III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
The County, Friends of Alhambra Creek, Alhambra Creek Watershed Planning Group, Contra Costa County
Resource Conservation District,National Park Service, City of Martinez, and local residents are preparing
a State Water Resources Control Board Section 319(h) grant application to improve the drainage in the
Strentzel Lane and Sheridan Lane area of Martinez. The County and Flood Control District have spent
considerable staff time addressing this problem in the past. The County has spent considerable funds on
debris cleanup from Sheridan Lane due to flooding following heavy rains. The residents have been
inconvenienced for extended periods of time due to difficult access to their domes. The National Park
Service is interested in protecting and enhancing the John Muir gravesite property and is willing to provide
right of way for drainage improvements which will alleviate the flooding on Sheridan Lane.
The grant will be for additional funds to pay for drainage improvements, erosion control, vegetation
restoration, creek bank stabilization, and educational and monitoring programs.
By participating in this grant application, the County is agreeing to work with the other participants toward
a solution to this drainage problem.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
The local matching fund amount would not meet the application requirement and the grant could not be
submitted.
