Streamside Management
Program for Landowners

SMPL is designed to assist private property owners with stream-related problems. It offers property owners advice on effective, environmentally sound stream management practices and alternatives to hardscape. It consists of an onsite assessment followed by a letter of recommendation, as well as concentrated assistance in some cases.

This program is FREE to landowners in Contra Costa and Marin Counties thanks to support from Contra Costa Clean Water Program and Marin County Flood Control. Residents along Arroyo De La Laguna, Alameda County can also receive free services.

Outside of sponsored counties, landowners can schedule a stream assessment for a fee. Please contact Mike Vukman, 510.540.6669 ext. 3 to schedule an assessment.

Materials

If you are a homeowner and UCC recommended specific materials for you, you can find them here. You will find our referral list for engineers, biologists and other professionals as well as information on the streambank stabilization methods we recommend.

t to send you what you need.
