Department of Water Resources: Draft EIR for Sacramento River Flood Control Project and Middle Creek Project environmental permitting
NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY
of the Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Environmental Permitting for Operations and Maintenance Project
NOTICE is hereby given that a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) prepared by the Department of Water Resources (DWR) pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) is available for public review. The proposed project would support a streamlined approach to permitting of mandated operation and maintenance (O&M) activities associated with maintaining the proper function of the Sacramento River Flood Control Project and Middle Creek Project flood protection facilities, including but not limited to; levee maintenance, channel maintenance, flood control structure maintenance and repair, and data collection. The proposed project would allow the continuation of these maintenance activities within the regulatory limitations imposed by required permits. The SRFCP levees, channels, and structures are located along the Sacramento River and its tributaries between Red Bluff and the area just south of Rio Vista. The Middle Creek Project is located near Clear Lake in Lake County.
The review period for the DEIR begins January 18, 2017 and ends March 3, 2017 at 5:00 p.m.
