Project Description
Dry Creek Detention Basin Rehabilitation – This project consists of minor grading improvements to the existing basin and canals, construction of a stilling basin at the pump intakes, replacement of existing

pumping equipment that has reached its service life, establishing an outlet canal to prevent erosion near the existing levee and repair erosion at the toe of the levee.
IV.
Project Rationale/Issues Statement
A large portion of the Wheatland area is designated to be in FEMA Flood Zone A. The project is intended to increase flood protection for the City of Wheatland and its sphere of influence and specifically address the following issues:
Infrastructure
Develop new infrastructure as well as repair, replace and retrofit aging infrastructure to ensure adequate and reliable water supply
Sediment Management
Manage sedimentation to maintain and/or increase water-holding capacity in reservoirs, and to implement erosion control to prevent contamination in water courses and water management operations
Flood Management
 Improve integrated flood management to ensure better emergency preparedness
 Increase flood protection and enhance floodplain functions and habitat
Create multi-stakeholder collaboration for flood management to achieve multiple economic, public safety, and ecological benefits

Goals/Objectives/Performance Metrics
Goals Addressed by the
Project
Objectives Addressed by
Project
The Goal of the North Stormwater Detention Basin Rehab project is to increase water quality and protect public safety through integrated flood management. It specifically addresses the following Plan goals:
Goal 2: Protect, restore and enhance water quality for water users and in support of healthy watersheds
Goal 5: Protect public safety through emergency and drought preparedness and integrated flood management
The objective of the North Stormwater Detention Basin Rehab project is to improve the quality of storm water discharged to Dry Creek and increase reliability and function of the existing pumping equipment to enhance flood protection. The project specifically addresses the following Plan objectives:
2.1 Protect and improve water quality by mitigating for urban, agricultural and wildland (sediment) run-off
5.1 Improve integrated flood management to ensure emergency
Page 2 of 5

What performance metrics will be used to demonstrate that objectives are being met?
Wherever possible, provide a quantitative measurement reflecting successful project outcomes. preparedness, increase flood protection and enhance regional and inter-regional collaboration
5.2 Support regional and inter-regional collaboration to improve drought and emergency preparedness
TBD
The project success will be measured by the reduction in turbidity of storm water discharged by the facility.

Statewide Priorities
Use and Reuse Water More Efficiently
 Capture, store, treat, and use urban stormwater runoff (such as percolation to usable aquifers, underground storage beneath parks, small surface basins, domestic stormwater capture systems, or the creation of catch basins or sumps downhill of development
Climate Change Response Actions
 Adaptation to Climate Change: Water management system modifications that address anticipated climate
Expand Environmental Stewardship
 Expand environmental stewardship to protect and enhance the environment by improving watershed, floodplain, and instream functions and to sustain water and flood management ecosystems.
Practice Integrated Flood Management
 Better emergency preparedness and response
 Improved flood protection
Page 3 of 5

Protect Surface and Groundwater Quality
 Protecting and restoring surface water and groundwater quality to safeguard public and environmental health and secure water supplies for beneficial uses.
Climate Change Adaptation (maximum 200 words)
The project will assist in adapting to regional effects of climate change by improving the drainage and detention basins for Wheatland. Improvements to the drainage system will provide lower flood risk to existing and proposed development.
GHG Emissions Reduction
The project contributes to the reduction in GHG emissions by upgrading existing pumps with higher efficiency, cleaner pumps and scheduling off-peak pumping to improve overall, system-wide energy efficiency and to reduce GHG emissions.

If you are an Urban Water Supplier: N/A
Preliminary design and calculation documentation
1.
Have you completed an Urban
Water Management Plan and submitted to DWR?
Not Required – Wheatland’s is not considered an Urban
Water Supplier (UWS) since its current water use is below
DWR threshold for UWS.
2.
Are you in compliance with
AB1420?
N/A
3.
Do you comply with the water meter requirements (CWC Section
525)?
N/A
If you are an Agricultural Water Supplier: N/A
1.
Have you completed and submitted an AWMP?
N/A
If the project is related to groundwater: YES
1.
Has GWMP been completed and submitted for the subject basin?
Yes – See Yuba County Water Agency Ground Water
