Details
Speaker:  Mitch Avalon (Contra Costa County Public Works Department)

Mr. Avalon will present and explore implications with a series of questions related to flood control and the concept of using long range planning such as a “50-year plan” to accomplish this.  The questions include:  How can communities in urban areas convert their concrete flood control channels into natural stream systems?  What are the benefits to the owner of a channel, often the flood control district, to convert their channels to natural streams?    What roles should the flood control district, community, non-profit groups or regulators play in this process?
