Plumas Lake, California
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Plumas Lake, California is a master-planned exurb located 30 miles north of the City of Sacramento on the Feather River, just prior to its confluence with the Sacramento River. Construction of homes began early in 2003, and at full build-out the city will have roughly 12,000 homes and 36,000 residents. The community (which is unincorporated) is located about 10 miles south of the city of Marysville in southern Yuba County.
Many individuals and agencies (including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) in the area were opposed to the construction of this project due to the history of severe (15+ feet of standing water) flooding. Notable floods in the area occurred in 1986 and 1997.
