| Abstract: | The Sacramento River Bank Protection Project (SRBPP) is a continuing construction project, authorized by the Flood Control Act of 1960, to provide protection for the existing levees and flood control facilities of the Sacramento River Flood Control Project (SRFCP). The SRFCP consists of approximately 1,100 miles of levees plus overflow weirs, pumping plants, and bypass channels that reduce flood risk for communities and agricultural lands in the Sacramento Valley and Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. The purpose of the SRBPP is to maintain the integrity of the SRFCP by managing flood risk throughout the system, and is accomplished by identifying erosion sites and implementing repairs on those sites. This Post Authorization Change Report (PACR) is a decision document that confirms the Federal interest in the SRBPP as modified by the Water Resources Development Act of 2007, which added 80,000 linear feet (LF) of bank protection to the original SRBPP Phase II project authorization. Accompanying the PACR is a programmatic Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report that complies with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Approval of this PACR is delegated to the South Pacific Division (SPD) per the Implementation Guidance for Section 3031 of WRDA 2007, June 6, 2008. No additional Congressional project authorization is required to construct the 80,000 LF. Three purposes of this PACR are to: 1) document the history and status of the originally authorized Phase II 405,000 LF of the SRBPP; 2) report on significant changes in the scope of Phase II that are the result of modifications to the project authorized by Congress; and 3) provide a process for programmatic implementation of the additional authorized work and to support future budget requests. |
