Feather River Water Plan Update
The initial Integrated Regional Water Management (IRWM) plan for the Upper Feather River watershed was adopted in 2005. The plan was prepared in accordance with IRWM guidelines established under Proposition 50, the Water Security, Clean Drinking Water, Coastal and Beach Protection Act of 2002.
In 2006, the voters approved Proposition 84, continuing funding for the IRWM program and establishing new standards for IRWM plans. The California Department of Water Resources is in the process of developing new IRWM guidelines to implement the Prop. 84 requirements.
The Feather River IRWM plan will be updated to conform with the new guidelines, as well as to reflect developments in the region over the past four years. Please join the Upper Feather River e-mail list to receive notice of public meetings and other information on the update process.
