TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS,AS THE GOVERNING BOARD OF CONTRA COSTA COUNTY
AND CONTRA COSTA COUNTY FLOOD CONTROL AND WATER CONSERVATION
DISTRICT
FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD, CHIEF ENGINEER
DATE: APRIL 12, 1994
SUBJECT: JOINT FUNDING AGREEMENT WITH THE UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
Project No.: 7505-6F8161
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)& BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. Recommended Action:
APPROVE the continuation of the Joint Funding Agreement, dated October 1, 1992, with the United
States Geological Survey (USGS)for stream gaging for the period for October 1, 1993,to September
30, 1994, and AUTHORIZE the Chief Engineer to make payment for the Flood Control District's
share of the cost.
II. Financial lmpact:
The total cost of the stream gaging program for the period form October 1, 1993, to September 30,
1994, is $10,400. The Flood Control District's cost is $5,200 and USGS's cost is $5,200.
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
Since 1962, the USGS and the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District
have been sharing the operation and maintenance costs of the stream gage on San Ramon Creek
at San Ramon under the USGS'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:
Non-approval of the agreement would result in the loss of opportunity to obtain shared data used to
predict storm runoff and to design flood control improvements.
