Trinity Lake Report
7/7/20 - The lake is at 2,321' down 49' from the spillway, 71% full, 84% of average.
They are dumping Trinity Lake to preserve cold water in Shasta Lake. This is more fish nonsense in the Sacramento River.
Later in the seaon, the water from Trinity heats up in Lewiston Lake before entering the tunnel to Whiskeytown, and they
say it's too warm for the fish in the Sacramento.
Here's a question: why dump Trinity Lake for Sacramento fish? what did the fish do before all the dams when there was
NO cold water in the summer??? This is more bureaucratic nonsense.
Here is a graph
of historic lake elevation (updated 6/10) showing spillway and Trinity Center ramp elevations.
(The gaps in the line on the graph are due to missing or bad data in the state's database.)
All Debris Burning Suspended !!
Effective July 6, all debris burning has been suspended by CalFire. This means that ALL burn permits for debris
pile burning as well as burn barrels are suspended. NO BURNING !
See the CalFire press release.
Campfires Suspended !!
The Forest Service has suspended campfires outside developed campgrounds. That means you can
no longer set up camp on federal property with a campfire unless you are in a designated campground
or day-use facility with a pre-existing campfire ring. You may camp with certain camp stoves.
The one exception to this order in our area is within 10' of Trinity Lake. You many have a small
campfire within 10' of the lake as long as you are at least 50' away from any vegetation. All other
campfire rules apply to these lakeside campfires including the requirement for a California Campfire
Permit.
See details in the USFS press release. And be sure to read TCVFD's
"All About Fire Permits" white
paper to get all the current information about campfires and debris piles.
Fire Season Is Here !!
We had a nice bit of precipitation last week, but we are in a drought. The coming fire season will be a risky one. A lot of folks are taking
advantage of the sunny days to burn yard debris. PLEASE BE CAREFUL!!
You MUST have an Air Quality Management District burn permit to burn yard debris, and you MUST ensure
your burn day is an authorized burn day by calling the AQMD at 1-866-BURN-DAY and confirm Zone 3 is
"ok for burning" that day. Standard Permits require burning to be finished by noon.
Check out all the fire information on our Fire Page, and download
TCVFD's "All About Fire Permits" white
paper to get all the current information about campfires and debris piles.
Be safe out there!
