Pallet, allot, which provides $60 million in bonds for constructic of recreational facilities at reservoirs and cen of the State Water Project, will give the biggest single boost to. water-oriented recreation in the history of California." This was the joint statement issued today by William. Penn Mott, Jr., Director of the California Department of Parks and Recreation; Ray G. Arnett, Director of the Department of Fish and Game; and Ray Nesbit, Executive Director of the Wildlife Conservation Board. The statement followed last week's announcement by Governor Reagan that he had signed SB 1268 placing the bond issue on the November ballot, The bond issue provides $54 million to the Department of Parks and Recreation to design’and construct: recreational . facilities at waters of the State Water Project, and $6 million for the Department of Fish and Game and the Wildlife Con' servation Board for fish and wildlife enhancement and fishing access sites, ‘Mott pointed out that recreation at reservoirs is very popular in the State and cited Folsom Lake as the most heavily used recreation area in the State Park System. “= is imperative that we find a means of financing récreational facilities at new State Water Project lakes when they begin impounding water, because our experience tells us that people will demand to use them as soon as they have water in them, Also, we must provide additional recreational facili.~ ties at existing waters." Arnett stated that the State Water Project has the potential of offering millions of days of fishing for California's anglers, but realizing this potential depends upon supplementing natural: populations of fish and providing angler access tofishing waters, ““The State Water Project also offers the opportunity for enhancement projects for many wildlife species." ; Nesbit commented that the 58,000 acres of reservoir surface ‘and nearly 500 miles of open canals in the State Water Project, the need for fishery development and annual fish stocking is tremendous. Mott explained that the State Park System hosted 45 million visitors last year and that the bond act would provide facilities “ for 15 million additional visitors. "This would increase our park capacity by one third and enable us to provide additional outdoor recreational opportunities for our rapidly growing population," Mott reported that bond funds. would provide. additional opportunities for all kinds of water-oriented recreation including all types of boating, water: skiing, fishing, camping, picnicking, riding, hiking, and. sightseeing, and would provide equestrian centers, staging areas, corrals, fish cleaning facilities, sandy swimming beaches, play areas and scenic overlooks, ae. Nesbit said the $6 million: in bond money for fish and wildlife enhancement and public access -to fishing waters would provide both trout and warmwater fisheries and would make possible the enlarging of fish hatcheries to provide millions of fish for stocking these waters. "Other fishery projects would include the opening of, many fishing areas along the California Aqueduct, which runs from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta to Lake Perris in Riverside County. Fishing access trails would be built along reservoirs and planting to provide food and cover for many wildlife species would be developed along the less accessible reaches of the canals and reservoir lands." “ Nesbit .commented that projects are being planned whereby water releases would be made from State Water Projects into natural streams to enhance the fisheries. Mott said the Department of Parks and Recreation's allocation of $54 million in bond funds is earmarked for the following projects: Bethany Reservoir, Alameda County, $800,000; Del Valle Reservoir, Alameda County, $3,200,000; Lake Oroville, Butte County, $3,015,000; Upper Feather River Basin, Lake Davis, Plumas County, $1,000,000; San Luis Reservoir, Merced County, $3,370,000; Ingram Creek Stanislaus County, $1,260,000; Castaic Reservoir, Los Angeles County, $3,000,000; Peace Valley, Los Angeles County, $1,800,000; Perris Reservoir, Riverside County, $17,280,000; Pyramid Reservoir, Los Angeles County; $3,500,000; Silverwood Lake, San.
