These lands important and high-quality habitats and resources for a surround five reservoirs (Briones, San Pablo, Upper San wide variety of plant and animal species. Leandro, Chabot, and Lafayette) and one basin area that does not contain a reservoir (Pinole Valley). The District’s The District has determined that managing lands and reservoirs store high-quality drinking water and emergency reservoirs to protect water quality and important, high-quality water supplies for approximately 1.4 million water users in biological resources can best be achieved by promoting Alameda and Contra Costa Counties. Protecting water biological diversity (biodiversity). Biodiversity is defined quality is primary in importance to the District. Additionally, here as “the variety and variability among living organisms the District is committed to preserving and protecting the and the ecological complexes in which they occur” (Office natural resources that exist on its lands and its reservoirs. of Technology Assessment 1987).

It is for District-owned lands and reservoirs that will ensure the important to note that the EBWMP is not intended to protection of the District’s water resources and preserve require the implementation of any specific management environmental resources on District-owned lands. The actions and that approval of the plan by the Board of plan also identifies public uses considered compatible or Directors (Board) does not imply or create a future potentially compatible with the primary water quality and commitment to fund any programs or program elements. biodiversity goals. Implementation of such actions will be determined by the Board through the routine budgeting process. If funding is approved for a specific program or program element, the EBWMP will provide the direction on how that program or program element will be implemented. Plan Terminology For purposes of this plan, the term “watershed” is typically References to “non-District watershed lands” are to those used to describe District-owned lands that are the subject of lands that are tributary to District reservoirs and lands but the EBWMP. These areas include the: that are not owned by the District. When this document addresses the entire land area that is tributary to a District • San Pablo Reservoir watershed, reservoir, including both District-owned and non-District- owned lands, the terms “hydrologic watershed” and “basin” • Briones Reservoir watershed, are used. • Pinole watershed,* • Lafayette Reservoir watershed, • Upper San Leandro Reservoir watershed, and • Chabot Reservoir watershed. *District-owned nonreservoir watershed (see page 13 for further description) Section 1 Introduction 3 Board of Directors’ Policy Direction The mission statement of the District represents general management guidance regarding all lands and reservoirs owned by the District. The guiding principles, developed from the mission statement, have provided direction for the master planning process. Mission Statement In 1992, the Board adopted the following District mission statement for management of lands and resources: To manage the natural resouces Implicit in the District’s mission statement is the with which the District is entrusted, commitment to exercise responsible financial management, to provide high-quality water and ensure fair rates and charges, provide responsive customer service, and promote environmental responsibility. wastewater services for the people of the The EBWMP reflects the District’s mission by using it as East Bay, and to preserve and protect the the basis for a plan that protects reservoir water quality for environment for future generations. future generations through prudent management of District watershed natural resources. Guiding Principles In 1993, the District’s Board provided seven guiding principles for the EBWMP. These principles guided an integrated planning process that resulted in the adoption of the first EBWMP in 1996. In adopting the update to this plan in 2016, the Board reaffirmed the guiding principles as follows: 1. Protect water quality through sensitive natural resource and recreation management. 2. Ensure protection of the natural, cultural, and historical resources of the watershed on a long- term basis. 3. Respect natural resources; sustain and restore populations of native plants and animals and their environments. 4. Provide for appropriate

Center for Ecosystem Management and Restoration CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Marsh Creek Watershed Marsh Creek flows approximately 30 miles from the eastern slopes of Mt. Diablo to Suisun Bay in the northern San Francisco Estuary. Its watershed consists of about 100 square miles. The headwaters of Marsh Creek consist of numerous small, intermittent and perennial tributaries within the Black Hills. The creek drains to the northwest before abruptly turning east near Marsh Creek Springs. From Marsh Creek Springs, Marsh Creek flows in an easterly direction entering Marsh Creek Reservoir, constructed in the 1960s. The creek is largely channelized in the lower watershed, and includes a drop structure near the city of Brentwood that appears to be a complete passage barrier. Marsh Creek enters the Big Break area of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta northeast of the city of Oakley. Marsh Creek No salmonids were observed by DFG during an April 1942 visual survey of Marsh Creek at two locations: 0.25 miles upstream from the mouth in a tidal reach, and in close proximity to a bridge four miles east of Byron (Curtis 1942).

Introductions –Tim Jensen began the meeting at 10:09 am. 2. City of San Pablo— Amanda Booth reported that the Wildcat and Vale trail project is still missing some plants that were delayed, as well as some bricklaying that’s also delayed. They expect to be done early next year. They are in the process of filming a video highlighting the City’s partnership with the Council that really made this project happen. The Council will host a tour of the project in the spring. The Rumrill Complete Streets project is going to bid later this month, and will go to construction in the summer. This will be a year-plus long construction project on a very busy street; avoid if possible! The El Portal project is basically complete; bike lanes are open, bioswales are working well, and the sign is up. The traffic circles are the only thing left to be installed. They plan to submit an application to Prop 68 in March for the park project at 2600 Moraga, including adjacent creek. Formerly a school, it will be renovated into a park and likely include a trail. 3. CUSP— Josh Bradt was not present. 4. Urban Tilth— Nathan Bickart reported through Helen Fitanides: Urban Tilth's Watershed Stewardship Crew is chugging along at our three main sites: Wildcat Creek in North Richmond, Alvarado Park / Wildcat Canyon, and Cerrito Creek on the Richmond/Albany/El Cerrito border; we're also growing lots of native plants in our little greenhouse.
