A federal anti-erosion program on a 43-mile stretch of the Sacramento River has been delayed for at least two months by the discovery in the area of the rare long-horned beetle. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service spokesman Jack Williams said that a Berkeley lab has determined that four bugs collected from the river banks are indeed long-horned beetles, included on both federal and state endangered species lists. He said the agency will be forced to spend at least two months redoing a portion of an environmental impact report on the proposed project, which is intended to prevent erosion on the river between Red Bluff and Chico.
