Sutter Basin Feasibility Study

Sutter Basin Feasibility Study

The Feasibility Report includes an integrated EIR / SEIS. The purpose of the Sutter Basin Pilot Feasibility Study (SBPFS) is to investigate and determine the extent of Federal interest in plans that reduce flood risk to the Sutter Basin in Sutter and Butte Counties. This report: (1) assesses the risk of flooding; (2) describes a range of alternatives formulated to reduce flood risk; and (3) identifies a Tentatively Selected Plan (TSP) for implementation. The TSP consists of levee improvements to existing levees of the Sacramento River Flood Control Project extending along approximately 41 miles of the Feather River. The plan would provide higher levels of flood risk management to local communities.
