Sacramento River Reclamation District Data Sheet

The Sacramento River Reclamation District (SRRD) was formed on November 8, 1999, under Water Code Section 50000, et seq. The District was formed to address the needs of parcel owners within its boundaries relating to flooding from the Sacramento River, including flooding, erosion and deposition of flood-borne materials; the need for coordination of efforts by private landowners to provide for the maintenance of existing land features in the face of flooding and erosion threats, including existing levees; and the coordination of their land uses to minimize damage and injury to property, and potential injury to life from flooding. The District provides flood control services to approximately 20,725 acres of agricultural and single-family residential parcels on the east side of the Sacramento River, north of Big Chico Creek.
