The Chico Urban Streams Alliance (Chico USA) Clean Creeks Project is
funded by Proposition 13 and the California Bay-Delta Program (CalFed),
and managed by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board.
The Chico Urban Streams Alliance (Chico USA) held its official kick-off for the Clean Creeks Project on Thursday, July 21, 2005, at the 5-Mile Recreation Area. The press and public were invited to this kick-off event to learn about the scope of the two-year project, observe Citizen Monitoring, and obtain information on how the public can be a part of keeping our creeks clean.
