TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, AS THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE CONTRA COSTA COUNTY FLOOD
CONTROL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT
FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
DATE: April 28, 1987
SUBJECT: Adopt Position of Support for Continued Funding for Soil Conservation Service
Flood Control Projects.
Specific Request(s) or Recommendation(s) & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
ADOPT position of support for the continuance of the Department of Agriculture, Soil Con-
servation Service, Public Law 566 Projects Program; and for the continuance of full allocations
for this program in the Federal Budget for Fiscal Year 1988. AUTHORIZE Chair to convey
this position to the local congressional delegation.
FINANCIAL IMPACT-
A reduction in federal funding for the Public Law 566 Projects Program would jeopardize the
"Las Trampas Creek Erosion Control Project" and the "Kellogg Creek Detention Basin Project."
Both projects are multi-million dollar projects planned to be constructed in'the near future.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
The P.L. 566 Program has brought many flood and erosion control projects , to this County,
including projects on many of the major creeks such as Grayson, Las Trampas, San Ramon and
Marsh Creeks. The most recent project was the Pine Creek Detention Basin which has provided
flood protection to a significant portion of the Concord area. Two major projects are planned
for in the near future and funding for the P.L. 566 Program must continue for these projects
to be accomplished.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The proposed Federal Budget for Fiscal Year 1988 includes a drastic decrease in funding for
the P.L. 566 Projects Program. This reduction may delay or eliminate the two projects
under study now as well as other projects in the future.
