Fish and Game sets Lake Davis hearings- Published 12:00 am PDT Saturday, September 23, 2006
PORTOLA -- The California Department of Fish and Game will conduct public hearings to accept comments about its proposal to use chemicals to eradicate northern pike in Lake Davis.
Two sessions are set for Tuesday in Portola and two more are scheduled for 1 and 6 p.m. Oct. 5 in Room 120-122 of National University, 9320 Tech Center Driver, Sacramento.
To get rid of the non-native pike threatening the state's native fisheries, the Fish and Game Department studied seven options in a comprehensive environmental review. Its choice would draw down the Plumas County reservoir to 15,000 acre-feet and apply liquid rotenone to the reservoir as well as all tributaries, ponds and springs within the watershed.
The deadline for public comment on the environmental impact review is 5 p.m. Oct. 16.
