Feather River Regional Agricultural Water Management 2020 Update Feather River Regional Volume I. Agricultural Water Regional Plan Management Plan Components Byron Alan Clark, P.E. 1976-2021 Biggs-West Gridley Water District, Butte Water District, Richvale Irrigation District, Sutter Extension Water District and Western Canal Water District would like to dedicate the 2020 update of the Feather River Regional Agricultural Water Management Plan (FRRAWMP) to Byron Clark. During his too-short lifetime, Byron contributed greatly to water management in not only the Feather River region, but the entire Sacramento Valley and the state of California as a whole. The Sacramento Valley was always a special place to him. Byron’s connection to the valley began in his youth as he grew up in the small farming town of Willows, California, and it continued throughout his life, both professionally and personally. Byron became an Eagle Scout, was Valedictorian of the Willow’s High School class of 1994, and graduated from UC Davis with a degree in Biosystems Engineering. As an engineer, Byron maintained an incredibly high standard of work. He was able to focus in on technical details while also maintaining a clear vision of the big picture and why each project or task was important. He was always dedicated to thoughtful data analysis and dissemination, helping clients and the community in making sound resource management decisions. He had an unmistakable passion for his work, and his leadership in agricultural water management will be missed. As a person, Byron was a warm, generous, and thoughtful man. He was appreciative and thankful of others, noting their unique skills and contributions. The people he worked with in the Sacramento Valley trusted not only the quality of his work, but also that he truly valued them and held their best interests in mind. He was considerate and respectful at all times and did everything with a deep kindness and consideration of others. The FRRAWMP was originally conceived, designed, and developed by a team at Davids Engineering led by Byron and his unique drive and vision. He was also involved in preparing a 2015 update to the Plan, and most recently, in this 2020 update as well. The FRRAWMP has been a guide for water management in the Feather River region since its inception and will continue to be so into the future. It is one of many monuments that Byron leaves behind marking his impact not only on wise water management and responsible stewardship of our natural resources, but on the resource managers who had the opportunity to work with him and know him during his lifetime. Byron’s contributions to water management in the Sacramento Valley will long outlive him, but his calm and kind presence is already greatly missed. 2020 AWMP Update i April 2021 Feather River Regional Volume I. Agricultural Water Regional Plan Management Plan Components [This Page Intentionally Blank] 2020 AWMP Update ii April 2021 Feather River Regional Volume I. Agricultural Water Regional Plan Management Plan Components Preface This Feather River Regional Agricultural Water Management Plan (FRRAWMP) was originally prepared by the Northern California Water Association (NCWA) and participating Feather River agricultural water users under a Proposition 204 grant awarded by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) in 2014. The plan was prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Water Conservation Act of 2009 (SBx7-7), which modifies Division 6 of the California Water Code (CWC or Code), adding Part 2.55 (commencing with §10608) and replacing Part 2.8 (commencing with §10800). SBx7-7 requires all qualifying agricultural water suppliers to prepare and adopt an AWMP as set forth in the CWC and the California Code of Regulations (CCR) by December 31, 2012. Plans must be updated by December 31, 2015 and then every 5 years thereafter (§10820 (a)). Additionally, the CWC requires suppliers to implement certain efficient water management practices (EWMPs). DWR released a Guidebook to Assist Agricultural Water Suppliers to Prepare a 2012 Agricultural Water Management Plan (Guidebook) on October 24, 2012 (DWR 2012a). The Guidebook was relied upon in the preparation of the FRRAWMP to ensure that applicable sections of the CWC were addressed. Some differences in the specific formatting of the FRRAWMP from the template provided in the Guidebook exist due to this plan being a regional AWMP, as compared to an individual supplier AWMP, and in the interest of conciseness and readability. Development of the plan included coordination among the following Feather River water suppliers and users: Joint Water Districts o Biggs – West Gridley Water District (BWGWD) o Butte Water District (BWD) o Richvale Irrigation District (RID) o Sutter Extension Water District (SEWD) Western Canal Water District (WCWD) Lower Feather Water Users o Feather Water District (FWD) o Garden Highway Mutual Water Company (GHMWC) o Plumas Mutual Water Company (PMWC) o Tudor Mutual Water Company (TMWC) o Sutter Bypass-Butte Slough Water Users Association (SBBSWUA) Additionally, development of the FRRAWMP included consultation with representatives of the Butte County Department of Water and Resource Conservation, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW1), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), and DWR. These consultations do not necessarily denote endorsement of the plan. 1 Formerly the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG). 2020 AWMP Update iii April 2021 Feather River Regional Volume I. Agricultural Water Regional Plan Management Plan Components The FRRAWMP is structured in two volumes. Volume I includes regional AWMP components, and Volume II includes individual supplier AWMP components. Per the requirements of the CWC, the individual supplier AWMP components in Volume II were updated in 2015. For this next iteration of the AWMP, both Volumes I and II have been updated. Volume I was updated to reflect current water management and hydrologic conditions within the Feather River region as of 2020. Volume II has been updated for the following districts: Western Canal Water District, Richvale Irrigation District, Biggs – West Gridley Water District, and Butte Water District. Butte Water District serves less than 25,000 acres and voluntarily elected to update their Plan; therefore, they are exempt from the requirements set forth by DWR. Plans have been updated in accordance with the requirements of the Water Conservation Act of 2009 (SBx7-7), the recently passed 2018 Water Management Planning Legislation (Assembly Bill 1668, or AB 1668), and Agricultural Water Measurement Requirements under Title 23 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR), §597 et seq., 2011 referencing the 2020 AWMP Guidebook and relevant sections of the CCR. AB 1668 modifies Water Code §531.10 et seq. and Water Code §10820 et seq. to address water conservation issues more adequately and to improve the management and evaluation of agricultural water suppliers’ systems. Specifically, AB 1668 requires updated AWMPs to: (1) Include an annual water budget (CWC §10826(c)), (2) Identify water management objectives (CWC §10826(f)), (3) Quantify water use efficiency (CWC §10826(h)), and (4) Revise the supplier’s Drought Plan to describe both drought resilience planning and drought response planning (CWC §10826.2). AB 1668 also modifies AWMP submittal and compliance requirements, requiring the updated AWMP to be submitted to DWR on or before April 1, 2021 (and no later than 30 days after adoption), and thereafter on or before April 1 in the years ending in six and one. Sections in the second volume of the regional AWMP for agricultural water suppliers serving over 10,000 acres include a cross-reference identifying the location(s) in the AWMP within which each of the applicable requirements of SBx7-7, AB 1668 and the corresponding sections of the CWC or CCR are addressed. This cross-reference is intended to support efficient review of the AWMP to verify compliance with the CWC. This document represents the second AWMP for the Feather River region and is an update of the first regional AWMP prepared to satisfy the requirements of SBx7-7. It is anticipated that this AWMP will be updated every five years, as required by the CWC. The next update will occur in 2025 and is expected to include updated descriptions of hydrology and water management within the region, additional detail describing regional water management objectives and opportunities, and updated descriptions of projects with the potential to further enhance water management capabilities for individual suppliers and for the region collectively. 2020 AWMP Update iv April 2021 Feather River Regional Volume I.

  • Little Chico Creek Watershed Existing Conditions Report Vegetation, Fish & Wildlife, Water Quality, Land Use
    Little Chico Creek Watershed Existing Conditions Report Vegetation, Fish & Wildlife, Water Quality, Land Use Prepared by Faculty, Staff, and Students California State University, Chico December 2002 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This document represents a partial Existing Conditions Report (ECR) for the portion of Little Chico Creek watershed that is located in Butte County. The ECR contains a landscape overview of the watershed, information on the history of the Little Chico Creek Watershed Group, stream and fish surveys, water quality, land use, and a summary of significant findings. Activities to engage stakeholders in watershed management efforts are summarized. This project was funded by Proposition 204, The Safe, Clean, Reliable Water Supply Act. Proposition 204 was a State bond measure that the voters approved in 1999. This report is only a partial ECR because there are several elements typically contained in an ECR that are not contained in this document. These elements include additional chapters and discussion of cultural history, laws and regulatory inventory, recreation inventory, fire history and fire management inventory, and environmental education. These additional chapters should be added to this ECR as resources become available. i Acknowledgements We are grateful to all those who helped with this project over the last four years. Especially Vickie Newlin our Butte County Project Manager who helped usher this project through the County and State mazes from inception to completion. Thanks go to Dennis Heiman, Richard Price, Kristin Cooper-Carter, Jeff Wright, Norma Myers, Bob Jackson and Ken Derucher for invaluable help during the course of this project. Thanks to Mike Reid our State Water Resources Control Board Contract Manager, who was supportive and readily available.

  • Sacramento River National Wildlife Refuge Final Comprehensive Conservation Plan June 2005 U.S
    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Sacramento River National Wildlife Refuge Final Comprehensive Conservation Plan June 2005 U.S. Fish &Wildlife Service Sacramento River National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan Vision Statement “The Sacramento River National Wildlife Refuge will create a linked network of up to 18,000 acres of floodplain forests, wetlands, grasslands, and aquatic habitats stretching over 100 miles from Red Bluff to Colusa. These refuge lands will fulfill the needs of fish, wildlife, and plants that are native to the Sacramento River ecosystem. Through innovative revegetation, the Refuge will serve as an anchor for biodiversity and a model for riparian habitat restoration throughout the Central Valley. We will forge habitat, conservation, and management links with other public and private conservation land managers. The Sacramento River National Wildlife Refuge is committed to the preservation, conservation, and enhancement of a quality river environment for the American people along the Sacramento River. In this pursuit, we will work with partners to provide a wide range of environmental education programs and promote high quality wildlife-dependent recreational opportunities to build a refuge support base and attract new visitors. Compatible wildlife-dependent recreational opportunities for hunting, fishing, wildlife observation and photography, environmental education and interpretation will be provided on the Refuge. Just as the floodplain along the Sacramento River has been important to agriculture, it is also an important natural corridor for migratory birds, anadromous fish, and threatened and endangered species. Encouraging an understanding and appreciation for the Sacramento River will be a focus of the Sacramento River National Wildlife Refuge for generations to come.” U.S.
