Excerpt from Oroville Reservoir, Thermalito Forebay, Thermalito Afterbay: Water Resources Recreation Report, December, 1966 The purpose of this report is to present a recreation development plan for Oroville reservoir and the offstream Thermalito features. Supporting information is presented relating to visitor use predictions, the number and cost of the facilities necessary to support such use, and the estimated primary recreation benefits which will accrue as the result of the development. The development plan was formulated by the Department of Parks and Recreation for the Department of Water Resources in conformity with Interdepartmental Agreement No. 254287, which enables the Department of Water Resources to fulfill its recreation planning responsibilities by using the professional services of the Department of Parks and Recreation. Oroville reservoir was first authorized by the Legislature in 1951 as part of the Feather River Project (now known as the "Feather River Facilities") under Chapter 144l, Section 12260 of the Water Code. The State Water Code Sections 345, 346, and 11900 through 11925, specify that the Department of Water Resources shall plan for recreation developments associated with state-construction water projects and shall acquire sufficient land to implement the development of recreation facilities. It further specifies that the Department of Parks and Recreation shall design, construct, operate, and maintain these facilities. This report has been reviewed by interested outside agencies and their comments are attached as an appendix as required by Water Code Section 345.1. A recreation development plan for the Oroville borrow area is presently being formulated. This report, as well as a report on the Oroville visitor facilities at Kelly Ridge, will be published at a later date. Management of fish and wildlife resources at state water projects is the responsibility of the Department of Fish and Game, who has worked with the Department of Water Resources in the preparation of this report. All revisions and modifications made during the review of this report has been coordinated with the Department of Parks and Recreation.
