The last two agencies have recently entered into formal agreement regarding approximately 565 acres of land and water area at San Leandro Bay, to be utilized for publi c park purposes. The Park District has responsibility for the planning effort of this project, which culminates years of citizen involvement toward establishment of a shoreline park at San Leandro Bay. Special acknowledgement and thanks are extended to the many individuals of the Citizens' Advisory Committee on San Leandro Bay Planning, . without whose work this project may not have come to pass at a II. Their report, Guidelines for San Leandro Bay was an exhaustive discussion of many of the problems and opportunities at San Leandro Bay which has served as a guiding document for subsequent actions, including the present report. 1. INTRODUCTION INTENT OF REPORT The Master Plan of the East Bay Regional Park District has established a Parkland Planning Policy to guide development of both new acquisitions and existing parklands. For existing parks the first step in this process is the preparation of the Resource Analysis, as per the District Master Plan (page 28). IIResource Analysis: After a parkland site has been acquired by the Distri ct and prior to the development of a land use plan, the District will complete a resource analysis which will identify features of the parkland whi ch have signifi cant resource value as well as provide a potential plan for vegetation and wildlife management. Where an aquatic element is involved, a water management plan will be in­ cluded. Guidelines will be established to be used in later planning processes to protect significant natural resources which could be ~dversely affected by parkland use. II The present report has been prepared in response to the above requirement. It is a discussion of the existing resources, the present or possible future impact of development on these resources, and the preparation of guidelines designed to protect and enhance those resources. Use patterns, existing use problems, recreation potential, and the role of the park in the overall park system will be considered in the preparation of the land use development plan. DESCRIPTION San Leandro Bay Regional Shoreline is a shoreline and water area at San Leandro Bay in the cities of Oakland and Alameda, A lameda County, California. The site includes the waters of San Leandro Bay and remaining salt marshes, and adjacent flat upland fi II. The vegetation of the upland areas is sparse, consisting of weedy grassland or open brush, with some areas being completely barren. The East Bay Regional Park District has recently completed an agreement with the Port of Oakland for management of approxi mate Iy 565 acres of water and land at San Leandro Bay for pub Ii c park purposes. An agreement with the Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District has also been reached regarding recreational use of the channels of San Leandro and Elmhurst Creeks. An agreement with the City of Alameda has been reached in principle regarding the 37-acre city disposal site. A Ithough not currently subject to formal agreements, several areas adjacent to the bay were included in this study for resource inventory purposes. Agreements with the East Bay Municipal Utility District and other landowners are expected.

HISTORICAL RESOURCES The Indians: Indian shellmounds once existed near the original northern shore of San Leandro Bay in what is now Alameda. The local Indians, named Costanoan by the Spaniards, were nomadic, moving among several areas with few permanent villages. Food was plentiful in the water and the extensive marshes and much of the area between the bay and hills was covered with oaks, whose acorns were a staple in the Indian diet. The Spaniards: The first Spanish exploration of the east bay was carried out in 1772 by an expedition under Pedro Fages, and another in 1776 under Juan Bautista de Anza. In 1820 the first of many Spanish (later Mexican) east bay land grants was made, to Luis fv4taria Peralta. This grant included virtually all of what is today Oakland, Piedmont Alameda, Berkeley and Albany--a total of 43,470 acres. It extended from San Francis­ co Bay to the ridge line of the Berkeley/Oakland hills between Cerrito Creek on the north and San Leandro Creek on the south and included the eastern Shoreline of San Leandro Bay. The Americans: In the 1840's Americans began to arrive in great numbers and friction soon developed between them and the Ca lifornios which reached a climax with the outbreak of the Mexican War in 1846. By 1848 the war was over and California was in American hands. In that year gold was discovered in the Sierra foothills, and over the next three years the Californian population soared. In 1852 the City of Oakland was founded and the Peralta rancho was soon to disappear through subdivision, as the new state attracted more and more settlers. In 1878 the narrow gauge South Pacific Coast Railroad was completed between Alameda and Newark. The construction of the railroad included major trestle work across the marshes south of San Leandro Bay anda bridge across the bay through what is now Doolittle Pond, entering Alameda at Encinal Avenue. The bridge remained in use until 1906, when it was damaged beyond repair by the San Francisco earthquake. By that time the line had been acquired by the Southern Pacific Railroad, and a connection to Southern Pacific's main line obviated the need for the bridge and it was removed. Alameda Becomes an Island: For some years Alameda was the gateway to, and la rgest city of, A lameda County. It was a Iso growing industria lIy with port activities expanding on Brooklyn Basin (a part of the Oakland Estuary). In 1902 a channel called the Tidal Canal, 1.4 miles long and 275 feet wide, was excavated by the US Army Corps of EngJneers to connect Brooklyn Ibsin with San Leandro Bay to improve navigation and increase port area. Construction of .Park, Fruitvale, and High Street bridges was part of the project. fv4tajor maintenance on the channel was carried out in 1910, 1922 and 1927. 4 Public Acquisition: The Peralta lands had been broken up into farms and towns by the 1860's. The communities of Oakland and Alameda grew rapidly and industrial dev­ elopment began a long the waterfront. In 1911, through the State Tidelands Grants Act, marshland and "submerged lands" were transferred to cities around San Francisco Bay from the state, with the stipulation that the areas be developed for port use. In the 1920's, air commerce began as an industry and Oakland began to prepare for particip­ ation therein. This accelerated pubHc land acquisition i'n the area south of San Leandro Bay for an airport. The Oakland Airport: The Port Commission was established in February 1927 to oversee airport and seaport operations. The airport was completed that year. Road access to the airport was poor, so in 1928 a channel was dredged from the Tidal Canal across San Leandro Bay and up what became known as Airport Channel. This channel expedited mail and other freight deliveries to and from the airport and the industrial areas to the north. The channel served through World War II and then was abandoned, as road access improved. San Leandro Bay Waterfowl Refuge: In 1931 an act of the California legislature created a waterfowl refuge on Sal') Leandro Bay and its surroun&ng marsbes.

But, fortunate is the student who enjoys the subject of his research. This slim volume is essentially the original manuscript, except for minor changes in the interest of greater accuracy, which was approved in 1964 by Drs. James Parsons, Gunther Barth and the late Carl Sauer. That it is being published now, perhaps as a response to a new awareness of and interest in our past, is due to the efforts of the “Friends of the Alameda Free Library” who have made a project of getting my thesis into print. I wish to thank the members of this organization and all others, whose continued interest and perseverance have made this publication possible. Imelda Merlin April, 1977 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The writer wishes to acknowledge her indebtedness to the many individuals and institutions who gave substantial assistance in assembling much of the material treated in this thesis. Particular thanks are due to Dr. Clarence J. Glacken for suggesting the topic. The writer also greatly appreciates the interest and support rendered by the staff of the Alameda Free Library, especially Mrs. Hendrine Kleinjan, reference librarian, and Mrs. Myrtle Richards, curator of the Alameda Historical Society. The Engineers’ and other departments at the Alameda City Hall supplied valuable maps an information on the historical development of the city.

  • Section 3.4 Biological Resources 3.4- Biological Resources
    SECTION 3.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES 3.4- BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES 3.4 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES This section discusses the existing sensitive biological resources of the San Francisco Bay Estuary (the Estuary) that could be affected by project-related construction and locally increased levels of boating use, identifies potential impacts to those resources, and recommends mitigation strategies to reduce or eliminate those impacts. The Initial Study for this project identified potentially significant impacts on shorebirds and rafting waterbirds, marine mammals (harbor seals), and wetlands habitats and species. The potential for spread of invasive species also was identified as a possible impact. 3.4.1 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES SETTING HABITATS WITHIN AND AROUND SAN FRANCISCO ESTUARY The vegetation and wildlife of bayland environments varies among geographic subregions in the bay (Figure 3.4-1), and also with the predominant land uses: urban (commercial, residential, industrial/port), urban/wildland interface, rural, and agricultural. For the purposes of discussion of biological resources, the Estuary is divided into Suisun Bay, San Pablo Bay, Central San Francisco Bay, and South San Francisco Bay (See Figure 3.4-2). The general landscape structure of the Estuary’s vegetation and habitats within the geographic scope of the WT is described below. URBAN SHORELINES Urban shorelines in the San Francisco Estuary are generally formed by artificial fill and structures armored with revetments, seawalls, rip-rap, pilings, and other structures. Waterways and embayments adjacent to urban shores are often dredged. With some important exceptions, tidal wetland vegetation and habitats adjacent to urban shores are often formed on steep slopes, and are relatively recently formed (historic infilled sediment) in narrow strips.

    RISING REALITY The Risk The Embarcadero The Future The Shorelines Resources Battle on many fronts The Bay Area faces a common threat along its shores, but must meet it with an array of ambitious and creative responses By John King November 2016 Boardwalks along the edge of the Alviso Salt Marsh restoration project allow visitors to enjoy the surrounding area on the edge of San Francisco Bay in Alviso. Michael Macor, The Chronicle The levee that rings Oakland International Airport seemingly has nothing in common with the salt­crusted stretch of flat land alongside Menlo Park’s Bayfront Park. One is a 7­foot­high line of boulders, an engineered barrier between the tidal flows that surge in through the Golden Gate twice daily and the runways used by 10,000 commercial flights every month. The other is quiet desolation, a white void dotted with stagnant pools of water. Both, though, are examples of the Bay Area shoreline at risk from the long­term effects of sea level rise — and reminders that there’s no single way to prepare for what might lie ahead.
