Santa Clara Valley Water District Stream Maintenance Program (1999)

CONCUR designed and facilitated a 30-stakeholder advisory committee through a four meeting process to assist the District in preparing a District-wide effort to assess and mitigate the impacts of its stream maintenance program. The District’s effort is one of the first ever to tackle stream maintenance comprehensively. Throughout the project, CONCUR lead discussions focused on the goal and objectives of the program, the elements of a mitigation program to offset the impacts of stream maintenance, and the implementation of the program. Participants included public works directors of South Bay cities, the Corps of Engineers, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, ranching interests, and environmental and homeowners’ organizations.
