After considerable public input, the CFVPB adopted The Plan on June 28, 2012. One aspect of The Plan was the provision of Regional Flood Management Planning (RFMP). RFMP was the CVFPB's directive that planning for flood protection projects should be from the local stakeholders and not from the State. The Plan identified nine regions in the Sacramento/San Joaquin valleys. Butte County is located in a unique location in that it is bisected by three of the regions: Feather River, Mid-Sacramento, and Upper Sacramento. The regional planning boundaries are not set in stone, and if good cause can be shown, the boundaries can be expanded and/or regions can be merged. In reviewing the boundaries for the three regions, staff has realized that from a flood basin planning perspective, it may be better for Butte County and the region to merge the Upper Sacramento and Mid-Sacramento regions as the two regions are interconnected both by the Sacramento River and the Butte Basin which acts as an off system storage area for the Sacramento River.
