TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, AS THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL AND WATER
CONSERVATION DISTRICT
FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD, CHIEF ENGINEER
-DATE: July 121 1988
SUBJECT: Joint Funding Agreement with the U.S. Geological Survey
Project No. 7505-6F8161.
Specific Request(s) or Recommendation(s) & Background &
Justification
I. RECOMMENDATION
APPROVE the continuation of the Joint Funding Agreement, dated
October 1, 1986 with the U.S. Geological Survey for stream
gaging for the period October 1, 1987 to September 30, 1988 and
AUTHORIZE Chief Engineer to execute agreement.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost of the stream gaging program for the period of
October 1, 1987 to September 30, 1988 is $11,750. The Flood
Control District's costs are $5,875; U.S.G.S. costs are $5,875.
XII. REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONZBACKGROUND
Since 1962 , the U.S. Geological Survey and the Contra Costa
County Flood Control District have been sharing the operation and
maintenance costs of the stream gages on San Ramon Creek at Sam
Ramon and Little Pine Creek near Alamo under the U.S.G.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
Loss of opportunity to share cost which would cause loss of
longterm data base required to predict storm runoff for project
design.
