Department of the Interior, Euxeau-.-of::Re:clamat..on;_:.. , in a communication dated April 25, 1963, submitted tabulation showing the flows of water at Shasta and Keswick. The letter continues: "It will be rioted from the foregoing tabulation that the actual releases from Keswick during the 1962-63 season did not exceed 46, 000 c. f. s. � However, as you are aware, releases of 79, 000 second ft. are prescribed by the flood control regulations when needed to evacuate the flood space at Shasta. Releases approaching this amount were made in 1958 and undoubtedly will be required in the future in order for Shasta and Kes- wick to perform their flood control functions. 299 Our observations lead us to believe that in the Redding area there have been some encroachments into the channel which is required to carry a Keswick release of 79,.000 second feet. We fear that additional en- croachments may occur unless ..the people of the Redding area are fully cognizant of the prospective flood control operation of Shasta. " It was the recommendation of the City Manager this communication be referred to the Planning Commission and the Director of Public Works. Councilman Kriegsman suggested the City post all dwellings, buildings and recreational area that would be flooded at the79, 000 second feet to preclude any possibility that we be censured that City did not exercise proper caution; that the Department of Public Works determine the area ,at the earliest, possible convenience and people be notified by letter, or the area posted that they are within the 79, 000 second feet area. He stated the Planning Commission had maps that showed where the flood areas would be, and this should_ not be difficult to determine. , P City Attorney Murphy stated he had spoken to Mr. Rummelsburg about this and should there be any areas within the City that we did not know, perhaps we could participate with the County on a survey they were going to have; he stated it would relieve us of moral responsibility if we made subsequent property owners aware the area was subject to flooding. That the area could be posted or made a matter of record in the County Recorder's office. Councilman Chatfield stated in .1958 79, 000 second feet releases were main- tained for some twenty-four hours or more; the Bureau of Reclamation flew the river and -photos were taken and are available. That it would be possible to obtain information on an area subject to flooding without any great expense on anyone's part. Director of Public Works Arness suggested the news media be made aware of the photographs that Mr. Chatfield had spoken of in order to make the public aware. Councilman Chatfield advised that he knew of .no residence within the City limits that was within the flood.ar.ea.
