Sutter County Long-Term Culvert Maintenance Program

The Sutter County Long-Term Culvert Maintenance Program, managed by Reclamation District 1500 in California, is a forecasted initiative designed to preserve the existing function, condition, and hydraulic capacity of drainage infrastructure within Sutter County. The project scope involves the routine inspection, maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, and in-kind replacement of up to 40 existing culverts and associated drainage facilities on an as-needed basis. This program ensures the continued operational integrity of the county's water management systems through proactive upkeep and targeted repairs. A Notice of Exemption was filed on September 24, 2026, asserting categorical exemptions under specific regulatory sections for the routine nature of these maintenance activities. The project is centered in California, with administrative oversight provided by General Manager Roger Cornwell. The program includes detailed project location maps and defined boundary review areas to guide the inspection and replacement efforts across the designated drainage network.
