Mid and Upper Sacramento River Regional Conservation Investment Strategy

Mid and Upper Sacramento River Regional Conservation Investment Strategy

Note: RCIS Reclamation District 108, on behalf of a steering committee including representatives from Colusa County, Sutter County, DWR, Resources Agency, Sutter Bypass Water Users Assoc., Caltrans, and other stakeholders, is preparing a Regional Conservation Investment Strategy for parts of Colusa County and Sutter County. The Mid-Upper Sacramento River RCIS is an outgrowth, in part, of the Mid and Upper Sacramento River Regional Flood Management Plan. As the lead agency for Mid-Upper Sacramento River RFMP, Reclamation District 108 initiated development of the Mid-Upper Sacramento River RCIS to aid in the implementation of needed flood risk reduction measures, and to provide incentives for landowners to propose conservation actions on their properties that would benefit species in need of mitigation offsets from flood management projects. If the RCIS is approved by CDFW in 2018, the RCIS could be used by anyone to develop mitigation credit agreements with the Department. A mitigation credit agreement allows a landowner to use or sell mitigation credits for a variety of resources such as state-listed species.
