We are proposing road realignment of Forest Road 26N67 and road decommissioning to reduce sedimentation of streams that resulted from changed hydrological conditions following the Storrie, Rich, and Chips Fires.

Location

Near the south end of the Butt Valley Reservoir, approximately 10 to 12 air miles west southwest of Greenville, California, and 14 to 16 air miles north north of Quincy, California.
