SUBJECT: The Task Force Status Report and Recommendations for
Drainage Area 46 (Grayson-Murderers' Creeks)
On January 14, 1986 , Supervisor S. W. McPeak provided each
Board Member with copies of the status report and recommendations of
the Task Force established to review the Draft Environmental Impact
Report (EIR) for the plan and formation of Drainage Area 46
(Grayson-Murderers' Creeks) . She noted that the Task Force opposes
the project as proposed in the draft environmental impact report due
to its heavy dependence on high efficiency channelization and
culverting, which would result in the removal or alteration of a
significant amount of the natural creek environment. She noted that
the Task Force will continue to meet to develop and or consider
alternatives to the original proposal and has recommended that the
Draft Environmental Impact Report be amended or rewitten to fit the
newly developed alternatives, their environmental effects and feasi-
bility. Supervisor McPeak advised that the ,Task Force has developed
principles that should govern the development of the revised plan
for Drainage Area 46 .
Beverly Ortiz, member of the Task Force and Albert McNabney
a member of the Mt. Diablo Audubon Society briefly spoke on the work
of the Task Force.
Supervisor Fanden, in commenting on the need to review a
project prior to the preparation of the draft environmental impact
report, recommended that the Public Works Director be requested to
develop a policy to require discussions of proposed environmental
impact reports on major flood control projects with the Supervisor
in whose District the area is under study, or with an appropriate
Board Committee prior to the preparation of the draft environmental
impact report.
On recommendation of Supervisor McPeak, IT IS BY THE BOARD
ORDERED that the recommendations of the Task Force are APPROVED and
that their report is REFERRED to the Countywide Urban Creeks Task
Force for review and possible incorporation into their Concept
Paper.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk is requested to
transmit copies of the report to the Cities of Pleasant Hill,
Lafayette, and Walnut Creek .
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the recommendation of
Supervisor Fanden, as noted above is APPROVED.
