would allow those 21 years and older to possess up to one ounce of marijuana, enough to roll sev- eral marijuana cigarettes.
