The program of routine maintenance includes, but is not limited to, all mowing, vegetation pruning, fallen or hazardous tree removal, road grading, minor earthwork repairs and the placement of rock revetment on Sacramento area flood control levees, as well as any other similar activities that are needed to meet standards established by applicable law. The north and south levees of the American River, Arcade Creek, Robla Creek and Dry Creek and the east levees of Steelhead Creek and the Sacramento River are part of the federal Sacramento River Flood Control Project and have been turned over to the American River Flood Control District for operation and maintenance. These levees protect residents, property, infrastructure, government facilities and habitat in the Sacramento metropolitan area. In addition, the District undertakes the operation and maintenance of other levees in the Sacramento metropolitan area under contract with the Sacramento Area Flood Control Agency or other public agencies in the region.
