REDDING, Calif. -- A shooting area along Iron Mountain Road in the Keswick Area west of Redding will be temporarily closed Wednesday, Nov. 30, while crews from the Bureau of Land Management are working in the area.
The crews will be collecting soil samples needed for the BLM’s development of a storm water management plan required by the Central Valley Water Quality Control Board. The plan is required to prevent water containing high levels of lead from running off site into surface waters.
