Reclamation District 1001 Auxiliary Drainage Pump Station Project

Reclamation District 1001 Auxiliary Drainage Pump Station Project

Reclamation District (RD) 1001 proposes to construct a new auxiliary drainage pump station located along the Natomas Cross Canal (NCC) North Levee at the south end of the RD 1001 Lateral 4 Channel, approximately one mile northeast of the existing RD 1001 Main Drainage Pump Plant within Sutter County, California. The Auxiliary Drainage Pump Station Project (Project) will utilize grant funds through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) in coordination with the State of California Office of Emergency Services (CalOES). RD 1001 currently has two electrically powered pump stations which discharge drainage flows from the agricultural areas within RD 1001 into the NCC. During prior flood events, the risk of damages caused by flooding was increased due to the unreliability of the electrical power to these pump stations. Furthermore, the existing pump stations are not able to be upgraded with backup generators due to the age of the existing facilities. To minimize the flood risk due to loss of power at the existing pump stations, the proposed Project will involve the construction of a fuel-powered pump station that would remain operational during the loss of electrical power, maintaining some pumping capacity of drainage flows. (See NOC for full details.)
