Reclamation District 2065 (Veale Tract)

RD 2065 is located on the westerly edge of the Delta, approximately two miles east of the community of Knightsen. The District boundaries encompass 1,365 acres. RD 2065 is under the ownership of four landowners and consists primarily of agricultural lands along with two single family dwellings, farm worker housing and out-buildings. There are 14 residents within the District, and no significant increase in population is projected in the next 10 to 15 years. RD 2056 maintains 5.1 miles of levees. Approximately 4.2 miles (84 percent) of existing levees meet the HMP Standard. Since the 2009 the District has focused primarily on levee maintenance and the status of the levee has not changed. In February 2014, the District entered into a Project Funding Agreement with the Department of Water Resource (DWR) in which DWR will provide up to 90 percent of the costs of a 2.2 million dollar levee rehabilitation project. If the DWR funding is secured, the District plans to rehabilitate the entire levee to meet Hazard Mitigation Plan (HMP) standards.
