Bureau of Reclamation seeking comment on environment statement for boat racing at California reservoir

Drag boat racing at Shasta Lake could soon provide revenue, and entertainment, at East Park Reservoir in Colusa County, California, in cooperation with the federal government’s Bureau of Reclamation (USBR).

The bureau said in a release it is seeking public comment on draft environmental assessment (EA) for a proposal to allow drag boat competition and exhibition at the reservoir for a span of up to five years.

On top of regular boating, water skiing and camping, visitors may see crafts skimming along the water surface if the draft EA advances further. 

Public comment is invited until close of business July 25 by contacting Megan Simon at the Northern California Area Office of the USBR, 16349 Shasta Dam Blvd., Shasta Lake, CA 96019. Comments may be faxed to 530-275-2441 or emailed to msimon@usbr.gov.
