West Branch Burney Creek Floodway Revisions
The County of Shasta Department of Public Works, in accordance with National Flood Insurance Program regulation 65.7(b)(1), hereby gives notice of the County’s intent to revise the flood hazard information, generally located in the town of Burney north of State Highway 299. Specifically, the flood hazard information will be revised along West Branch Burney Creek from a point approximately 2380’ north of State Hwy 299 to a point approximately 1610’ north of State Hwy 299.
As a result of the revision, the floodway will widen (due to a correction of previous mapping errors), the 1-percent-annual-chance water surface elevations shall remain the same or decrease at the studied cross sections, and the 1-percent-annual-chance floodplain will widen and narrow within the area of revision.
Maps and detailed analysis of the revision can be reviewed at the Department of Public Works at 1855 Placer Street, Redding, CA 96001. Interested persons may also view additional information here or call William Miller at (530) 225-5661.
