KLAMATH FALLS, Ore.
- The Bureau of Reclamation has released an Environmental Assessment and Finding of No Significant Impact that will allow the Klamath Irrigation District
to replace the C Canal Flume, located approximately seven miles southeast of the city of Klamath Falls.
The flume is an elevated concrete structure about 4,300 feet long that delivers water to around 22,000 acres of agricultural lands within Reclamation’s
Klamath Project. Recent inspections resulted in a recommendation which requires repair and/or replacement of deteriorated beams, columns and other
configurations. This would consist of replacing the existing above-ground system with a buried, piped conveyance feature located entirely within
Reclamation-owned land. Construction could begin January 2016 and continue through fall 2018.
The EA and FONSI were prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act and are available at
