Our Vision A completed system of stormwater management facilities providing multiple quality-of-life benefits to our community. Our Mission It is the purpose of the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District to control storm and other surface water flows: Preventing property damage, personal injury and inconvenience; and Managing such waters for long-term beneficial use within the District District objectives shall be achieved through adherence to the following standards: Performance excellence by District employees and contractors; and Environmental and economic sensitivity; and Maximized public benefit through multiple use of District facilities About Special Districts Special districts are the most common form of local government throughout the State of California. According to the State’s Little Hoover Commission, “…there are more than 4,500 special districts which operate airports, harbors, cemeteries, hospitals, libraries and parks, and provide fire-fighting and paramedic services, flood control and water delivery throughout California. Of those, 2,993 are independent special districts [like the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District] run by elected or appointed boards with assistance of professional staffs. In contrast, there are 58 counties and 482 cities, making special districts the most common form of government in California.” To learn more about what makes special districts so special, visit the California Special District Association’s ‘Districts Make The Difference’ website.

Senate Bill 272 On October 11, 2015, the State of California enacted Senate Bill 272 (SB 272) which required local agencies to make publicly available a catalog of application software (“Enterprise System”) that is used enterprise wide. Enterprise System “Enterprise System,” as defined by Senate Bill 272 (SB272), is referred to as a system that “collects, exchanges, and analyzes information that the agency uses” in multiple departments and/or is an original data source. Requirements For each agency’s Enterprise Systems the following is to be disclosed: Current system vendor. Current system product. A brief statement of the system’s purpose. A general description of the categories or types of data. The department that serves as the primary custodian. How frequently the data is collected. How frequently the system data is updated. Exceptions Local agencies must disclose Enterprise Systems with the following exceptions: Physical access control systems, including employee identification management, video monitoring and other physical control systems. Infrastructure and mechanical control systems, including those that control or manage street lights, electrical, natural gas, or water or sewer functions. Systems related to 911 dispatch and operation or emergency services. Systems that would be restricted from disclosure pursuant to Section 6254.19. The specific records that the information system collects, exchanges, or analyzes. In addition, the bill is not intended to “permit public access to records held by an agency to which access is otherwise restricted by statute or to alter the process for requesting public records.” If the public interest is served by not disclosing or is best served by disclosure of “system name, brief title, or identifier of the system,” then the agency may provide these brief details of the system. All agencies are to complete this posting by July 1, 2016, and update annually. The full text of the bill can be found here: SB 272 Neve | Powered by WordPress Accessibility Tools hide X Accessibility (CTRL+M) X The accessibility of our website is taken very seriously.

The grant provides 70% project funding for a series of five multi-benefit stormwater projects spread out across south Fresno.

Gould To Fancher Pipeline Construction of just over a half-mile of 72″ diameter concrete pipeline connecting the Fresno Irrigation District’s Gould Canal to the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District’s Fancher Creek Detention Basin has been completed. Trenching took place down the center of McCall Avenue, north of McKinley to the Gould Canal. The completed project allows routing of stormwater out of Gould Canal to increase canal capacity, which then allows pumping of downstream basins into Gould Canal during major storms. The new pipeline also allows water to be diverted to Fancher Creek Detention Basin for groundwater recharge, rather than being routed out of the local region. Fancher Creek Detention Basin Construction of two 14’x21’x16’ subterranean concrete intake structures has been completed at the District’s 271-acre Fancher Creek Detention Basin, at McKinley and McCall in Fresno. The structures are located on either side of the Fresno Irrigation District’s channel that runs east and west across the site, and each intake structure houses three, 15,000 gallon-per-minute capacity pumps. The completed work adds to the capability of Fancher Creek Detention Basin to function as a flood control facility, due to the movement of large volumes of water with remote operations, and gives it new large-scale usefulness in performing groundwater recharge. The basin holds 1,891 acre-feet of stormwater and boasts an estimated annual groundwater recharge capacity of 2,500 acre-feet. Basin “BK” and Basin “DV” Two pump stations broke ground in late 2023, Basin “BK” (Kings Canyon and Clovis) and Basin “DV” (Kings Canyon and Temperance). Each project will construct a pump station, relief line, and canal intertie (both will tie to Fancher Creek Canal). In addition, the Basin “BK” project will construct a storm drain that will provide drainage service to an older residential area. A new pipeline will connect the basin to the Fresno Irrigation District’s (FID) nearby Fancher Creek Canal to allow surface water to be routed into the basin during dry weather. That water will percolate through the soil in the basin floor and help replenish the groundwater aquifer. Meanwhile, the new pump station will be able to move stormwater through the pipeline from the basin into the canal during times of heavy rain when extra basin capacity is needed to prevent localized flooding. These functions can be monitored and controlled remotely from the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District’s (FMFCD) Operations Center by the new telemetry system. These projects have a combined area of 21 acres, stormwater capacity of 305 acre-feet, and annual estimated groundwater recharge capability of 450 acre-feet. Central Basin Three new Fresno Irrigation District (FID) groundwater recharge basins were constructed as part of the SWGP Prop 1 project: a 40-acre site at East and Malaga Avenues, a 14-acre site at Orange and Lincoln Avenues, and a 36-acre site at Central and Hughes Avenues. Now completed, they will be able to receive, hold, and recharge water for groundwater recharge. The combined 90 acres of new recharge basins will have the capacity to recharge roughly 2,200 acre-feet annually. Excavation of the 40-acre and 14-acre sites was done in cooperation with the California High Speed Rail (HSR) Authority, adding another layer of interagency collaboration to this already-collaborative project. Fill material needed for HSR projects was pulled from the basin sites, further reducing local cost share. Visit FID’s website for more information and project photos. .

Park reservations for the pavilions are no longer being accepted at the District office. Basin Parks in Fresno and Clovis The District operates 150+ stormwater basins to capture and control stormwater and urban runoff in the Fresno/Clovis area. The basins also help recharge our community’s groundwater aquifer. Recreation is yet another use of public land at 23 of these stormwater basins. Some are simply open green space, others have play equipment, baseball diamonds, or soccer fields. Two, Sloan Johnson Oso de Oro Lake Park and Trolley Creek Park, are award-winning parks designed to be fully accessible by visitors of varying physical abilities.

Rain and excess water from home use (over watering, car washing, etc.) flow down gutters, into pipes and to stormwater basins, canals, creeks, and in some areas, to the San Joaquin River. This water contributes to groundwater recharge and ends up as part of our drinking water supply, so it’s important to keep storm drains and stormwater clean. Pollution prevention is not just up to businesses, but individuals, too. There are over 600,000 people in the Fresno/Clovis area and we all need to do our part to help keep stormwater clean. Protect Your Water…It’s Just Beneath Your Feet Take a look and take a listen to the pollution prevention commercials produced for the District’s national award-winning media campaign. TV Commercial – English , Spanish Brochure On Main Pollution Prevention Messages – English , Spanish Look For Storm Drain Markers “No Dumping – Protect Our Waters” is a simple, but important message that builds public awareness that pollutants flow across our city into gutters, storm drain pipes, which lead to ponding basins. Look for markers like this on storm drain inlets, along the street. Tip To Prevent Stormwater Pollution At Home Never Wash Anything Into The Gutter: People often don’t realize whatever you put into the gutter can make its way to our basins and groundwater. Rinse water from painting, spraying household herbicides and pesticides, washout of pool filters, chemical and food containers, dust and debris from yard work or construction, trash can cleaning washout/waste water, and any other activity that puts chemical residue into the gutter is not just prohibited by local law. It’s hazardous to your health! Maintain Your Vehicle: Inspect and maintain your car regularly to prevent/stop leaks. Recycle used oil, antifreeze, and other fluids at an automotive center, or participate in curbside oil recycling. Used oil recycling information: City of Fresno, City of Clovis, County of Fresno or state-wide . Use absorbent kitty litter and sweep up leaks and spills. Dispose of the litter in garbage containers. Never wash spills into the gutter! Reduce automobile use by carpooling, biking, walking, or riding the bus. When it rains, air pollution turns into stormwater pollution! Household Hazardous Waste Collection: Household hazardous waste is chemicals in your home, garden and garage that should not be dumped down inside drains or disposed of in the trash or dumped into the gutter. Some examples include paint, pesticides, motor oil, light bulbs, batteries, cleaning chemicals and garden chemicals. To find out how and where to dispose of household hazardous waste, go to the County of Fresno’s Household Hazardous Waste page . Paint With Care: Never wash paints or painting equipment residue into the street! Water-based paint, rollers, brushes, and equipment must be rinsed in a sink. Avoid oil-based paint. Disposal – Unwanted oil-based paint, varnishes, and used thinner can be taken to Fresno County’s Household Hazardous Waste Facility . Save and reuse thinner whenever possible. Empty and dry paint containers can be disposed of in the garbage. If you need to dispose of larger quantities of paint, visit www.paintcare.org for a list of retailers who will take care of it for you. Empty and dry paint containers can be disposed of in the garbage. Be A Smart Gardener: Gardening creates stormwater pollution when rainwater carries off garden chemicals that have been applied to the garden and landscape. Buy less toxic home and garden products. Learn about less toxic products and natural control methods (Integrated Pest Management – IPM) by visiting the District’s No-Spray Day page . Buy only the amount you need. Follow product label instructions to avoid using too much. Do not apply lawn or garden chemicals when rain is forecast. Rinse lawn and garden chemical containers three times; each time, pour the rinse water into the applicator and use it in your last application of the product. Give unwanted chemicals to someone who can properly use them, or take them to a household hazardous waste collection event. Sweep sidewalks and patios, instead of hosing them down. Compost leaves and clippings, or put them in the green waste bin. Bag animal waste and put it in the garbage. Conserve Water In Your Yard: When people overwater, that water is not only wasted, but carries garden chemicals and picks up street pollutants from the gutter and delivers them to stormwater inlets and our basins. Seventy percent of all water used in Fresno is used outside of the home. Half of that amount is wasted as overwatering. Over watering your landscape wastes water and can carry garden chemicals such as weed killers, pesticides and fertilizers off your lawn and into the storm drain system. Over watering also costs you money if you’re already on a water meter. Check your sprinklers monthly to make sure they’re on the right seasonal schedule and that the system is working well (sprays are pointed at greenery and not the driveway or sidewalk, leaks are fixed and broken sprinkler heads are replaced). Get for more information on water conservation from the City of Clovis Water Conservation and in the City of Fresno Water Management. More Things You Can Do: Reduce, reuse, and recycle! Don’t litter.
