Storm Water Resource Plan
Big Chico Creek and Little Chico Creek Watersheds Storm Water Resource Plan
The City of Chico developed a partially grant-funded Storm Water Resources Plan (SWRP) for the Big Chico Creek and Little Chico Creek Watersheds. The purpose of the SWRP is to protect storm water quality by reducing pollutants and trash and to improve the use of storm water as a resource by “bringing to the top” those multi-benefit projects that can best meet the identified priorities on a watershed basis.
Low Impact Development
In conjunction with the State’s Proposition 84 Grant Program, the City of Chico implemented LID practices in City parking lots, greenways, and residential/commercial areas.
