Reclamation is proposing construction of a fish barrier in Redfield Canyon, Graham County, Arizona. The project site is located approximately 8.2 miles east of the community of Redington on land administered by the Arizona State Land Department. The action is intended to protect existing and newly reintroduced threatened and endangered fish species that occupy upper portions of the Redfield Canyon drainage.
