A full range of alternative flood control measures, including flood detention basins and ideas eliminated through the years, are being considered in a review of the Ross Valley Flood Protection and Watershed Program. A draft plan is expected to be completed by June.
The Marin County Flood Control & Water Conservation District has initiated the review to analyze the proposed measures that would help prevent flooding in Zone 9, comprised of the chronically vulnerable Ross Valley communities of Fairfax, San Anselmo, Larkspur, Ross, Kentfield and Greenbrae. The goal will be to arrive at the most viable and publicly accepted plan for flood reduction in areas near Corte Madera Creek.
Alternatives will be laid out at the April 16 meeting of the Flood Zone 9 Advisory Board at San Anselmo Town Hall, 525 San Anselmo Avenue.
