Reclamation District No. 10 - Pipe Removal

The Reclamation District No. 10 Pipe Removal Project, identified as Minor Alteration No. WA2025119, involves the removal of an existing 24-inch gravity flow drainage pipe (DSID 21303) located along the Unit No. 2 Feather River East Levee at levee mile 10.38 in Yuba County, California. The scope of work includes the removal and disposal of the pipe and its appurtenant structures, followed by backfilling and compaction using suitable levee fill material. To ensure proper restoration, the levee crown will be reconstructed with an aggregate base, and the levee slopes will be seeded with native grasses. All work must strictly adhere to the California Code of Regulations, Title 23, Waters, Division 1 standards. The project is being overseen by the Central Valley Flood Protection Board as the approving agency, with Reclamation District No. 10 serving as the lead agency. The project has received a CEQA Notice of Exemption under Class 1 and Class 4 categorical exemptions, as it is classified as a minor land alteration involving the removal of an existing facility without significant environmental impact or expansion. Key points of contact for the project include Tony Deus, the RD 10 District Engineer, and Bonnie Irving, a Senior Environmental Scientist with the Central Valley Flood Protection Board.
