Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Kings River Conservation District propose to restore and protect the ecosystem for fish and wildlife resources in Pine Flat Lake and in and along the Lower Kings River by improving the fishery habitat; increasing the fishery survival rate; increasing riparian, shaded riverine aquatic, and oak woodland habitats; and reestablishing the historic flood plain and native historic plant and wildlife communities. This final EIS/EIR describes the environment near Pine Flat Dam and Reservoir and along the Lower Kings River in the Pine Flat Dam area; evaluates the direct, indirect, and cumulative environmental effects of the recommended plan and three alternative plans; and recommends mitigation measures. Potential adverse effects would either be short term and insignificant, or would be avoided using best management practices. Beneficial effects on fisheries, vegetation, wildlife, and the historic flood plain from the proposed project alternative are also discussed.
