Placer County is studing 18 different flood control projects, including two dams to increase the amount of water that could be stored during a 100-year flood event. The water district has identified 500 homes and businesses in Sacramento and Placer counties that are less than 2 feet above the base flood elevation for a 100-year flood in the Dry Creek flood plain.
