• The current boundary along the southern side of Vina is Big Chico Creek which divides the City of Chico and places it into two subbasins, Vina and West Butte. The proposed basin boundary modification would move the southern boundary of the Vina subbasin further south to incorporate the City of Chico and portions of Butte County into the Vina subbasin so that the City of Chico can primarily participate in a single process to develop a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) covering its jurisdiction and the larger urban area. The proposed modified boundary would follow the Skyway just south of Butte Creek, portions of Butte Creek, Highway 99, and then the Chico Greenline until it intersects Big Chico Creek. This would effectively contain the city limits of Chico and existing adjacent non-agricultural areas into a single GSP planning area so that more effective groundwater management could occur through the development of appropriate sustainability thresholds and projects and actions to address any identified undesirable results. The Chico Greenline was adopted in 1982 to establish a boundary between urban and agricultural areas and it has not changed or been adjusted since. The Greenline is also included in the Land Use Element of the County’s 2030 General Plan and as such, it provides a good boundary for an adjusted subbasin boundary to align with.
