Feds step in with $260 million for California water projects

The biggest allocation is $110 million to build new pumps and fish screens at the Red Bluff Diversion Dam on the Sacramento River. The facility diverts water into the Tehama-Colusa Canal to irrigate 150,000 acres of farmland, mostly on the west side of the Sacramento Valley.

The archaic facility is the largest unscreened water diversion left on the Sacramento River and is blamed for killing endangered salmon and sturgeon. Improvements were authorized in the 1992 Central Valley Project Improvement Act but never funded.

Stream Access Bill Passes Montana Legislature, Moves to Governor

It will also clarify how and where private landowners can attach fences to bridges and it sets up funding to pay for any modifications existing fences would need to allow access. Under the bill, Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks will be working with landowners to make their fences access-friendly.
