RE: Application to Remove Two Berms Near Proposed Sacramento-Bidwell State Park
Mr. Yego,
On March 23, 2010,the County learned that the California Department of Parks and Recreation
(CDPR) sent an application to the Central Valley Flood Protection Board (CVFPB) for the project
as described below:
Description: To restore a 43-acre parcel (Singh Unit) by removing two existing berms and
nonnative vegetation and planting riparian vegetation and native grasses within the designated
floodway (River Mile 194) of the left (east bank of the Sacramento River
Location: The project is located west of Chico and south of Sacramento Avenue. Section 2,
T21N, RI YY, MDB&M(Sacramento River, Butte County)
Letters from CVFPB sent to adjacent property owners, dated March 9, 2010, gave them 20 days to
protest the project or the matter may be approved on the CVFPB's consent agenda.
The area in question pertains to the proposed Sacramento-Bidwell State Park. Butte County has
previously sent a letter of opposition to this project and sent a delegation to Sacramento to oppose
it. The County also sent a lengthy response to the State's Environmental Impact Report on the
project. Nonetheless, neither CDPR nor CVFPB notified the County on the application by CDPR.
The deadline to comment of the application was March 29, 2010. However, the County found out
about the application on March 23, 2010. The County's engineer needs time to study the
application to analyze any environmental impacts and/or the flooding impacts to Butte County.
Therefore,the Butte County Board of Supervisors requests an extension of the comment period of
no less than 30 days.
Sincerely,
IV
