In the spring of 2019, this survey was completed by approximately 900 people throughout the Bay Area, primarily those who live, work, commute through, or recreate at or near the shoreline. 1. Are you familiar with the Hayward Regional Shoreline that is managed by East Bay Regional Park District and Hayward Area Recreation and Park District? The majority of people surveyed are familiar with the Hayward Regional Shoreline. 2. What’s your association with the project area? The majority of those surveyed either drive through the area or enjoy the views of the Shoreline. Approximately two thirds of those surveyed visit the Shoreline and about one third live near the Shoreline. A smaller percentage (about ten percent) specified that they enjoy activities such as birding, cycling, jogging or walking along the Shoreline. A negligible amount of those surveyed stated they’d like to see restaurants built on the area.

  • Historical Status of Coho Salmon in Streams of the Urbanized San Francisco Estuary, California
    CALIFORNIA FISH AND GAME California Fish and Game 91(4):219-254 2005 HISTORICAL STATUS OF COHO SALMON IN STREAMS OF THE URBANIZED SAN FRANCISCO ESTUARY, CALIFORNIA ROBERT A. LEIDY1 U. S. Environmental Protection Agency 75 Hawthorne Street San Francisco, CA 94105 [email protected] and GORDON BECKER Center for Ecosystem Management and Restoration 4179 Piedmont Avenue, Suite 325 Oakland, CA 94611 [email protected] and BRETT N. HARVEY Graduate Group in Ecology University of California Davis, CA 95616 1Corresponding author ABSTRACT The historical status of coho salmon, Oncorhynchus kisutch, was assessed in 65 watersheds surrounding the San Francisco Estuary, California. We reviewed published literature, unpublished reports, field notes, and specimens housed at museum and university collections and public agency files. In watersheds for which we found historical information for the occurrence of coho salmon, we developed a matrix of five environmental indicators to assess the probability that a stream supported habitat suitable for coho salmon. We found evidence that at least 4 of 65 Estuary watersheds (6%) historically supported coho salmon. A minimum of an additional 11 watersheds (17%) may also have supported coho salmon, but evidence is inconclusive. Coho salmon were last documented from an Estuary stream in the early-to-mid 1980s. Although broadly distributed, the environmental characteristics of streams known historically to contain coho salmon shared several characteristics. In the Estuary, coho salmon typically were members of three-to-six species assemblages of native fishes, including Pacific lamprey, Lampetra tridentata, steelhead, Oncorhynchus mykiss, California roach, Lavinia symmetricus, juvenile Sacramento sucker, Catostomus occidentalis, threespine stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus, riffle sculpin, Cottus gulosus, prickly sculpin, Cottus asper, and/or tidewater goby, Eucyclogobius newberryi.

  • Salmon and Steelhead in Your Creek: Restoration and Management of Anadromous Fish in Bay Area Watersheds
    Salmon and Steelhead in Your Creek: Restoration and Management of Anadromous Fish in Bay Area Watersheds Presentation Summaries (in order of appearance) Gary Stern, National Marine Fisheries Service Steelhead as Threatened Species: The Status of the Central Coast Evolutionarily Significant Unit Under the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA), a "species" is defined to include "any distinct population segment of any species of vertebrate fish or wildlife which interbreeds when mature." To assist NMFS apply this definition of "species to Pacific salmon stocks, an interim policy established the use of "evolutionarily significant unit (ESU) of the biological species. A population must satisfy two criteria to be considered an ESU: (1) it must be reproductively isolated from other conspecific population units; and (2) it must represent an important component in the evolutionary legacy of the biological species. The listing of steelhead as "threatened" in the California Central Coast resulted from a petition filed in February 1994. In response to the petition, NMFS conducted a West Coast-wide status review to identify all steelhead ESU’s in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and California. There were two tiers to the review: (1) regional expertise was used to determine the status of all streams with regard to steelhead; and (2) a biological review team was assembled to review the regional team's data. Evidence used in this process included data on precipitation, annual hydrographs, monthly peak flows, water temperatures, native freshwater fauna, major vegetation types, ocean upwelling, and smolt and adult out-migration (i.e., size, age and time of migration). Steelhead within San Francisco Bay tributaries are included in the Central California Coast ESU.

  • SFEI Introductory Brochure on Alameda Creek Historical Ecology Study
    THE HISTORICAL ECOLOGY OF 1878 ALAMEDA CREEK PROJECT OVERVIEW Over the next two years, a team of researchers will collect and synthesize thousands of historical documents relating to the past landscape of the Alameda Creek watershed. This process will reveal what the watershed looked like and how it functioned before extensive development. This information will help local stakeholders to better understand the causes of present-day challenges and to develop strategies for watershed enhancement. 1939 PROJECT GOALS The Alameda Creek Historical Ecology Study aims to develop an understanding of the historical extent and function of terrestrial, fluvial, riparian, and wetland resources in the Alameda Creek watershed. Examples of topics addressed in the project include: • What kinds of wetlands occurred where (and why)? • How did riparian vegetation, seasonal flow, and fish habitat vary among different stream reaches? • How have creek depth, width, morphology, and connectivity changed over time? • What habitats characterized adjacent floodplains: for example, oak savanna, wildflower meadows, or seasonal wetlands? 2005 AMADOR HAYWARD VALLEY LIVERMORE VALLEY NILES Alameda NILES SAN CONE Creek CANYON ANTONIO SUNOL RESERVOIR VALLEY Alameda Creek CALAVERAS Lower Alameda Creek at Quarry Lakes viewed through RESERVOIR time in a 1878 map (Thompson & West), 1939 aerial photos Flood view of Mocho Canal in January 1914 (USDA), and 2005 aerial photos.

    Up Your Creek! The electronic newsletter of the Alameda Creek Alliance Alameda Creek Restoration Day – March 17 Join the Alameda Creek Alliance for a stewardship project along Alameda Creek on Saturday, March 17th from 10 am to 1 pm. Come spend a Saturday morning enhancing habitat along the creek with friends and neighbors. We’ll continue our project of removing ivy and clearing weeds around our recent native tree and shrub plantings. We’ll also work on clearing a pile of tree trimmings that had been dumped at our site. This continues past work by ACA volunteers, and your efforts are enhancing habitat for fish and wildlife along Alameda Creek now and for years to come. Thanks to Linda, a CivicSpark Fellow at Alameda County Water District, for partnering with us on this workday. For more details and to register please visit our Eventbrite page. We ask that you register in advance on there so we know how many people to expect, but last-minute volunteers are always welcome. There’s no need to print the registration ticket. Meet at 10 am near 1004 Old Canyon Road in Fremont (just past Clarke Drive). There is parking along the road on the creek side where it widens some. We'll work until 1:00 pm. Please wear long pants and sturdy, closed-toe shoes that can get dirty (no sandals or flip-flops). We provide gloves and tools. The work isn't on much of a slope, but the ground can be uneven. The ground and vegetation will likely be cool and wet when we start, so please wear clothes that can get damp and possibly dirty.

The information contained in this analysis is primarily based upon the Biological Assessment, Gentry-Suisun Project, City of Suisun City, Solano County, California prepared by The Huffman-Broadway Group (2006) and the Wetland Delineation and Special- Status Species Survey Report prepared by Vollmar Consulting (2003). Additional details on plant and wildlife species presence are based upon field surveys performed by Foothill Associates’ biologists. This report describes the habitat types, jurisdictional waters, and presence/absence of special-status plants and animals at the Proposed Project area and provides a review of existing literature, maps, and aerial photography pertaining to the biological resources of the area. It also evaluates potential impacts of the proposed Project in relation to CEQA and other environmental laws, and provides mitigation recommendations. Foothill Associates has prepared this Section of the EIR for the proposed Suisun Gentry Project (Project) in central Solano County, California.
