  • Pt. Isabel-Stege Area
    Tales of the Bay Shore -- Pt. Isabel-Stege area Geology: The “bones” of the shoreline from Albany to Richmond are a sliver of ancient, alien sea floor, caught on the edge of North America as it overrode the Pacific. Fleming Point (site of today’s racetrack), Albany Hill, Pt. Isabel, Brooks Island, scattered hillocks inland, the hills at Pt Richmond, and the hills across the San Pablo Strait (spanned by the Richmond Bridge) all are part of this Novato Terrane. Erosion and uplift eventually left their hard rock as hilltops in a valley. Still later – only about 5000 years ago -- rising seas from the melting glaciers of our last Ice Age flooded the valley, forming today’s San Francisco Bay. The “alien” hilltops became islands, peninsulas linked to shore by marsh, or isolated dome-like “turtlebacks.” Left: Portion of 1911 map of SF Bay showing many Native American sites near Pt. Isabel and Stege. Right: 1853 U.S. Coastal Survey map showing N. end of Albany Hill, Cerrito Creek, Pt. Isabel, and marshes/ to North. Native Americans: Native Americans would have watched the slow rise of today’s Bay. When Europeans reached North America, the East Bay was the home of Huchiun Ohlone peoples. Living in groups generally of fewer than 100 people, they moved seasonally amid rich and varied resources, gathering, hunting, fishing, and encouraging useful plants with pruning and burning. They made reed boats, baskets, nets, traps, mortars, and a wide variety of implements and decorations. Along the shellfish-rich shoreline they gradually built up substantial hills of debris – shell mounds -- that kept them above floods and served as multipurpose homesites, burial sites, refuse dumps, and more.

  • Low Impact Development (Lid) Siting Methodology
    LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT (LID) SITING METHODOLOGY: A GUIDE TO SITING LID PROJECTS USING A GIS AND AHP A University Thesis Presented to the Faculty Of California State University, East Bay In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Geography By Andrew Jack October 30, 2012 Copyright Andrew Jack © 2012 ii ABSTRACT The purpose of this research project is to develop a straightforward and cost-effective methodology that local governments and nonprofit organizations can use to identify sites that have the greatest potential for Limited Impact Design (LID) stormwater management projects. The methodology is applied to watersheds in Western Contra Costa County, California. A review of LID manuals guided the selection of site suitability criteria and professional opinions from two stormwater managers guided the ranking of the criteria. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to convert these rankings into coefficients which were then applied to the chosen criteria. A geographic information system (GIS) was used to develop site suitability rankings of the study area. Maps depicting suitable sites for LID placement were generated using this methodology. These maps act as a guide that the aforementioned groups can use for LID project planning. The top ranked sites, suitable for LID, identified by the methodology were primarily areas with large parking lots and building footprints. These sites should be targeted for LID projects because they are often the largest contributors to hydrograph modification and have most significantly altered the site hydrology. iii LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT (LID) SITING METHODOLOGY: A GUIDE TO SITING LID PROJECTS USING A GIS AND AHP By Andrew Jack Approved: Date ____________________________ _______________________ Dr.

  • Point Isabel Regional Shoreline
    1 San Francisco Bay Area Water Trail Site Description for Point Isabel Regional Shoreline Location, Ownership, and Management: Point Isabel Regional Shoreline is located at the end of Isabel Street, in the southern portion of the City of Richmond. The site is part of McLaughlin Eastshore State Park, but is managed by the East Bay Regional Park District. Contact Name: Takei, Kevin Contact Phone: (510) 544-3172 Contact E-mail: [email protected] Primary launch – stairs to Pocket beach – small gravel Emergency Egress – cobble gravel beach beach path Facility Description: Point Isabel Regional Shoreline is a popular windsurfing launch due to the ideal wind direction and frequency. The primary water access location features cement stairs that lead to a small gravel beach protected behind a rock jetty. The stairs to the beach are substantially eroding and can be hazardous. There is also a pocket beach in the southern portion of Point Isabel that is used by kayakers under calm conditions. Access to this beach requires a short scramble down the rock revetment. In addition, a water entry path of cement cobble is located just south of the Hoffman Channel, which is primarily used by dogs to access the water but also provides an emergency egress for windsurfers. Point Isabel provides a variety of other amenities that make the site a good launch for non- motorized small boats. A picnic area is located adjacent to the primary water access. The two ADA-accessible restrooms are located near the parking area and close to Sit & Stay Café. Free parking is available in a large lot north of the site and along Isabel Street.

  • Categorization of Watersheds for Potential Stormwater Monitoring in San Francisco Bay
    Exploratory categorization of watersheds - 1 - Exploratory categorization of watersheds for potential stormwater monitoring in San Francisco Bay Ben Greenfield, Marcus Klatt, and Lester McKee, SFEIa Summary This document presents technical information regarding watershed classification schemes and potential sampling priorities. Though this information is needed to develop appropriate study designs, the optimal study design to address the MRP questions must be based on a combination of this technical information, monitoring and management considerations, and stakeholder priorities. Thus, the final decision regarding appropriate study design is pending stakeholder input. The purpose of this document is to summarize efforts to categorize watersheds based on available information. The 185 watersheds in the study area (Figure 1) contain a variety of attributes available in GIS layers. Using this information, cluster analysis is performed to categorize the watersheds into a manageable number of categories (8 categories is selected). Two alternative categorization schemes are also presented, based on combinations of simple attributes that exhibited strong gradients in the data set. The attributes used were percent imperviousness in combination with either PG&E facilities or historic railroads. Introduction The San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (Water Board) has developed Total Maximum Daily Load reports (TMDLs) for Hg and PCBs (SFBRWQCB 2006, 2008). These TMDLs summarize available knowledge, provide linkages between waste loads and beneficial uses, and prescribe mass load reductions aimed at bringing San Francisco Bay into compliance with water quality objectives or other applicable standards (SFBRWQCB 2006, 2008). Both TMDLs call for increased effort by stormwater agencies to manage and reduce loads over a 20 year period (2028 for Hg and 2030 for PCBs).
