Final Environmental Assessment For Providing Fish Screening In Redlands Power Canal

Back to Environmental Documents

The Upper Colorado River Endangered Fish Recovery Program is proposing to construct a fish screen in the Redlands Power Canal southwest of the city of Grand Junction, in Mesa County, Colorado. The Redlands Power Canal transports water diverted from the Gunnison River by the Redlands Diversion Dam. the fish screen would return fish that enter the Redlands power Canal to the Gunnison River downstream of the Redlands Diversion Dam. the Recovery Program would provide for construction, operations and maintenance of the fish screen. The Bureau of Reclamation would construct the fish screen on behalf of the Recovery Program, and the Recovery Program would provide funding to the Redlands Water and Power Company (RWPC) for long-term operations and maintenance of the fish screen. RWPC would also assume ownership of the Redlands Fish Ladder and receive funding for the Recovery Program for maintenance of the fish ladder.
