| Delta Levees Program | Local Public Agencies | This program provides financial assistance to local agencies in the Delta and portions for the Suisun Marsh as outlined in Water Code §12200 et seq. for levee maintenance and improvements costs, and to provide mitigation and environmental enhancement associated with Delta and Suisun Marsh levee maintenance and improvements.
There are several components of the Delta Levees Program. These components offer a variety of tools to implement projects efficiently to achieve core program goals. The two largest components are the Special Flood Control Projects and Delta Levee Subventions. Through these components, the majority of the Delta Levees Program is utilized to plan and build levee maintenance, levee improvement, and habitat-related projects. |
