    The author proves a formal Darboux type theorem for Hamiltonian operators of hydrodynamic type, which arise as dispersionless limits of the Hamiltonian operators in the KdV and similar hierarchies. It is shown that the Schouten Lie algebra is a formal differential graded Lie algebra. An exposition is included of the formal deformation theory of differential graded Lie algebras concentrated in degrees \([-1,\infty )\).
