assistance with regard to removal of trees which have fallen into San Pablo Creek
in E1 Sobrante and which caused flooding and .property damage during recent heavy
storms, Such trees are not eligible for removal under the county's general drainage

from creeks, further flood damage will occur throughout the county when next ,we
experience heavy storms,
