Feather River Water Plan
Upper Feather River
Integrated Regional Water Management Program
The initial Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) plan for the Upper Feather River region was adopted in 2005. This plan is the regional component of a statewide program to enhance and make the best use of California's scarce water resources.
Proposition 50, which was approved by the California voters in 2002, established the IRWM program to provide competitive grants to regional water supply and water quality projects. The Upper Feather River program was awarded one of the first grants in 2007 to carry out a group of projects sponsored by the Feather River Coordinated Resource Management group, Plumas National Forest, Sierra Valley Groundwater Management District, Feather River Land Trust, Quincy Community Services District, and U.C. Davis.
The IRWM plan is required to be updated to meet new requirements for future grant funding, which were approved by California voters as part of Proposition 84 in 2006. The update of the plan is based on the timetable of new state requirements and funding cycles, and will likely take place during the course of 2009.
