Star Bend Setback Levee and Habitat Enhancement Project

The Star Bend Setback Levee was constructed in 2009 by Levee District 1 in advance of SBFCA’s flood risk reduction projects. The 3,300 foot-long levee, which provides both flood risk reduction and environmental benefits, was later integrated into SBFCA’s Feather River West Levee Project 1. The levee begins at the intersection of Star Bend Road and the Feather River levee (Levee Mile 4.50) and continues south to the approximate intersection of Tudor Road and the Feather River levee (Levee Mile 3.75). It was designed to provide 200-year flood protection.
