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 the following areas:
- Contra Costa County, thanks to support from Contra Costa Clean Water Program
- Marin County Flood Zone 9, thanks to Marin County Flood Control
- Residents along Arroyo De La Laguna in Alameda County, courtesy of Zone 7 Water Agency
Outside of sponsored areas, landowners can schedule a stream assessment for a fee. Please contact Jim Chayka, 510.540.6669 ext. 4 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.
