Document Description
The project involves three separate flood control elements: (1) forecast-coordinated flood control operations of New Bullards Bar Reservoir on the North Yuba River and Lake Oroville on the Feather River, which would strengthen flood protection for the Yuba-Feather River system by improving flood forecasts and enhancing flood control operations and efficiency; (2) an increase of the outlet capacity of New Bullards Bar Reservoir by adding a new upper-level outlet at New Bullards Bar Dam to increase flood-release capability during major storms; and (3) the construction of a Feather River levee setback by relocating the east Feather River levee for 8.6 miles into two segments between Shanghai Bend and the Bear River and removing most of the existing levee in those segments.
