The Dixie, North Complex, and Sugar fires burned more than half of the upper Feather River watershed in 2020 and 2021, and a new federal study has put a number on one consequence almost nobody was tracking at the time: the fires sent a lot more water downstream to Lake Oroville.

Butte County may make RV living easier for fire survivors

Butte County supervisors are set to vote on a permanent zoning change that could make it easier for future disaster survivors to rebuild. The proposed amendment would allow property owners to live in an RV on their land once a residential building permit has been submitted — rather than waiting for it to be issued — giving survivors up to 3 years to make progress on their rebuild.

California's biggest water project in 50 years gets green light. Here's what to know

California regulators have cleared the way for construction of Sites Reservoir, a major new water storage project in Colusa County. The decision marks the state’s largest reservoir undertaking in more than five decades and caps years of debate over cost, environmental harm and tribal objections. Here are key takeaways: The State Water Resources Board on Wednesday, Nov. 4, approved a water rights permit for Sites Reservoir , a 13-mile-long, four-mile-wide and 260-foot-deep project near Maxwell that will hold up to 1.5 million acre feet of water at an estimated cost of more than $6 billion. A draft approval issued in March drew sharp criticism from environmental advocates, with Harrison Beck of the Center for Biological Diversity warning the decision did not address serious threats to the Sacramento River ecosystem and imperiled fish populations. Federal officials in January signed off on an environmental review that could cover up to a quarter of construction costs, with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum saying the Trump administration backed the project to expand water reliability for communities and agriculture. Gov. Gavin Newsom fast-tracked the project through 2023 legislation that expedites legal challenges under the California Environmental Quality Act, pitching Sites as a critical piece of the

California has one ballot counting trouble spot. Its the one run by an election denier

Fingers are being pointed at Shasta County's clerk - registrar of voters for the slow and mismanaged ballot counting in the rural county. photo credit: US Bureau of Reclamation/Wikimedia Shasta Lake in Shasta County, CA. Photographed on 11 March, 2019. In the end, it wasn't shady bogeymen stuffing ballot boxes or federal agents who caused disruptions on election night in the rural Northern California Republican stronghold of Shasta County. It was the seeming incompetence of Clint Curtis, the county's election-denying elections chief who's soon to be unemployed. Journalists, including CalMatters' reporting partner Shasta Scout, have reported numerous problems with the vote count in Shasta County, a 2.5-hour drive north of Sacramento. They reported overflowing ballot boxes, staffing shortages, workers putting ballots in the wrong bins, computer hiccups and voters arriving at their polling places to find signs saying the location had been moved. Most counties dropped initial results right after 8 p.m. [when the polls closed on election night], but Shasta didn't report any until around 10 p.m. since elections officials hadn't set up their computer system properly, leaving it as the only county in the state that on Wednesday morning hadn't finished counting ballots from those who voted in
