1st Admin Draft BRCP
| The first administrative draft of the Butte Regional Conservation Plan (BRCP) is posted below. This document is the first complete working draft of the BRCP and is a work-in-progress. The Stakeholder Committee and Wildlife Agencies are in the process of reviewing and providing comments on these documents. A second administrative draft will be developed later in 2011/early 2012 incorporating comments received on this first draft, followed by a public draft BRCP in mid-late 2012. Please note that sections related to Butte County meadowfoam are still under development, as are the cost and funding estimates (Chapter 8).
