M. 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 cost of the stream gage on San Ramon Creek at San Ramon
under the USGS's Cooperative 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.
