Morro Creek Stormwater Management Plan

In 2023, Morro Creek experienced catastrophic flooding, resulting in significant damage to public infrastructure and private property. In response, the City of Morro Bay pursued funding from the California Office of Emergency Services Hazard Mitigation grant PRogram (CalOES HMGP) to develop solutions to better manage floodwaters and mitigate future damage. The City has contracted with CSLRCD to administer the grant and provide Project Management services.

A technical consultant will be selected in early 2026 to complete Hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, develop conceptual alternatives, and ultimately advance the preferred alternative to 60% designs. CSLRCD will lead the public outreach component of the project.
Stay tuned for upcoming updates on this developing project!
