The plans were presented by N. M. Thompson, county flood control engineer. The program includes improvement of 9600 feet of stream channel by widening the channel to 150 feet and deepening the bed to six feet. The work will be undertaken as soon as county finances are available, it is understood. Free easements will be sought from owners of ten ranches along Trabuco creek. Since the property is occupied only by grazing or water development, it is believed that such easements will be easily obtained. Fifteen and a half acres of watershed will be drained by the channel, according to Thompson. The creek descends rapidly, with a drop of 130 feet per mile, so that protection of the levees will be necessary because of the fast stream flow, it was said. Fencing and reinforcing will be used on the levees.
