Reservoir, which receives water from 

Lost Creek, and the Slate Creek and 

South Fork Feather River diversion 

tunnels in Butte, Yuba and Plumas 

counties, California. 

SFWPA’s Proposed Action includes: 

(1) Raising Sly Creek Dam 

approximately 10 feet through the use of 

mechanically stabilized earth walls 

constructed from approximately 20,000 

cubic yards of fill from an onsite borrow 

area; (2) modifying the spillway crest 

structure; (3) replacing the spill gate; 

and (4) altering roadway approaches to 

the Sly Creek Dam crest and re-paving 

the road to improve drainage conditions 

in the adjacent campground and borrow 

site. 

The EA contains Commission staff’s 

analysis of the potential environmental 

effects of the Proposed Action and 

concludes that the Proposed Action, 

with the implementation of 

environmental protective measures, 

would not constitute a major federal 

action significantly affecting the quality 

of the human environment.

Reference Room, or it may be viewed on
