minimum lake level
and allow operations
to begin by the
projected date. The
minimum lake level
is in place to
protect the habitat
of endangered Lost
River and shortnose
suckers. At this
time, the Natural
Resource
Conservation Service
estimates that
seasonal inflow will
be about 78 percent
of average.
"Reclamation agreed
to adjust the
anticipated start
date because of the
current favorable
conditions," said
Ms. Susan Fry, Area
Manager for
Reclamation's
Klamath Project.
"It is still vital
for everyone who
uses Reclamation
water to conserve in
every way possible.
This will help with
our goal of
supplying the water
our irrigators need
without
interruption."
Reclamation will
continue to
coordinate with the
State of Oregon, the
FWS, and other
Federal, State, and
local organizations
to examine all
possible ways to
fulfill water supply
obligations that
include the
protection of fish
and wildlife and
associated habitats.
