Background/Analysis The Livingston Stone National Fish Hatchery (LSNFH) is located at the base of Shasta Dam and operated by the United States Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Report to Redding City Council January 13,2026 Re: 4.11(c)--Authorize GrantApplication -DWR Riverine Stewardship Program Page 2 In recent years, especially during 2022, the need for permanent chillers and water treatment to provide adequate water temperature and quality for winter-run Chinook Salmon hatchery production has amplified. For purposes of this grant application, only funding for water treatment is being requested. The LSNFH Permanent Water Chillers have been funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) through the BOR The State of California has grant �unding available through its Riverine Stewardship Program to fund the water treatment plant but needs a local government partner(i.e. City of Redding)to disburse the funds. The LSNFH Permanent Water Chillers and Water Treatment Project (Project) will provide a modern, permanent chiller plant and water treatment plant, which is required to keep water temperatures and quality suitable for Endangered Species Act listed Sacramento River winter- run Chinook Salmon at LSNFH. The project will design, permit, and install two 500-ton chillers with cooling towers for chilling and Ultra Violet Sterilization with medium pressure and automatic backwashing strainer filters for water treatment, and all associated valving, piping and controls,plus site power redundancies. The Project will be designed, permitted, and constructed as one project by the BOR with two different funding sources. A future agreement between the City and BOR will be developed to define various project elements, coordination, and cost sharing and will be brought before Council for approval before the DWR grant application is submitted. The Project's goals are to enhance and improve hatchery production of winter-run Chinook Salmon which in-t�urn will increase water supply reliability for the City's Water Utility. The resol�ution has been approved to form by the City Attorney. EnviNonmental Review This action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), and no further action is required. Should the City receive grant funding project specific environmental analysis will be conducted in compliance with CEQA and National Environmental Protection Agency.
