Zone History
There are three sources of flooding in Stinson Beach: overflow of
Easkoot Creek, extremely high tides, and extremely high surf. Each
of these alone can cause some flooding and when combined, can cause
substantial flooding, property damage and public safety problems.
To address the flooding from Easkoot Creek prior to 1959 some
maintenance dredging of the creek was done occasionally by the County
DPW, State Division of Beaches and Parks, and the Corps of Engineers.
Recognizing this continuing need, the Marin County Flood Control and
Water Conservation District created Flood Control Zone Five in 1961 to
address the flooding from Easkoot Creek specifically. The main purpose
and function of the Zone was the periodic dredging of the creek and since
its formation the Zone dredged the creek in 1967, 1973, 1977, 1982, 1987,
and 1997.
