AV
FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD, CHIEF ENGINEER
DATE: AUGUST 6, 1996
SUBJECT: JOINT FUNDING AGREEMENT WITH THE UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
Project No.: 7505-6F8161
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. Recommended Action:
APPROVE the Joint Funding Agreement, dated October 1, 1996, with the United States Geological
Survey (USGS)for stream gaging for the period for October 1, 1996, to September 30, 1997, and
AUTHORIZE the Chief Engineer to make payment for the Flood Control District's share of the cost.
II. Financial Impact:
The total cost of the stream gaging program for the period form October 1, 1996, to September 30,
1997, is $13,300. The Flood Control District's cost is $6,650 and USGS's cost is $6,650.
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
Since 1962, the USGS and the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District
have been sharing the operation and maintenance costs of the stream gage on San Ramon Creek at
San Ramon under the USGS's Coopetative Water Resources Investigation Program.
Long-term, continuous records of stream flow are essential to the calibration and verification of
watershed runoff data used by the District's Engineering Division for the design of all drainage
improvements in the County.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
Non-approval of the agreement would result in the loss of opportunity to obtain shared data used to '
predict storm runoff and to design flood control improvements.
