Sacramento River Salmonid Spawning and Rearing Habitat Restoration: The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) intends to issue a grant agreement to Western Shasta Resource Conservation District under the authority of Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) 15.512, Public Law 102-575, Central Valley Project Improvement Act, Title XXXIV, Section 3406 (b)(1) and Section 3407(e). Estimated total amount of agreement is $5,110,340.26 with Reclamation providing $680,000.00 for Fiscal Year 2014.
