Stream Maintenance Program

Stream Maintenance Program

The Sonoma County Water Agency (SCWA) has developed the Stream Maintenance Program (SMP) to improve the management of streams and channels in SCWA's jurisdiction through establishing programmatic guidance. The SMP provides the organizational framework to oversee routine stream and channel maintenance activities. The SMP has three primary activities: sediment management, vegetation management, and bank stabilization. These core maintenance activities occur mainly in engineered flood control channels throughout Sonoma County, but may also occur in other facilities including other in-channel engineered structures, reservoirs, and sediment basins on an as-needed basis.
