REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND On June 14, 1988, the Board indicated its intent to par- ticipate with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on the Walnut Creek Basin Investigation Study. The Walnut Creek Basin Investigation is a study authorized by the Congress to determine the scope of needed improvements on several tributaries in the Walnut Creek basin. The study has identified five projects that appear to have sufficient merit to warrant Corps of Engineers' involvement. These projects are: 1. Grayson Creek-East For, East Branch 2. Murderer's Creek 3 . Tice Creek 4. San Ramon Creek-Chaney Road to Livorna Road 5. Green Valley Creek-Upstream of I-680 to Diablo Road The study agreement specifies the scope of work to be performed and the financial responsibility of each party. District staff will perform approximately 25 percent of the engineering work. IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION Failure to participate in the study may mean the loss of any. potential' federal funding for channel improvements in these areas.
