The Marin County Flood Control and Water Conservation
District was formed in 1955 by an Act of the State
Legislature found in Chapter 68 of the State Water Code.
The Board of Supervisors sits as Board of the District
and the District is staffed by the Department of Public
Works. The boundaries of the District are contiguous
with those of the County of Marin and eight "zones"
have been established to address specific watershed flooding
problems. Each zone has an "Advisory Board" of 5 or 7
residents, which are appointed by the Board of Supervisors.
These Boards review Zone budgets and master plans and advise
the Board on these matters.
Video recordings of the Flood District proceedings are now available online.
The District maintains Real Time Precipitation and
Stream Gauges, publishes Creek Rating Tables (Stage - Discharge) and oversees the MCSTOPPP and
FEMA Flood Insurance programs.
The Marin County Department of Public Works is pleased to announce the implementation of a Countywide Watershed Program
including the development of a Stewardship Plan. The Watershed Program will provide a framework to integrate flood protection,
creek and wetland restoration, fish passage and water quality improvements with public and private partners to protect and
enhance Marin's watersheds. The Plan will include all the watersheds that contain flood zones plus areas where the County is
facilitating creek and fish passage restoration programs. We invite your input to help guide our process. The following link

The Department of Public Works has launched a new program in the Ross Valley/Corte Madera Creek watershed (Flood Zone 9) for flood control and creek stewardship using a watershed wide approach. Learn more at www.rossvalleywatershed.org.
