There are numerous ways to be a good creek steward that protects the environment. It can be fun and community oriented. But sometimes it can be difficult, time consuming, or expensive. But, there are resources available to help you along the way.
The Advisory Committee for the County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, Zone 9 has contracted with the Coastal San Luis Resource Conservation District to provide free technical assistance to creek-adjacent landowners in the San Suis Obispo watershed.
Types of creek-related concerns with which the RCD can provide assistance include:
Debris Build-up
Is that pile of limbs in or near the creek a health amount of woody debris or a potential flood hazard?
Thick Vegetation
Should creek vegetation be trimmed to reduce the flood hazard to your property?
Streambank and Road Erosion
Is the creek cutting excessively into one of its banks? Are banks unstable or exposed to erosion?
Permits
Are any permits required to do the needed work in the creek or on the banks? How can permits be obtained?
Costs
What is the estimated cost for needed work?
The RCD looks forward to working with you in protecting your place by the creek! Contact us at 772-4391 or send email. Visit our website at Coastal RCD
