Public workshop

Posted by Administrator in Archived

The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) and the Central Valley Flood Protection Board invite you to participate in a public workshop on Friday, May 13, 2016, that will provide results from the San Joaquin River Basin-wide Feasibility Study (BWFS) for discussion and feedback.

The San Joaquin River BWFS is a key supporting document to the 2017 Central Valley Flood Protection Plan (CVFPP) Update, providing technical information and recommendations to be reflected in the update along with information from the Regional Flood Management Plans (RFMP) and other supporting efforts.

During the workshop, DWR will summarize the BWFS process to date with reference to its relationship to CVFPP Update development (including integration with the Regional Flood Management Plans and Conservation Strategy), highlight a tentatively recommended plan, and describe key findings and recommendations from the BWFS. DWR will also seek additional stakeholder input and feedback from workshop participants on the BWFS findings and recommendations. This feedback will inform development of the 2017 CVFPP and draft San Joaquin River BWFS report, which will be provided for stakeholder review later in the year.
