NID Mercury CEQA Documents

This Nevada Irrigation District (NID) project will remove sediment and mercury from Combie Reservoir in the Bear River Watershed. Sediment will be removed using a floating dredge, and mercury will be removed using a new technology called the Knelson Concentrator. This project seeks to restore storage capacity and benefit recreational activities. It utilizes NID resources and promotes watershed stewardship. A Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared for the project. You can download the declaration documents below.

The watershed plan will be updated on an ongoing 5-year timeframe, with periodic edits as needed. Projects may be submitted anytime basis for potential inclusion in the plan during the annual fall update.
